I mean to be fair titan has upped their quality from where they started as purely cheap chinesium garbage. Thats when i bought my rack from them, definitely wasnt quality but its been good for me the past 5yr lol
Yes ring colors please. Really like this design. I bet we start seeing a lot more collars in the future with this style of locking. Thanks so much for sharing.
I've had mine for a few weeks now and I LOVE THEM! And you absolutely can set and remove them one handed as long as you have some weight on the bar. The only thing you might have to be careful about is removing them if you have small plates on because the magnets could pull them off the bar too if you're not careful.
10:51 I love my 2" dumbell weights (like the green one) to use on a barbell I feel if you are not lifting 100s of lbs, there is no need for the cumbersome larger diameter 45 lb weights, unless you need the height for deadlifts. There's plenty of room on the loading pin to put 200-250 lbs on, enough for me who isn't super strong and never does heavy singles due to advanced age
heya coop. couldn't find any yet but you can create a guide or review 2nd gloor gyms? ended up buying a house with no driveway so can't use the garage. first floor just has a living room/kitchen so upstairs it is for a home gym. missus wants a treadmil (marathon runner) and i mainly do free weights (rogue squat stand for bench/skwatz). no deadlifts needed
Torture Fail! Did not get yeeted off a roof on a Rogue DB15 dumbbell handle with two 45lb dumbbell bumpers! c'mon Coop, those green bumpers are good for this!!!
whats the locking mechanism? the real question is would repeated drops- ie testing not brand new but after months of overhead drops- would it still be gripping and holding comparable to brand new, would repeated drops be damaging the lock mechanism over time
since your review I was interested but they are out of stock for the last month. They must be popular. Supposed to send me an email once back in stock. I like the build on these.
I discovered titan fitness in 2015 and I exclusively only bought equipment from them just because the quality has always been amazing for home use and the free shipping cannot be beat!! Titan is my saving grace unfortunately I can never get my hands on their bumper plates because they’re always sold out like their adjustable 200lb dumbells!! I did get my bar from rogue because the boneyard had Ohio bars for $150 which got me a beautiful black oxide Ohio bar but I did get the 60 in bar from titan for small accessory work and because of my limited space it allows me to do barbell exercises in a limited amount of space
I've been trying to find the perfect collar for my young kid. I don't trust him to use the Rogue aluminum ones without losing a finger or breaking his hand taking them off. These might just be the perfect solution!
Coop any chance you'll be reviewing the MAXUM Fitness SX2? Seems like one of the best all-in-one racks on the market and really good value for all it includes but there's not much coverage of it!
Nice design, for some reason I feel like I'd like a nice fancy set of clips but I find that I can easily fit & remove the bog standard cheapo style clamps easily with only one hand & they are more than adequate for normal weight lifting so I've yet to see a fancy barbell clip that would make me want to ditch my cheapos.
Hmmmm... was very interested to use at my gym because all the plastic collars are worn and loose... but $70 is kinda steep for a quick fix. Especially simce the Rogue's are $20 cheaper and hold better. I HATE wobbly plates lol
Cool idea and looks like a solid product but not sure I can justify spending over $50 on barbell collars. Also, agree that the Rogue collars are better in terms of security but have you ever hit your knuckle with the clasp? Ouch! Not hard to do especially when tired...
Seems like a pretty easy torture test. A lot of CrossFit exercises have 20-60 reps. I’d assume dropping it a dozen or so times will cause them to loosen. Why so few reps in the test?
I really like these had I not picked up the rogue aluminum ones I probably would get these. Getting the rogue ones off and on are a little bit of a bitch for an old weak handed putz like myself...
Like reviewers in just about every other industry, we sometimes get samples ahead of time. Especially when the companies think what they've got is good. - Coop
@@pkd.81 more like they filmed this prior to the launch and had it ready upon the product being released. As far as being paid even IF true as long as the review is honest showing the cons and benefits I take no issue. Thank you for the "congrats" but I don't need it for watching a video about a product I was genuinely interested about even if an infomercial. Hey congrats on commenting (see it's off-putting)...
While I get the safety aspect of not having collars on when benching, I really hate the plates moving around. Someone should make a collar that is purposefully weak, so it can hold the plates together, but will slide off if you fail and tip the bar.
testing HOLD is best done w/ multiple plates like 45s and 3pr of 10s so you get the energy transfer effect which really loosens... especially from an overhead drop onto stall mats on concrete
I have a friend he owns a CrossFit gym he bought some pull up bars for his rig to add to the class rig and 2 of them was from titan fitness. He had 2 people jump up on the titan bar and after the first person it was fine the second person the next day the bar broke off the rig the bar was bolted in to the up rights all the holes had bolts in it was super tight as well. The bar broke at the right after the bracket that attaches to the rig the weld broke on it. They refuse to use titan equipment for now on.
If you don't do anything crazy with the bar just go to harbor freight. Buy some cheap plastic clamps that are big enough. They're like 2$ each. I use them all the time on squat and deadlift. I have even used them on Olympic lifts to varying degrees of success. If they break no big deal go buy another one or two or just put duct tape on it.

