Deadlift Pulling Blocks

Name: Deadlift Pulling Blocks
Brand: Titan Fitness
Rating: 1.89 (3 reviews)

Titan Fitness’s Deadlift Pulling Blocks are a budget adjustable pulling-block pair built to elevate a loaded barbell between sets for fast plate changes, with an inverted-T base and a 51mm sleeve that clamps onto the bar via a locking knob. Four height settings from 13” to 17.5” cover deadlift, floor-press, and 18” strongman pull training, and the pair weighs 25 lb total (12.5 lb each) so it stores easily. Titan rates the pair to 1,300 lb, but independent reviewers who tested them found the retaining pin deforming and losing structural integrity well under that rating, and the flat-sided base tends to rotate and kick sideways on ground contact rather than settling flat – both issues forcing lifters to readjust their stance between reps. At roughly half the price of comparable branded pulling blocks, the value proposition holds only if the stability and pin-durability tradeoffs are acceptable; buyers who need a fixed, reliable pull height may be better served by solid alternatives like Wagon Wheel pulling blocks.

What is a Miscellaneou?

What’s in Miscellaneous

This is the catch-all for the conditioning tools and accessories that don’t fit a single equipment class — weighted vests and plate carriers, medicine and slam balls, plyo boxes, ab mats, and the odds and ends that round out a garage gym. Items land here because their job (loaded carries, jumps, core work) cuts across the categories rather than sitting neatly inside one.

Who it’s for

Anyone filling in the gaps around the big pieces. If you already have a rack, bar, and plates, this is where you find the vest for rucking and weighted push-ups, the ball for slams and wall throws, or the box for step-ups and box jumps. Match the tool to the training you actually do — a plate carrier for conditioning and rucking, plyo boxes for explosive work — rather than buying the whole shelf.

A budget adjustable pulling block that undercuts Rogue’s DC Blocks on price but not on reliability. Build quality is the weakest dimension: two independent reviewers found the retaining pin already deforming and elongating its hole after light use, well short of the advertised 1,300 lb rating, and one called it the piece of equipment he most regrets buying. Functionality is compromised the same way — the block’s flat base rotates on impact rather than settling flat, throwing off foot placement between reps and occasionally kicking into the lifter’s shins on heavier pulls. Versatility is real (four height settings from 13”–17.5” suit deadlifts, floor presses, and 18” strongman pulls), but forum consensus is that a set of solid rubber wagon wheels or simple wood/carpet blocks hold up better for the same money.

+Versatility: four adjustable height settings (13"-17.5") suit deadlifts, floor presses, Olympic lifts, and 18" strongman pull training (Titan Fitness product page)
+Functionality: compact 51mm sleeve locks onto the bar and only consumes 2" of sleeve space per side (Titan Fitness product page)
+Build quality: welds and overall fit/finish look solid on arrival, consistent with other Titan products (The Atlas Strength Shop, YouTube)
+Value: at $94.97 for the pair it is roughly half the price of comparable branded pulling blocks (The Atlas Strength Shop, YouTube; StrongFirst forum)

−Build quality: the retaining pin was already tearing through its hole and visibly warping after only a handful of uses, well under the advertised 1,300 lb capacity (The Atlas Strength Shop, YouTube)
−Durability: a second independent reviewer saw the same pin bending under repeated heavy pulls (405 lb) and noted the plastic collar piece looks cheap and likely to break over time (Carps Gym, YouTube)
−Functionality: the flat-sided base rotates and kicks forward or backward on ground contact, forcing a stance readjustment between reps and occasionally striking the lifter's shins (The Atlas Strength Shop, YouTube; Carps Gym, YouTube)
−Build quality: the bar-clamping screw/nut can dig into and mar a barbell's finish over repeated tightening (Carps Gym, YouTube)
−Durability: StrongFirst forum users describe Titan's line generally as a budget knockoff of Rogue's pricier DC Blocks, with one member switching back to simple wood blocks after finding pulling blocks like these inconvenient to stack and stow (StrongFirst forum)
