🔥Limited SALE & Machine: bit.ly/4cIZ1gJ Ironmaster is having one of their very limited sales events right now for 4 days only on EVERYTHING which is why I held off a bit on releasing this review once I got wind of it. This review really was motivated by my subscribers who passionately kept telling me to check out IronMaster and their diverse product line, which obviously includes their popular adjustable dumbbells. I'm not getting this stuff for free, but if there's else you really want me to review in the future from their line up, let me know!
Have this bench myself as well as the preacher curl attachment, the ab attachment, the leg extension, and the dip bar attachment, holds very sturdy under load, I'm 225 and benched 245 on a steep incline and it didn't flinch, works great for seated military press also, the ab attachment works well at any degree, I have 0 complaints , take care and God bless 🙌🏻
@@ericfallabel9201 if I didn’t have the leg curl attachment already I definitely would consider that as well if I was first buying this bench. Great to hear you’re loving it though.
To me the attachments make this the bench of choice. Being able to do almost all the exercises you need to in one small space is nothing short of amazing. And heavy duty too. I'm ordering mine right now.
Good video. Thanks. The idea of using it as an inversion table is interesting. I’ve had an actual inversion table and not sure it’s a great option for tall, big guys. I’m also over 200lbs and 6’2”. With the inversion table, you hang by your ankles and it puts a lot of load and strain on your ankles and lower legs. With my weight, the load was hard and it started to cause me pain so I returned it. With this setup, it seems like the load might be better distributed between your ankles knees and leg bones. This might be better. I’m waiting to see if there’s a Black Friday sale, but I’m definitely getting this bench. The versatility and apparent build quality make for a value that’s hard to beat in this segment. Thanks for the all the info.
So I ended up buying the super bench and very happy I did! One of the superior things about this bench is how good the attachments are. Also for anyone looking around the iron master website has bundle deals that I highly recommend, I got the bench and two attachments for about 700.
I've had the Super Bench Pro v1 for three years along with the leg attachment, and dip bar and love it. The weakest point is the tiny seat. I'm tall, thin, and ripped (very low body fat) and I find it uncomfortable - it's probably much worse for those who have a much larger frame. If they upgraded the seat i'd buy it immediately.
The core components in my gym are this bench, an Ohio power bar, 2 BoS cable towers for a half rack, and the ironmasters cable tower. Throw in some adjustable dumbbells and your favorite piece of cardio equipment, and you are practically done. You should probably look into the Ironmasters cable tower. It is very compact, on wheels, and has a 250 pound capacity. I added the seat to keep it as a dedicated station, but you could roll in out, attach it to the bench, and then roll it away when you are done. It is a very nice piece of equipment that has flown under the radar. Just wait for the black Friday sale.
@@zh4k Not tall enough to get full stretch, not the same weight capacity, not as stable, no comfortable way to lock your legs in. The BoS towers could work in a pinch, but if you have roughly 4 extra square feet and 500 bucks, buy the ironmasters tower, too, for a dedicated lat station.
@@balboa0621 Thanks for the info, so how good is ironmasters black friday deal, I can wait until then if its better than the current 18% that makes the bench 400 total
@@zh4k they run bundles and then stack a discount on top of it. I think with it all together, I got 33% off my ironmasters set up. It's a great deal but I would also recommend the optional foot plate for the cable tower for low rows.
I love the Ironmaster equipment, I had the older model of superbench and was great,super solid plus many great attachments,the leg extension/curl in my opinion is the best on the market for home gym equipment and had quite few different benches. I would like to have the newest model , it's lower plus reshaped pad looks awesome.
@@loulopez554 thanks Lou. As I said in the video, it was really wasn’t something I was that interested in, now it’s one of my top favorite pieces in my gym.
Had a feeling you would like it it's the one coop has and that's impressive considering he's seen it all. I've always liked that IM 2000 smith machine would probably get the whole eco system it's only limitations really on IM2000 no double wide pulley stack and the pulley starts at the smith bar's weight
@@buddyryan875 I agree that definitely is a big plug for sure. Like a lot of things in this space I try to avoid things that are too hyped up, but I think this is for sure is an exception.
Best bench money can buy! So glad you picked this up, ironmaster really does make amazing equipment, I’ve got most of their catalogue and highly recommend.
@@hybridresistance hard to pick a favourite tbh as all so good and versatile. The bench and dumbbells were one of the first things I got for my home gym over 4 years ago when I was restricted working out in my family living room during Covid lockdowns. They will always be pretty special in a personal level, but I also really love the IM2000 and ultimate row handle is a must cable attachment. I just really rate their equipment, it’s made to last and so well thought out for the home gym environment.
For the people that own one, how does the 45 degree incline feel when benching? It looks like it might be a little awkward with how the seat is also going to be at an angle.
I am wondering and nobody seems to have tried this (on their videos): Can you take the seat in the very last insertion point, flip it by 90 degrees and just make the bench longer/store the seat this way? Attachment options are nice, a homegym in an appartment does not offer storage for those attachments though...
