That's a sweet attachment. I like titan stuff. One suggestion, take it or leave it. Doesn't matter. But could you go to the opposite corner away from the land mine to rest the bar on? May keep from stressing everything as much since the peg you're resting it on would be closer to the weights. Or keep it just like you've got it, but go up in a higher hole for the rest/catch peg to keep from having so much leverage on the bar.
I have the same Titan Fitness Viking Press Ricardo. Can't beat the quality for the price. Thanks for the suggested band peg application! I have Safety Straps and can't use the Pin/Pipe pivot system from Black Widow. Btw, mine came with a tightening bolt to secure the Viking Press to my barbell.
That handle looks pretty good. A while back I bought a much more expensive one. If I would have known about the Titan one I could have saved some $. FYI - Black widow training gear sells a rod and pipe safety pivot (around $29 or so). It slides over rod and pipe safeties on a rack. I bought one and it is pretty good. On the other end of my rack where the weight comes down I bought some cheap lift slings that can handle a ton of weight (since I don't have a strap system). If I need to I can dump the weight on the strap which seems to damage the bar less. This set-up is very easy to adjust and feels pretty safe.
Brandon Campbell Diamond yeah its adjustable to any point vertically or horizontally as long as there are holes. I didnt think about setting it up for ohp. Maybe you can do a video on that good sir
Pando - great video. Great to see some Titan Fitness accessories getting reviewed. Innovative way to stack your bar on top of that band peg (and placing your landmine near the rear of your rack). Great vids, bro. Keep them coming! -Joe
Leo Pando I’m sure if you contacted Titan about the missing knob, they would ship you out one. Even more so since you’re reviewing their equipment with 1000’s of people watching....
daddyscientist I’m going to buy a new screw knob from Lowes. They usually have a decent variety to pick from after you find the thread pitch of course.
I also have the same viking press. It was purchased last year and the tightening knob is very small and difficult to secure to the bar. Replacing the knob is a must.
Got mine yesterday, but it slid down the collar for me when I used it. It looks like you don’t even screw it in, how’d you get the handle locked in place?
Question.Are you cheating by kinda bouncing when your pressing the weight up? Or is that the way your suppose to preform the exercise? Its looks like it would be more challenging and beneficial if you stood still and just pushed with a mind muscle connection. Just curious .🤔🤔🤔
Finish Strong Fitness hmm mine didn't have that. It's not a huge deal as the plates themselves should help once you load it up. I'll email them and ask them. Thanks!
What is with dropping weights from the air, If someone did that in my gym, I would throw them out. If you are strong enough to lift the weight, Then set it down properly.
Your dumbbell collection is boss level for a home gym! You have one of the best home gyms I have ever seen.

You could put some sort of tape on the handles to help your grip

Rick Viramontes dammit! I didnt get a bolt /: guess ill have to contact these guys lol your welcome rick! Glad i could help
Nice channel and home gym. I'm planning on getting mine this year. This is inspiring. I'm subscribed
I think this is the first review on this thing out there. A couple weeks ago I went searching to see if I could find one with no luck.
Good stuff man!
Joseph Williams -JAWs Fitness awesome bro, hope it helps!!
use some hokey tape to improve grip

Might have to pick this up. Are your land mines adjustable? Have you thought about mounting them higher and doing more of a OHP?
Brandon Campbell Diamond yeah its adjustable to any point vertically or horizontally as long as there are holes. I didnt think about setting it up for ohp. Maybe you can do a video on that good sir
Ceiling too short, I'm too tall :(
Brandon Campbell Diamond Dig a hole.
Brandon Campbell Diamond get on your knees
Brandon Campbell Diamond you can do them half kneeling or kneeling and still get pretty good core engagement.
I ditched the peg and just put a extra Olympic bar across the rack when I do these lifts, that way neither bar will bend out of shape...
Could do landmine front squats with it also.
steven fitzgerald oh yeah good point!
I have set my Viking press Landmine attachment higher for shoulder press
Pando - great video. Great to see some Titan Fitness accessories getting reviewed. Innovative way to stack your bar on top of that band peg (and placing your landmine near the rear of your rack). Great vids, bro. Keep them coming! -Joe
daddyscientist awesome! Glad the video helps brother
For grip you can always wrap it with athletic tape or use chalk.
Thank you for this quick and informative review!
Glad ur back
This is a great review. Where do I get that peg that holds your bar while doing Viking presses.
interesting addition of equipment, yea, you should support your olympic bar better, just to save it the bend fatique over time
Thanks for the video! Have you been successful with doing backrows with it?
The land mine end should be up close to shoulder level.
Have put athletic tape over it we used to do that for the fat bars a
On my gyms pull bar
How do you secure the handle to the bar without screwing on the T-nut??
Solid review! Quick unrelated question. Do you park your car on top of your stall mats?
Not regularly but I have a few times, those things are made for horse stables so I think they are pretty durable
@@rnleopando bro , please post more videos 🙏🏼
I have the same Viking press. It gets the job done but I’m probably going to replace the tightening knob with a bigger one.
goforbroke2 i wish mine came with a knob /:

Mine didn't come with a knob either. I contacted them but no response. If you were to purchase, mind sharing the link?

Karl Sadek I think there is an issue with the last batch from Titan. There is a post about it on the homegym subreddit
bejasinski Really? Dang that sucks. I’m going to have to look it up, I emailed them a couple times. Still waiting. Thanks for letting me know!

This vid is most useful for rack set up idea; use other vids on UA-cam for large number of possibilities
do you think you could use it for linebacker squats? titan has their linebacker/wishbone but ive read the pads are too far apart
How is this for landmine squats? I’ve been considering purchasing it just need a 2nd opinion.
So cool. What brand is is
Buy a titan axle bar instead of a crappy sacrificial bar. It's cheap, won't bend and you can use it for thick bar work too.
Sweet gym man
thank you!
That’s a really nice garage gym!
I dont have the ceiling height to do overhead presses. Does this work the same muscle groups?
would that rogue landmine attachment fit on the titan t3?
I have been wanting to get one but it has been out of stock
Looks like a good equipment
Don't like using gloves when working out, but may use them with this...
You can go to home depot and buy rounded steel bar and save your money and not use your good barbell.
Because it's closer to the middle of the bar. You can see the bar bend in the video. Drop it on that pin a little too hard and your bar is toast
Maybe put it sideways inside the rack and use the safety strap to rack it
The fulcrum on the bar is causing too much strain. Slide the resting peg up three levels and slide it off to the right when using it.
Can do you give me dimensions of blackwidow for landmine?
Your content is on point
Zack Palmisano Bodybuilding thank you zack!
Welds look spotty.
mike zdanowicz yea, def not the best
Ok dumb question. How did you get it you stay on the end of the bar and not sliding down to the plates?
I purchased one last year. There's a small crossbar on the inside of the viking press bar that stops it from sliding all the way down.
Finish Strong Fitness hmm mine didn't have that. It's not a huge deal as the plates themselves should help once you load it up. I'll email them and ask them. Thanks!

Don't recall the weight being dropped once?
He means your bumpers lol
Yeah man! How dare you do what YOU want, in YOUR garage. with YOUR weights.
I mean it's not like that's part of the point of bumper plates either 🙄🙄
They're bumper plates mr.karen.... that's what they're for
which landmine do you have?
Great content # umm
My mom was supposed to buy me one for Christmas. I never got one, she claimed they were sold out!
Bodybuildingking Hard to buy something that's sold out, which was my point lol
Jesus 45 second intro. Wtf man
Boo hoo
You’ve got a lot of expensive equipment.
Grip tape.
I switched off after the man tights!!!
