How'd these turn out for you? I bought the same set 7ish years ago and I originally couldn't get standard bumper plates on them. Sanded the hell out of the ends and I can get plates on them now but it's such a fight I gave up and just use my trap bar instead.Bought a set of farmer handles. Hurried up and got a set while they were on sale.

They work great for me. I don’t know if they changed something with quality control. I have bumper plates from rogue and they all fit nicely.How'd these turn out for you?

Glad yours are solid! Probably. I thought I read Titan's overall quality improved. Can't remember exactly when, shortly before or after covid. I bought a Titan squat stand in 22 and it's fantastic.They work great for me. I don’t know if they changed something with quality control. I have bumper plates from rogue and they all fit nicely.
Yeah I have a few items from them and they are definitely very nicely made. Not what you’d expect from a cheaper company like they used to be.Glad yours are solid! Probably.

How’s the weight. I usually don’t like the battery pack in the back.
213gm which is a bit heavy I agree, but it’s lighter than the BD 750 Icon.How’s the weight. I usually don’t like the battery pack in the back.
Hook a lantern battery to it, get a bit of extra neck work in.213gm which is a bit heavy I agree, but it’s lighter than the BD 750 Icon.
Its the price you pay for for brightness and longevity…
A deadlift jack is something I didn’t own for years. And when I finally bought one, I was slapping myself for waiting so longBought this deadlift jack a while ago - it was cheap, doesn't take up space, and felt like buying something. It's solid and it works for my 2" diameter axle bar too which I was pleasantly surprised about:

A quick tip, just roll a plate on top of a 2.5 pound plate. It lifts it up slightly from the platform so you can easily change weights.A deadlift jack is something I didn’t own for years. And when I finally bought one, I was slapping myself for waiting so long
I've started doing some of the stick mobility stuff and really enjoy it. It feels good while I'm doing it and I keep feeling good when I do it regularly.Stick Mobility Training Stick Bundle
I was intrigued about the incorporation of irradiation and isometrics into active stretching. I tried some beginner exercises such as the Bow & Arrow and Slap Shot - fun stuff
I don't use my big DL jack often but I'm glad I have it. I picked up a used Rogue one for $30 from a local craigslist ad maybe 10-15 years ago. I do find myself wishing I had a better way to store it out of the way since I don't use it often but it's an odd shape.Bought this deadlift jack a while ago - it was cheap, doesn't take up space, and felt like buying something.

Yep, but you still have that initial plate to worry about how snug it is to the inside of the sleeve. With a jack, that's no longer an issue.A quick tip, just roll a plate on top of a 2.5 pound plate. It lifts it up slightly from the platform so you can easily change weights.
I’ve never had an issue with it. I have one of those small jacks but I rarely use it. But I also always have two plates on the bar I deadlift or zercher and a separate bar for using on my rack. I just roll the deadlift bar off my platform until I use it again.Yep, but you still have that initial plate to worry about how snug it is to the inside of the sleeve.

I had some issues with this with the 16 Perfomr Better. The distance to the handle is too small and I might end up touching the bone. It's also a light weight that most uses involve sitting on the forearm. If I ever buy a 16 again I'll buy a competition bell.The additional space worked to our advantage - my wife has a prominent wrist bone and she need that extra space to avoid hitting it with their 12 kg.
