I had the dumbell spotters when i bought the TITAN,the only problem is you have to set them a little bit behind you so that you don`t hit them on the way down,which makes it awkward getting the dumbells into place.You feel like you have to press then pullover in one movement.Plus,when you put the dumbells back,you have to guide them perfectly into place or else you catch your hand on the spotters.You have to do this one side at a time,so as you put one side back you feel unbalanced.
