Titan T-3 Series Adjustable Monolift Attachments
Just installed the new Titan T-3 Series Adjustable Monolift Attachments my wife surprised me with as an early Father’s Day gift, and honestly these solved one of the biggest annoyances with my basement setup.
My rack is only 72” tall and my basement ceilings are only 7’, so traditional standing or seated OHP inside the rack is basically impossible unless I want to smash the ceiling or the top crossmembers with the plates or bar.
Because of that, I’ve always had to press seated outside the rack; before adding the monolifts, I was starting OHPs from the safeties and doing this awkward “roll the bar toward me and muscle it up" every set. It worked, but it always felt clunky and not exactly ideal when the weight got heavier.
The adjustable monolifts completely changed that. Now I can start from a much better height and unrack the bar cleanly without the weird rolling setup. Huge difference in both comfort and stability.
For anyone curious, I’m also using a REP cambered Swiss bar for a neutral grip and extra face clearance, plus I keep my adjustable bench around 70 degrees which is much friendlier on my shoulders. The whole setup feels significantly safer now too. I’ve actually had a failed rep before where the bar dumped forward when I completely gassed out, luckily it fell into the rack and safeties so having a more controlled setup gives me a lot more confidence pressing heavier.
For us basement gym people, these attachments are absolutely worth it IMHO. And for those that worry about Titan quality, the welds look pretty good and they came in packaged well too. My only minor gripes.. a part of the UHMW liner on one side side looks like it got a little chewed up by something before they packed it. Only cosmetic, works as designed so far. Also note that I have a Rogue setup so the bottom bolts do not line up perfectly. Ordering 1/2 bolts; that will secure the bottom hole asap although it is pretty tightly held in place by friction as is.
