I recommend anchoring into the concrete, as recommended by Titan. Not the fastest response, but it was free and I did end up with one free upright post that I now use for storage. I did receive one defective upright post, which took around a month to clear up with Titan’s customer service. Would recommend enlisting the help of a friend, but is doable solo. This is more of a minor annoyance, that I have since grown used to. It looks like their new iteration of the rack does have left and right swinging J-cups which is a nice improvement. The other downside, is that when I purchased the rack, the J-cups both swing the same way. It would be nice if the plastic liner covered the entire J-cup to avoid scratching the barbells on the occasional mis-rack. The exposed metal on the edges isn’t great, but that’s not a Titan specific problem. I’ve been using the Rogue Ohio Power Bar for over a year now and some of the J-Cup plastic lining is wearing, but should last many more years. The J-cups that come with the rack are pretty simple, I’ve had up to 525lbs on them without any issues. This represents amazing value, and is pretty much everything you’d need for a basic-intermediate rack setup. When you buy the T3, you get a pair of J cups, pin/pipe safeties, 4 band pegs and 4 rack mounted weight plate holders. With the free shipping, the lowest you can pay for the R-3 power rack is $748.87 INCLUSIONS You can’t mention the T3 without mentioning the Rogue R3, which has a base price of $695 and includes J-cups and pin/pipe safeties. As of July 2020, retail price for the T3 varies from $410 – $575 depending on the sizing options. I purchased mine in 2018, during the November sales, I paid $365 out the door.
