Bought on Amazon but was actually $25 cheaper on the Titan website so that sucked. Mine weighs 77lbs just like the description. Feels solid and heavy. This dumbbell has gotten a lot of bad reviews but mine is built awesome! welds are decent looking and the dumbbell is straight. But...the handle is somewhat short. Which has been a complaint. Bruises my inner forearm every time I use it. Not a huge thing but it happens. It's a fun item to have but for over $125+ might be something last to buy. Read more
The handle is way too short, it's going to bruise the forearm and compromise technique for the motion every time. Also, the actual bells are made out of cheap steel so they were made too long to get the weight where it needs to be meaning you can't get in the proper position to press this overhead. Save your money and buy a different dumbbell, this just sits in the corner of our gym taking up space now Read more
Had this for a good while now, I’m sure we all heard the rumors about bad titan fitness stuff, but this is my only piece i have of theirs and it’s great. Holds 10lbs Olympic plates or smaller. Read more
Very pleased! Works well with plates I already had. Read more
Summary: Overall, I highly recommend this dumbbell. This thing is massive and is very heavy duty. The steel is thick and the welds seem pretty good. Pros: 1. The price can't be beat. For $130 with tax and shipping the Titan dumbbell is about 1/2 the price of any other circus dumbbell I could find. 2. The steel is very thick (7/32") and I have no worries about it warping from dropping. I was worried because I had read that the 12" Circus dumbbells had very thin steel around the bells. This may be true for the 12" but I can attest that the 10" does not have that problem. 3. The dumbbells have a secondary safety which consists of a bolt with a large washer which screws into the end of the plate loading sleeve. It is not as secure as a full cap, but it is better than nothing. Since the pipe is already tapped for a screw it would certainly be possible to have full size end caps laser cut to fit. Cons: 1. The handle is very short and the body of the bell will make contact with your wrist. I have heard this is not uncommon for circus dumbbells, but I did have to wrap my wrist wraps lower than normal to avoid bruising my wrists. 2. The shipping was fast, but the packaging was pretty bad. The 77lb dumbbell was just sent in a normal thickness cardboard box with no additional padding. It arrived pretty banged up and there were some spots where the powder coating had been scratched. Almost all of my orders from Titan have arrived with some scratches so just keep that in mind when you order. 3. The included collars are pretty much garbage. They are very basic screw collars and I wouldn't trust them to hold the weights in place. On the plus side, my normal Rogue HG collars work just fine. Read more
