It’s a Bird… It’s a Plane… It’s an Ironmaster SuperBench!
Spend any time owning a garage gym, and you will eventually realize that space is king. You can always make more money to grab that next item, but space is often limited until you move, which for some of us is a never gonna happen thing. Having items that pack a punch, can get more things done in the same amount of space, and offer a ton of additional functionality over standard offerings is where garage gyms start to really evolve and often look different than a commercial gym. I can’t think of anyone doing that better (or for longer) than Ironmaster.
Ironmaster Adjustable Dumbbells
I’ve been lifting at home for close to a decade. What has been interesting is watching items come in, and out, of popularity over the years. Things have been the hot ticket item, only to completely disappear from discussion 6 months later. But you know what hasn’t? The Ironmaster Adjustable Dumbbells. These things were the hot ticket item when I was first looking to build a garage gym for their space saving abilities, true to form dumbbell feel, rock solid construction that could be dropped and beat up, and more. They were one of the few options for adjustables that went over 100 pounds, and they were often touted as the ONLY suitable option for serious at home lifters.
Ironmaster Super Bench
Then they had their Super Bench. In my opinion, an adjustable bench needs to start off as a high functioning flat bench. Then it needs to be a high functioning adjustable bench in the decline and incline settings. And finally, it needs to take attachments like a leg curl/extension attachment. These are the priorities IN THAT ORDER. There are VERY few adjustable benches on the market that do all three. Most struggle to tackle number 1 and 2. But the Ironmaster Super Bench was doing this a LONG time ago, and still kicks most adjustable benches butts in every aspect.
Ironmaster Super Bench Pro V2
What was crazy to me, was that the original Super Bench was a very solid bench offering. Then Ironmaster did what most companies don’t do, and they listened to their customers. Ironmaster built the Super Bench Pro V2 based on feedback from the home gym community to improve on an already incredible offering.
This Ironmaster Super Bench Pro V2 handles Flat, Incline, Decline, and FULL upright positions with 11 adjustable options in total. Lazer etched adjustment numbers for each so you can be sure you get the right setting each time. The bench has the HYBRID width pad, which is amazing for two purposes. For gyms with different sized athletes, a wide pad can be troublesome for basic movements like bench. With the dual options, you now have one bench that fits everyone. Additionally, some accessory options do better with a thinner pad. Think row variations as a good example. Less bench means less in the way, more ability for your arms to move how they should.
The V2 version includes a handful of other improvements over the V1 Pro, which on its own has a number of improvements over the original Ironmaster Super Bench… which I thought was an awesome bench!
Attachments
Not only is the bench a fantastic bench, it takes a HUGE assortment of accessories. Leg extensions and curls, dips, pull-ups, cable tower, preacher curl, back extensions… This thing is a BEAST. All of that breaks down and stores away easily, meaning you could seemingly stow it away in a closet. Add in a set of their adjustable dumbbells that can exceed 100lbs EACH and you have a full fledged gym with an endless amount of accessories and options in a small package. Seriously, this one package could open up endless accessory options for you.
Ironmaster keeps listening to their customers and producing quality equipment specifically for the home gym market. As a long time customer and ambassador for the company, I am STOKED to have them on board this year for the Garage Gym Competition once again.
