Loadable Globe Barbell Reviews

4.5 Rating 8 Reviews

Add this loadable globe barbell to your arsenal for more challenging benches, curls, deadlifts, and squats. The hollow globe design can be loaded up to 109 LB with lead shot or sand if desired. The more you fill your barbell, the more difficult your workout will be. Load your barbell with the convenient fill plugs, then tighten the removable endcaps in seconds. The endcaps stay securely in place, so you never have to worry about loose debris escaping your bar mid-workout. Built with rugged steel and coated with a tough rust-resistant gloss, this bar is made for year-round outdoor and indoor use.

“The barbell itself is well made. It replicates an axel version of the Milo Duplex Bar. I wish Titan would make a rackable version (add 4-5 inches to the handle) with larger globes. Starting weight as 45 pounds.”

“This barbell is well made and a great addition to my home gym. I like the thick grip and i find it a big plus. It's a nice looking/conversational piece of equipment. I don't recommend using sand or water to fill the globes. I filled my globes with stainless steel BBs, 1/4", though you can us any size BB. You don't have to worry about rust or clumping. The cost of loading the barbell to it's maximum is a factor and if you want to adjust the weight down in the future is problematic.”

“Awesome fun piece of equipment to use. I add bands and or chains to it. Add water don’t fill it up and it’s great for imbalance which will help to work and strengthen stabilizers. Has alot of great benefits and can be used for everybody part. It’s also a solid quality piece of equipment”

“I couldn’t find anywhere what weight it could get to. Mine weight 24 pounds empty and loaded with 7 1/2 lead shot it is almost full at 125 pounds. So not bad! I do wish there were marks for the center and maybe at the quarter areas as well”

“the actual construction is solid but other than looking cool I'm finding it hard to find a real application. I can't get it heavy enough for a good work out. that said it looks awsome and for the price it's not a total loss. my kids get a kick out of it.”

“I had been looking for a "old-time strong-man" style bar for awhile - they just look cool, ya know? Got lucky and found this item from Titan. Not only does it look great, but the loadable globes make it very flexible for using varying weights for all different kinds of exercises and progressions (I like using this best for side presses and waiter walks). Really well made, and easy to keep it looking like new - just wipe down with the same 3-in-1 oil I use for my barbell. Even when not using it, it looks super-cool at rest next to my kettlebells in the garage gym. At the price this is a steal. Thank you Titan for offering this unique product!”

“This product was my first order from Titan. I tend to over review everything before I buy. A lot of the reviews I had read talked very poorly about the shipping and the condition the product was in when it arrived. After going back and forth in my head over getting this I finally decided I am just going to go for it and give it a shot. I am truly very pleased I did! The product showed up very fast, actually a day earlier than estimated. Even during this crazy covid time we are in. The box was in perfect shape and was actually shrink wrapped in plastic. After getting the plastic off the box, there were 4 straps going around the box that had tape over the top of them as well! So the packing was actually exceptional! After getting the product out of the box, I absolutely fell in love! The construction was great! The threads on the caps were great, and screwed in and out very nicely! And the finish was great! 5 stars without a doubt! I will definitely be ordering a lot more from Titan! P.s. just a tip on filling the globes. Lead shot is really expensive, and I really don't like sand, and it's hard to get the weight exact on both sides. So what I did was fill them with Penny's! If you put $100 worth of Penny's in it, it coast you nothing because you still have your $100!”

“Titan had told me prior to arrival the end caps (NOT the fill-bolts) are threaded but the bar isn't hollow and can't be filled. Turns out,... Mine arrived missing one endcap, but after the headache of loading wet sand in the globes, I'm not in the mood to look into permanent end caps (welded? 1.5" bolt for 1.75" bar?l to hold in more sand. I didn't weigh this before loading; with chains on homedepot hangall velcro straps, on a spring bathroom scale, my best guesses are 130lbs, under 80lbs chains, so something over 50lbs with globes packed with wet sand. East of the Rockies I think all packaged sand will be wet; I tried to coat the insides of the globes with motor oil, topped it off for bad measure; no idea what rust will do but I'm remindef of having to blow out compressor tanks after each use, so who knows. The cool thing about packing wet sand with your index finger is it instantly dulls the impressive gloss coating on tje globes, but a quick orbital polish should help a lot. Otherwise, you're saving over $200 - $400 on any other option I've seen online, for a bar that feels exactly as you'd imagine. I fit somewhere between 30 and 40 lbs of sand; if you feel like welding metal end caps you can put a lot more in the bar. Even at the disgusting $1.50\lb for reclaimed shot, I'd strongly suggest loading it instead; no mess, it will pour, and it's a lot easier to gauge the weight you're loadind, and theoretically it's reversible. It's worth the heavy metal poisoning to keep the high gloss finish.”
