Titan 2-in-1 Leg Extension/Leg Curl Machine Review: Budget Friendly w/ Features!

✅ Click to get the best price on the Titan Leg Extension! - www.garagegymreviews.com/go/t...
The Titan Leg Extension/Leg Curl is a combo unit designed to take up as little space as possible in a home gym while offering two machines not often seen. A leg extension is great for building massive teardrops on the quads while a leg curl helps to build ham-hock hamstrings and glutes.
I've been testing the budget-friendly Leg Extension & Leg Curl from Titan Fitness in my garage gym for over 6 months. Although there are certain things I would try and improve on the machine, overall, it's the best value leg extension for a home gym currently available.

Coops marketing effect

[@GusSanchez77]

You can actually adjust the arm so the resistance is a lot more consistent. For leg extension just set it deeper in, and for curls just set it higher. That makes the starting point heavier.

[@1TieDye1]

Do you lose any ROM when you do that?

[@iogpurge]

​@@1TieDye1no.

[@Senick]

@@1TieDye1 no you don't lose ROM, the rig moves at a 1:1 ratio, meaning if you spin the leg side a 1/4 circle, the other side will travel the same. What Gus is saying, is to adjust the weight side so that the arm is traveling between 7 and 10 oclock, vs 6 and 9 oclock like Coop has it set up.

[@auggie2297]

Could you put something underneath the front of it, to tilt the whole thing back to change or increase the angle ?

[@insaniti]

Remove the metal peg stopper, and you can go from leg extension to leg curl seamlessly. And as noted, start further back with leg extension and higher up on leg curl and you'll get more resistance in the beginning. I have a lot of Titan equipment, this is my far my fav.

[@CM-rt8gt]

Great review, I think he nailed all the pros and cons. I got this a year ago and it’s been great to have a leg extension and leg curl in a small footprint. It’s not a commercial piece, but it’s great for the home gym.

[@user-le7so8sw8j]

Question? Will it get the job done? Thank you 🖤

[@jaredmatthews9403]

Been waiting forever for this review thanks

[@LONGFITNESS]

Recommend you remove that stop pin for the weight arm. Makes transitioning from leg extension to leg curl much easier. No need to flip th arm all the way upland around. Also, for greater resistance at the bottom you can set the weight arm up further in front and the leg arm further back. You can also attach a low cable to it for resistance.

[@GarageGymReviews]

I hadn't even thought about attaching a cable for more resistance. Genius idea, thank you. -Mike, GGR Community Manager

[@jackminnella8466]

35min earlier than me. We had the same idea!!

[@japesg]

Can you elaborate on this? Which part is the weight arm and what is low cable?

[@mach5jeep]

I believe the Body Solid and XMark versions of this machine have a pin that pulls out so you don't have to swing the weight arm around 350 degrees. It would be nice if that same pin was also movable along an arc like the arm for the legs. This way you could start the weight arm from a 8 or 4 o'clock position instead of 6 but that would require a huge piece of steel. I had the Body Solid version but sold it pre-Covid for $250 (facepalm) Wish I had it back

[@LONGFITNESS]

@@japesg the arm that holds the weight. There is a safety stop pin that prevents it from moving forward or back at the bottom position. I just removed it completely. Not necessary at all in my opinion.

[@dustinchestnutt4502]

Put a 35 lb plate on the peg to switch it from extensions to curls and it solves the resistance problem.

[@kylesimpson9584]

If you put a 5-25lb plate on the stop pin for the weight arm it works better. It makes the starting weight higher. Also helps to get more ROM on extensions. Partner takes it off during the first rep and replaces it on the last.

[@michaellevine2155]

great video as always. I have this piece, and I put (2) 5kg change plates on the stopper. This fixes that zero resistance at the bottom of the motion.

[@DanielGarcia-th5ri]

Just bought mine. Review is spot on in my opinion and I am glad I picked this up. It's a good buy in my opinion simply for the foot print and functionality.

[@illimatick3243]

[@gymreviewer]

The plate storage option is creative... wasn't expecting that!

