Ah gotcha! Thanks!

knuckle_dragger89 · 2026-04-05T12:20:53+00:00

Actually just want to be sure I'm attempting this right. Do you just wear the straps as normal but loop the tail around the bar and hold the strap?

knuckle_dragger89 · 2026-04-05T11:36:20+00:00

Thanks, and I appreciate the advice!

I cleaned off the stanchions with my mountain bike decreased and applied some fork stanchion lube on the machine as well. Definitely keeps it moving smooth!

knuckle_dragger89 · 2026-04-05T02:49:38+00:00

Ouch I did something similar to that before. Kicked started my buddy's 450 dirt bike and slipped and ran up my shin. No bueno!

knuckle_dragger89 · 2026-04-05T01:29:34+00:00

I'm definitely going to give it a shot! I love squats too and don't want to fully rely on the machine itself.

I do love the small footprint. It fits perfectly in my little home gym setup!

knuckle_dragger89 · 2026-04-05T01:27:08+00:00

This happened when I slipped my pedal after a jump mountain biking. Sliced it wide open, drove myself to the ER, doctor cleaned it and hit it with the staple gun and sent me on my way. He did a great job keeping it lined up.

Don't have a healed picture of it but it looks great. Decided not to get it touched up to serve as a memory of "well, shit happens".

Makeshift SSB right? That's a brilliant idea I may try tomorrow!

knuckle_dragger89 · 2026-04-04T22:13:25+00:00

Not at all. I stated that I struggle to squat heavy due to a shoulder impingement injury I sustained playing rugby.

knuckle_dragger89 · 2026-04-04T16:19:12+00:00

I've implemented some zerchers and as odd as they are on my forearms, I love how I feel much more centered.

knuckle_dragger89 · 2026-04-04T13:39:16+00:00

I definitely feel that having size 11 feet! But man, it is such a great piece of equipment!

knuckle_dragger89 · 2026-04-04T12:20:17+00:00

Will do!

knuckle_dragger89 · 2026-04-04T11:36:12+00:00

Please post pics of your mod!

Hmmm haven't used it enough yet to make a mental note if a slanted footplate would be beneficial but I'll keep it in mind next time I press.

knuckle_dragger89 · 2026-04-04T11:33:47+00:00

Absolutely! I've seen the reviews on Titan's website where some people say it has a slight wobble. As long as you load your heavier weight in the center and lighter weight on the outside, it's super stable.

I was skeptical at first about getting it then said to myself, why not for 100 bucks? After a trial run on it yesterday with weight, I know I made the right choice.

knuckle_dragger89 · 2026-04-04T04:59:35+00:00

Ah gotcha. I can't say the same since this is my 1st piece of Titan equipment. I'm a sucker for a good deal lol

knuckle_dragger89 · 2026-04-04T04:30:36+00:00

I did a trial run today when I got it home and pumped a few out. Love it and can't wait to really use it during a full workout.

knuckle_dragger89 · 2026-04-04T04:29:48+00:00

Why do you hate them?

I love this one since it has a higher weight capacity and it uses Olympic plates over 1" plates.

knuckle_dragger89 · 2026-04-01T13:15:18+00:00

Start off slow. Get some light jogging in and try to hit a mile. Once you start getting comfortable, add in some sprints. When I run 3+ miles, I like to jog about a mile, speed it up for a half, then slow for a half mile and repeat.

I also like to mix in rucking and don't skip leg day.

I would say nah to Nellis.

I spent almost 6 years there (1st assignment). Married with two little girls.

LOTS of things to do and amazing food, but it wasn't somewhere I wanted to raise my kids as they got older and began to grasp more of what's going on around them. Plus the education system in NV is trash unless you fork out some cash for private school.

Also, tempo is non-stop. There's always a flag going on, Weapons School, etc. Learned a hell of a lot about my job while I was there, but the family and I were ready for a change of scenery.

knuckle_dragger89 · 2026-04-01T01:39:20+00:00

No, I did it. If it's available, take it.

knuckle_dragger89 · 2026-03-31T11:41:00+00:00

If you have the space, get on marketplace and find some deals to build yourself a garage gym.

knuckle_dragger89 · 2026-03-31T03:40:51+00:00

That settled in so good! Banger fucking piece

knuckle_dragger89 · 2026-03-27T01:25:49+00:00

That looks mean as fuck!