Titan and Patent were two words that I’d never expected to be together 😅
I've been expecting it for a long time, along with one more word: Lawsuit.
Now we wait for Rogue to take the idea and turn the tables.

@@greekd00d69 9 years later, my T3 rack is still standing, I was able to afford quality benches, bars ect.
Shoutout to titan for allowing me to effectively train at home at an affordable price. Will support them always.
Coop is probably the single most reason that we get so much knurling these days. Thanks Bud!
Talked to Titan at home gym con. They tested them to 20,000 cycles with no issues and have been using them at the hq gym for 6 months with no issues
Not the knurled horse stall mats that I wanted, but it's the correct step in that direction.
WE WANT VOLCANO KNURL STALL MATS FOR $39.99 OR ELSE! - Coop
I gots some rubber crumb knurled ones. They work ok.

These look dope! The knurling, aluminum and the magnets sold me. Just bought a pair. Thank you for the great review as always Coop!!
The lack of Titan/tighten puns is disappointing.
Well I just pulled the trigger after seeing this advertised for the 3rd time. These look pretty nice.
This is a crazy month there was the new rep cable system, repxpeppin dumbells, and the Nuobell 240’s, and now these
Yes ring colors please. Really like this design. I bet we start seeing a lot more collars in the future with this style of locking. Thanks so much for sharing.
Those look really nice. I don't need collars but I sort of want these anyway.
Do it.
Knew this was coming once they announced. This design is incredibly smart. Magnetic, knurled, simple twist, aluminum.
Rogue are what I have and the only ones I trust for my adjustable dumbbell handles but do like the magnet part for the titans
I know they are just collars but I like the innovation. Great video as usual!
Still waiting for the restock!
These look really nice, seems like they hold up well for general use.

Love the channel and love you coop, that stash is going to take over the channel soon enough though, be careful.
Thanks to coop, I am now a proud owner of titan locking collars.
I'd love to see an updated review on the GR3 rack.
For years I keep coming back to this channel just to see if this guy gains any muscle. He never does.
🤦🏾♂️

Have you covered the Lockjaw flex aluminum collars?
Love a collar review.
Who doesn't like a good collar review from Coop? No one I want to hang around with that's for sure.....
Hey coop how’s your gym adventure going?
Will this work on olympic lifts and crossfit?
whats the locking mechanism? the real question is would repeated drops- ie testing not brand new but after months of overhead drops- would it still be gripping and holding comparable to brand new, would repeated drops be damaging the lock mechanism over time
This was a cool video. 🤙
since your review I was interested but they are out of stock for the last month. They must be popular. Supposed to send me an email once back in stock. I like the build on these.
I like Strength Co. collars bc you don’t have to slide them all the way off to put more weight on.