[@weehooherod]

Coop try this for the resistance through ROM. Stack some stuff (ideally silencer pads) under the plates in the resting position so that the weight arm is at 45 degrees in the bottom position. This should make the resistance higher in the beginning, highest in the middle of the ROM, and then a bit lower when getting to full contraction.

[@GarfirethePorscheGuy]

I was thinking the same.

Hey Coop.. Try adding a linear shaped pad or rolled up towel under your hamstrings. This should lower the angle of the hip joint to the knee. This should solve the problem of not feeling resistance at the beginning of the leg extension exercise option. Hope that helps. Keep up the great content.

[@anthonyclark9159]

I love plate loaded, especially since the beginning of the movement is where the risk of injury is highest

[@VincentS988]

You can add a resistance band from the plate peg in the back to the foot pad… Feels really good!

[@kevinlashley277]

Been waiting for this for months let’s gooo

[@heath8812]

The the weight plates will offer the most resistance when it is moving vertically. Make bumpers in varied sizes that go on the stop pin. These bumpers would hold the resistance arm at a more optimal starting point, say 7:30 (on a clock face) so that vertical resistance is in play from the initial movement.

[@thousandsmiles2013]

Coop! I've literally been waiting for you to review this piece that's been so obviously lurking around the background of all your other home gym videos. So glad you did! Love this piece. One point you didn't touch on is the camber angle can be finessed to perform similarly to primes leg curl leg extension using the various laser cut holes. Please do a review on all of Prime Fitness's various new generation cavle attachments!!!! The world will thank you. I appreciate all that you do Coop, you truly are revolutionizing the way fitness has been evolving and I think many may not recognize that but I thank you for your reviews man!

I got one of these recently! One thing that I've done, especially for leg extensions, is I put the pad WAY back. Then when I get into it, the load is already on my legs when I get to resting position (pull it forward basically while I sit down), and then I have resistance more throughout instead of just at the top. :D

[@unkkit151]

The easier ROM at the beginner of the leg extension is actually a pro for me. The start of the ROM can cause knee pain so this works perfectly!

[@thetruemorg]

It seems like a very cool piece to add in such a small space. With the weight stack versions of these in commercial gyms they're just too expensive to justify having them in a garage gym generally. I wonder if you said it next to a weight stack you have for something like lat pulldown or row you could just extend that cable and use that on the horn and it would probably take care of quite a bit of that early free travel the plate loaded variety has. I would personally love to have one of these in my garage gym just to be able to go over and get a pump in the thighs or hamstring two or three times a day.

[@roberthernandez3099]

I was seriously just letting my wife know that something like this would be a perfect addition to our home gym. Perfect timing for this video.

[@spartan7404]

The means to increase weight in rom is to change the leverage. Have the mounting peg longer and extend our beyond where the kick pad is, meaning you’d be applying force to the short arm of the lever.

What would be awesome is for some of these companies to come up with a contraption that would level a portion of a sloping garage floor. I love my garage gym and this is the only pain-point for garage set up.

[@tomtraill508]

For me, I think that the first piece of equipment would be a modular power rack, the second a functional cable trainer, and the third (providing that I can do lat pull downs and low rows on the cables) might be a leg extension/ leg curl

[@tuggleworm2690]

the "budget" version of this would be what I have. A titan T3, a couple pulley systems I put on my rack for like 70 bucks, and a leg extension. The only thing I'm missing is the low rows.

[@timladiesman09]

If you push the arm into a bit higher starting position before you start the leg extension the lower resistance is a bit better, but it’s a pain to do when you’re already in the machine. I usually try to get my feet as far backwards as possible instead. It basically does the same thing.

[@jeffsimms8060]

[@kim.5874]

"War zone fitness" reviews this leg extension too and he shows how to fix the rom resistance problem. He swings the weight plate then pops the pin into place when the swinging weight is at a certain spot. Then you have resistance from the very beginning of movement

[@brianmurray8199]

I see that it's got pin holes all around the disc. If you wanted more resistance at the bottom you could pin it so that the weight arm is closer to horizontal. When the weight arm is vertical the first movement of the weight is forward (or backward), so it's not going against gravity so the resistance is minimized. When the weight arm is horizontal your lifting the entirety of the weight with no assistance from the weight arm. Having said that, with the load moving through an arc like that it is indeed unavoidable that the resistance will vary throughout the ROM. But you could work 45 degrees below to 45 degrees above parallel to stay in the range that provides the most resistance.

