Titan Fitness Pulley System Anchor DIY

[@alexcalvo8094]

What is that noise when you pull?

[@acidic6706]

I'm glad the made this series on the Titan Pulley system. Since gyms are closing I've been focused on building my home gym on a budget

[@michaelrhodes6730]

Dude get thr aluminum pulleys. I did and its a huge difference

[@tonyrobinson9328]

I see many comments on the noise and the pulleys were blamed. However I think they simply need lubricated, if you do not wish to take the pulleys apart as they are already in place at least lubricate the pole they travel up and down on.

yikes whats up with that noise? I was thinking of getting this pulley system, but not if it sounds and moves like that. Think i'll go with the valor fitness model when it comes back in stock.

[@con5tant]

The Valor Fitness one looks identical to this (probably even the same manufactur) but it's twice as much as the Titan one

[@lvturner]

I watched another video of his, in order to 'fix' the rollers and make them smoother, he lubricated them, the spray looked more like a penetrant that removed the lube to me rather than an oil that would have actually lubricated it, this video pretty much confirmed it. In summary, he's stripped out all the lube from the bearings in the rollers by mistake. I think a better way to do the initial fix would have been to get some uprated bearings instead (but not sure how easy it would be to pop the old ones out)

[@Nick-ih5em]

I have that piece of equipment. Mine is smooth and quiet.

[@jallen1227]

Really slick solution ! Have the Valor cable system (almost identical to Titan), wondering how to adapt for Lat pulldowns and your design may work. Although, perhaps I may redesign to accommodate low rows also. What is the loud grinding noise when you pulldown ?

[@CurlsintheRack]

Thanks man, it works really well.... unfortunately that noise is the rollers that are cracked due to too much weight being used...💪🏻

[@myront.miller6868]

Nice. I got one of those not too long ago and was thinking of what i could do to be able to do heavier lat pull-downs. Good job and thanks for the idea.

[@tonydilnik5358]

That's pretty cool! Just curious what was that horrific noise when you were demonstrating the curls...🤔

[@CurlsintheRack]

The rollers… a bit sub par

[@JNeathawk]

should have put pins in the top part of your rig, then maybe a strap around it. then it would go on/off even faster and have no modifications to the original machine

[@Zach-nv4ul]

3:43 uh nope

[@bigk2080]

Why does it make a grinding noise?

[@ironbornstrength]

Does it always make that horrible sound?

[@CurlsintheRack]

Pretty much ;)

[@futbol1972]

It looks like this cable machine is more unconforable than the the machines with the cables far apart...also debating between this and the rail trainer quick stack to add to my prx squad rack??

[@urloony]

Is that grinding sound normal for Titan's pulley system?

[@CurlsintheRack]

after awhile the rollers break on the inside and that is why you hear that annoying grinding sound

[@futbol1972]

What's the max weigjt on the thingh?

[@futbol1972]

Are the functional trainers that have the cables far apart better than this machine that has the two cables close together? I also have a lat pull down machine do I really need this? I always wanted to get a functional trainer cable machine to add more exercises to what I already have..I also have a wall band station so I don't know if I really need a cable machine if I can use bands or bands and cables work different?

[@hill160881]

So why not just do pull-ups if you are lifting off the bench? Lat pull downs are pointless. When I get tired I use bands to take weight off and allow me to do more reps.

[@CurlsintheRack]

This is true... I personally just do weighted pull-ups with a dip belt, but everyone is in a different place when it comes to fitness and if you are doing pull downs I find it’s easier to focus on my lats when my legs are pinned

[@Carlito.undercover]

Does it also work to have a 20KG plate on your lap while you do lat pulldowns at around 100kgs? This is what I have been wondering in the interim of permanent solutions.

[@fabiosantana9909]

Gostei da sua máquina Pode passar as especificações dela ?

[@solomoe2]

Yo, are those pulleys that loud?

[@cliffmays1157]

I just purchased 2 of these pulley machines .one had bad pulleys and the other was missing parts. Called titan and they would not send new parts.said I needed to disassemble them repack and return them.lesson learned will never buy titan again.

[@bensonlau1420]

Hi there where did you get the end caps for the 1 inch pipes on both sides of the roller foam so it’s locked?

[@CurlsintheRack]

They are the ones from the Rogue Echo GHD

[@nickedwards2259]

Would replacing the pulleys with high quality pulleys be a good upgrade to do?

[@francisboutin2779]

Nick Edwards just replace the bearings.

[@zoogie1964]

hopefully you changed your pulleys, it sounds like they need to be

[@kevintjahjadi8994]

What sleeve did you put on the bars to make them Olympic size? Thanks.

[@SpencerStonelights]

This is the same question I have

[@richsharma1372]

Yeah it's not pretty 8:15