So there’s not chance that these would fit smaller specialty bars like Elite’s SSB?
Unfortunately no, unless they come out with a small diameter version. I tried it, they just slide off. - Coop
@@GarageGymReviewsthat’s unfortunate, thanks for the info Coop 💪
Hey Mr. Coop could you please review those lever arms behind you from PRX they look awesome.
YEP! Been testing them. Review in the works! - Coop
@@GarageGymReviews Great
I'd prefer colors. Black accessories on a black rubber floor or on a black rack, or in a half-lit garage gym, disappears too easily.
Can u review those upper body cardio bike things??
When are you going to review Griffin's new adjustable bench?
Hey Coop,
What machine is the one to the right of the video? It looks like a shoulder machine. Please let me know. Thanks
Just bought them using your affiliate link Coop. Thank you!
Are those standing light saber lights in the background? Looks sweet, would like that in my home gym.
Incoming review of the PRX rack👀
I've been trying to find the perfect collar for my young kid. I don't trust him to use the Rogue aluminum ones without losing a finger or breaking his hand taking them off. These might just be the perfect solution!
Can you review some product from Griffin? I checked them out locally and their new products are really high quality.
.I was waiting for this 🏋♂️
Is coop teasing us with the PRX jammer arms in the background
Out of stock 😔 but definitely buying when it comes back
What's the thinnest and lightest collar that has a secure hold?
Coop any chance you'll be reviewing the MAXUM Fitness SX2? Seems like one of the best all-in-one racks on the market and really good value for all it includes but there's not much coverage of it!
Most shocking is Titan might have an engineer on their payroll
Love to see the maturation of Titan from "copy cat" to "innovator".
I see some lever arms in the back. When is that review coming out?
Do these work with an axle?
You should review the titan fat rackble ez curl bar
Would like to buy these but don't know if they will fit the 45 lb Fitness Gear Olympic style barbell.
I think they are really freaking cool
stainless would be sweet would potentially be a 2lb addition to the bar as well
Nice design, for some reason I feel like I'd like a nice fancy set of clips but I find that I can easily fit & remove the bog standard cheapo style clamps easily with only one hand & they are more than adequate for normal weight lifting so I've yet to see a fancy barbell clip that would make me want to ditch my cheapos.
Look awesome! Does anyone still make 2.5 lbs collars?
They missed out on the chance to call it the "Titan Tighten"
I'm buying them. I like them
Hmmmm... was very interested to use at my gym because all the plastic collars are worn and loose... but $70 is kinda steep for a quick fix. Especially simce the Rogue's are $20 cheaper and hold better. I HATE wobbly plates lol
Can you review the PRX talon's?
I bet it works one handed if you give the sleeve a lil' spin in the opposite direction first
Lol Saw the IG ad for them and was wondering when you'd get them.
Give the people what they want! Rogue, rep, someone bring the smith machine attachment already!
Titan ship to Canada at all yet, or still no? Cause man, I like those.
Cool idea and looks like a solid product but not sure I can justify spending over $50 on barbell collars. Also, agree that the Rogue collars are better in terms of security but have you ever hit your knuckle with the clasp? Ouch! Not hard to do especially when tired...
Damn. Just went to Titan website to purchase two pair of these but they are showing as out of stock.
How about integrating this locking mechanism directly into the plate itself? Then any plate can lock and you don't need a collar at all.
Jerry-rig the collar to a washing machine agitator and pop it on extended cycle. Durability test done!
Oooh, great idea! - Coop
ACTUALLY!!!!!!
Seems like a pretty easy torture test. A lot of CrossFit exercises have 20-60 reps. I’d assume dropping it a dozen or so times will cause them to loosen. Why so few reps in the test?
You forgot about the Strength Co collars 😉
Tells people not to say “actually” than proceeds to say “actually” 15 seconds later. lol
I'd buy those.
I really like these had I not picked up the rogue aluminum ones I probably would get these. Getting the rogue ones off and on are a little bit of a bitch for an old weak handed putz like myself...

how would you tell the difference in a gym full of collars the weak v. the strong ones?
Looks cool but doesn't seem dramatically better than the lever tension style collars to be honest.
testing HOLD is best done
w/ multiple plates like 45s
and 3pr of 10s so you get
the energy transfer effect
which really loosens...
especially from an
overhead drop onto
stall mats on concrete
WE SAW THE PRX JAMER CABLE ARMS! Don't hide it from us
2:51 Titan pretty well
Titan currently has these on sale for 15% off
I just was on the website and they didn't have that. If you bundle a Titan series Olympic barbell... You can get that
I didn't bundle and still got a lower price
Same I just added the collars only and it gave me the 15% off still.
Wish they were $49.99 and there were color options
Id pick them up

These are collars, not a pull up bar. Probably not even made by the same people, just have the same Titan sticker on them.
Magnets? Yaaaaas
any tips for removing the Titan branding?
@jaleesa00 was more of a joke about how Titan is perceived by the home gym community
If you don't do anything crazy with the bar just go to harbor freight. Buy some cheap plastic clamps that are big enough. They're like 2$ each. I use them all the time on squat and deadlift. I have even used them on Olympic lifts to varying degrees of success. If they break no big deal go buy another one or two or just put duct tape on it.
Always put the collars. For bench to, and ask for a spot
How are these not called Twist-to-Titan collars? Or Twist-Titaners? or Titan Tightens?