Like, yes, of course. But also, maybe tighten the bolts?

[@NittoNba44]

Coop might need to do another review when he actually figures out how to use it. I've seen a lot of guys who have owned it for a while and they seem to have figured out the pin position to have better resistance, ie not putting the pin at the very bottom.

The lack of resistance for both movements at the start of the rep is super easy to fix. Rather than the weight plates rest at the bottom against that pipe 'stop', if the plates were supported perhaps 4-6 inches up either side from the bottom resting position, then when you commence the contraction movement, the weight is already within the resistance range.

[@baltox61]

I actually attach mine to my titan low row part of the lat pull. Connect it with a chain collar, then added some wheels to it as well so i can wheel it in. Works great and makes it have fairly even resistance throughout

Jack the front up to increase the resistance at the start of the movement. The Higher = The Harder. Better still, Titan should build it more reclined.

[@blakesum92]

Could you hook it up to a rack mounted pulley system to fix the weight curve? I feel like you could rig something up with a longer cable and two pulleys? Just a thought.

[@RoryEllisMusic]

The weight horn portion needs to start at a slight angle forward (10 degrees or so) and the leg pad needs to be offset backwards by about 10 degrees. That would make it so you get tension through the full ROM. At least for the leg extension portion. If that doesn’t make sense, let me know. I can draw it out.

[@xinsanedefeatx]

I feel like you could also use this as a standing leg curl if you kept the weight arm in the front leg extension position and lean over the thigh pad. Then you could grip the handles or possibly the back of the seat. Imagine you could also finagle rear delt flys or modified high rows by leaning over the weight arm. Possibly lateral raises if you either sit on the floor or on some kind of block/pad if you need a bit of added height to get better ROM. Obviously none of these things would be ideal, especially for a taller person, but if all you have is a rack and this machine it might be able to add a few more options to your workouts

There are other brands that allow you to choose the starting position for the weight arm. So for leg extensions you can have the weight arm extended up at the start of the motion which improves the amount of resistance at the start of the rep.

Thanks, Coop. I recently tried (and failed) the leg extension/curl machine from Yukon and was horribly disappointed. And their customer service sucks balls! So it's good to know there are better options out there. Quick question - other than the pivot/swivel on the bottom arm, does the arm move up or down? The Yukon one wanted to move up on the outside part (away from the pivot point) and it always felt like the resistance was not balanced.

[@NittoNba44]

We need to see Titan vs Valor vs Archon plate loaded tower pulley. Most home gym guys use these for cable systems and we need to know which is best as some are double the price of others.

[@josephearhart6623]

Way around the resistance issue - connect a cable machine (I have a freemotion cable crossover) to the weight peg in addition to the plates. Make sure the cable is perfectly in line with the bottom of the leg extension/curl movement and I typically put the same weight on the cable stack as the plate (45 lb plate and 45 lb cable stack) to even out the resistance. Cable pulls at the bottom of the movement to give you resistance at the bottom and then at the top when the cable isn’t as much resistance the plate has max resistance with gravity. I use an ankle cuff and a plate collar to attach the cable to the weight peg and secure the plate/cable. Hope that helps/makes sense!

@Joseph Earhart I am going to have to try this for sure. You have tried it this way. Did it seem more like a selectorized version at a commercial gym?- Mike, GGR Community Manager.

@@GarageGymReviews yes I own the valor fitness CC4 (similar to the titan) and use leg extensions and curls this way for training. If I want to emphasize the shortened position on leg extensions I will add more weight in plates than the cable so it is harder at the top but still smoother than weight plates alone without the cable, and if I want to emphasize the more lengthen quad position at the start of the movement I’ll make the cable heavier than the weight plates. Similar logic with the leg curl as well. Makes for a decent substitute for commercial leg ext/curls. Not as good as a prime leg curl/extension but for my tiny space it works.

How about a cam attachment that can connect to one of their low/high pulley systems?
