Product Highlights
Pros & Cons
Bottom Line
Titan Fitness has come out with their most heavy-duty squat rack yet.
The Titan Fitness X-2 Power Rack may only have 2×2 uprights, but thanks to the thickness of the steel being 9 gauge compared to the traditional 11 gauge racks, the Titan X-2 Power rack can hold over 3,000 lbs making it one of the strongest rated racks on the market.
We reviewed the Titan T-3 in the past and have given great praise for being very similar to the Rogue R-3 at a much lower price.
The Titan X-2 features familiar features of many racks you’ve come to love including:
- J-Cups (left and right-handed, one of our biggest complaints from their previous offerings.)
- Fat and Skinny Pull-up Bar
- 4 plate holders included
- 4 band pegs
- Westside hole spacing through the bench area
- Side hole spacing for additional accessory points.
The Titan X-2 also comes in at a price point that blows many of its competitors out of the water. Typically, we suggest staying away from 2×2 racks, however, at this gauge steel, it’s actually stronger than many of the 2×3 and 3×3 racks currently on the market. That said, due to the thinner posts, there may be a bit more sway, although Titan has beefed up all of their connection points at the pull-up bar and foot plates.
If you’re looking for a squat rack that can take just about anything you can throw at it, at a price that can’t be beaten, then this is an excellent option for a rack.
We continue to be impressed by Titan Fitness and are excited to review their upcoming offerings in more detail.

If you’re reading this, I assume you’re probably pretty familiar with the brand Kabuki Strength. In the past few years, they’ve put out some of my favorite products including the versatile Trap Bar, Transformer Bar V4, and New Generation Power Bar. Kabuki recently released a flywheel, and I’ve been itching to try it.In this Kabuki Kratos Flywheel review, I’ll walk you through what’s included, unique aspects of this product, and my final thoughts. As always, I’ll give you all the details you need to make a smart buying decision for you.For those of you who aren’t familiar with flywheel training, it can be an effective way to build strength within your body’s connective tissue. It can also increase overall power, muscle hypertrophy, and force.Essentially, it’s useful for eccentric overload training where the muscle is stretched during both the lifting and lowering of your reps. The resistance is inertia driven, which means it is all based on how much force the user puts into the movement with the flywheel. Read more