IronMaster has really knocked it out of the park with this bench for sure!! Just wish it was a little more affordable. I feel like the Keppi Bench 5000 is the best value choice for most people that I've been able to find unless you're trying to go all-in on the IronMaster ecosystem and want that versatility, but man it'll be one expensive "bench" at that point 😆. Have you checked out the Keppi bench? Would be really cool to see a review of the Keppi and comparison to this! It just seems like such a good deal given the features and price.
@@killerkhatiby009 thank you for that comment. I actually did just discover that a couple weeks ago either looking online or I saw it solicited to me in an email for review. Hearing you talk so good about it makes me want to look into it.
@@hybridresistance Yea definitely check it out!! Based on the price, features, specs, and design it seems to compete with high end options at around half the price. I've really only seen positive feedback from people that bought it and posted on social media. Highly considering it as my next bench, personally just wish it had a squared off wide pad (around 12") design that's becoming more standard rather than the split 3-pad design. But at least the zero-gap feature is nice. They've got a FREE100 discount code right now that takes $18 off too. Lowest price I've ever seen it.
great review mike. this and a set of dumbbells and you’re pretty much set! does it have any good attachment hook points for resistance bands? did you play with that at all? keep up the great work mike!
I have version 1, wish I’d waited for v2 with the extra height of seat, but work around with yoga block works, but as coup says really versatile bench and space saving
I am 59 years old and I have to stop dreaming, been a diabetic for over 35 years and high blood pressure since I have been 13 years old. I did keto and carnivore for over 2 years, finally have my blood pressure and sugar controlled . This victoza drug I’m on with small amount of insulin, do have my blood sugar between 4-6 but it do deplete your muscles and I have been using x3 to help me build muscle. Don’t think I will ever get like you but it is good to dream since I have been fat my whole life. I started to take my life seriously when my right eye retina detached during COVID , had to surgeries and was able to save it somewhat. Started March 2022 weighing 220 lbs now I’m about 178 lbs . I was really hoping x3 would get it off the fat . Keep up your training so you don’t end up like me . I’m a failure.
Brother definitely don't be so hard on yourself. Sounds like you've had some setbacks for sure, but I'm seeing some success as well. Just keep doing what you're doing and experimenting with other tools rather than just hanging your hat on x3. Not saying it won't work for you, but even I who has many videos on it (positive and negative) only use it for a few things. At the end the day your workouts should be a sustainable way to move your body. Keep searching for what you enjoy and what works for you. I'll pray for you none the less.
It is a very good bench. I have it and a Rep AB-5200, and I don't use the Rep nearly as much. I like Rep's for competition style bench because its a tank, but I find myself using the IM for just about everything else because it's so light and easy to manipulate.
Update on the maxiclimber please. I'd like to know how you like it for day to day. I like the idea of jumping on for quick sprints to get the heart rate up, seems like it'd be great for this and to fatigue the overall body in a shorter amount of time than say an assault bike or rower
@@eheheh3263 those are Hoka shoes. I got them mostly for walking/running but find them incredibly comfortable overall. I usually purchase zero drop shoes so these are definitely an exception to what I normally would buy.
Unfortunately no. It just got pushed out of the rotation. Doesn't mean I won't still break it out sometime. I actually have a few things (such as my Echo Bike) that I thought I'd never not use that other machines pushed out.
I'm 6'. At the time of making this video I never would have even thought about the seat being a problem until people were commenting about it. I still don't have an issue with it whatsoever. But I also just naturally don't use it that much.
what is your height (if you don't mind please)? Great review ands ome of the other comments have me wondering how comfortable it may be. I'm 6' and 198 lbs.
I loved my pro v2 bench, but the seat was problematic for me. I really need more than a thong to sit on. Also my pants would often get caught on the seat and drag it out. In the end I burned my wallet in frustration and got a blackwing

I just picked up an extra handle and set of wheels, game changer.

Is your head going over the pad in the sit up position can’t really because of the camera angle
For the people that own one, how does the 45 degree incline feel when benching? It looks like it might be a little awkward with how the seat is also going to be at an angle.
Just adding honest my 2 cents (again this was not sent free for review). I think it feels totally fine and I sometimes don't even put the seat on.

Would love to hear your thoughts about the front foot post being wide, not like the skinny three leg post design. Any issues with that?
I honestly didn't really notice that, so issues for me at least.
I just wish they had a leg press like the powertec bench. Otherwise such a cool bench.
@@joseppebatman I wouldn’t be surprised if they’re working on that.
Is the very old super bench non pro worth it
I had the classic super bench. The pad is too narrow for bench.pressing. The pro one seems better 😉
Can you review some resistance band apps or/and weight lifting apps?
Yes, I can look into that. I'm definitely not an app person for workouts, but it makes sense if you guys are using them.
does anyone know what the sale price was? seems the sale is over and I'm debating buying a used one but don't want to pay more than the sale price.
It was 18% cheaper than the current price listed.

I do think resistance is resistance, but I personally would use some other modes alongside to compliment the x3's weak points.
