Quick-Lock Adjustable Dumbbell System 75 lb Set

The weights work and feel great. Really close to feeling like regular solid weights. I have noticed a few weights have some of the coating chip off though. I have been very careful not to drop or be rough with them, so I feel they should be a little more resilient.

Great feeling DBs! Knurling is fantastic, feel is that of a true DB, and the ability to go up to 165lbs is absolutely insane.
The stand isnt the best a little tight when changing weights, much easier to do that on the floor, but then you have weight plates all over the place and that alone can be a hazard. Telling how much weight is on there is not the easiest, but doable.
Pros: Durability, feel, knurling, and overall weight capacity. Solid build and warranty.
Cons: Availability, seeing how much weight is loaded, and adding/removing weight plates when in a rush.

Overall i prefer these over Powerblocks because I need more weight and enjoy the build of these with a real knurled handle. 4.3/5 stars

Best investment I made from 3 years ago and still is to this day. They are durable and reduce space in my garage. I notice that I and a lot of my clients prefer to place the dumbells back "the wrong way" after a set since it's the wide part of the stand reduces moment arm, especially when the dumbells are starting to get longer as more weight is added. It would be great if they made the stand wider. I'm also missing a pair of 5lbs for my Add On Kit 120lb when it first arrived at my place and I appreciate it if they could send me a pair of 5lbs for it. If I could take off half a star, I would. Overall it's a good product for various strengthening activities. They just need to make the stand wider

Better Choice Than Fixed Weight Dumbbell Set or Other Adjustable Dumbbell Brands When I first began planning out my home gym, having quality dumbbells was at the top of my list. I actually was dead set on purchasing a set of fixed dumbbells and was willing (although certainly not pleased) to spend the thousands of dollars necessary to do so. I knew that adjustable dumbbells existed but I had never used any. The only brand I was really aware of were the PowerBlock Elite Set Dumbell, 50-Pound (pair) but I detested the look of them. I wanted the feel and look of dumbbells that I would find at the gym and they definitely were not it. The only option, I felt at the time, were fixed weight dumbbells. Fortunately, I did my due diligence researching different dumbbells and gym equipment suppliers before pulling the trigger. During my research, I happened upon the IronMaster Dumbbells and saw they were very well-reviewed. Despite this, I was still set on purchasing fixed weight dumbbells. It wasn't until I began giving due consideration to the space I would have available in my basement gym after putting in a set of 5-100 lb dumbbells and the requisite dumbbell racks that I came back to Ironmaster. Then as I considered the other equipment I planned on getting, such as the excellent Inspire Fitness Ft2 Functional Trainer and Smith Station (Inspire FT2 (with Bench)) , it really sunk in that the price of fixed weight dumbbells were just not practical for home use. The IronMaster Dumbbells were the perfect solution. They feel just like regular dumbbells you will find at the gym but take up precious little space and are vastly more affordable than a fixed set of dumbbells with comparable weight range and increments. I am very pleased with my purchase. The weight change mechanism is very simple and I have no concerns about any of the weight plates becoming unattached while I am using them. The reason I gave them 4 stars rather than 5 is because locking and unlocking the screws is not always as simple as IronMaster would have you believe. Sometimes I have to work rather hard to get them locked into place. Unlocking them, at times, is even more difficult. I think this may have more to do with "technique" and I should note that the past few times I have used them, I have not had much of a problem. It may just be something you learn to do better with time. Nevertheless, I felt it was worth pointing out that it can be a bit challenging and for a brief period, I was thinking that maybe I would have to purchase a different brand of adjustable dumbbell. But again, this has been less of an issue recently and once the weights are locked in place, these things feel awesome. I strongly recommend the IronMaster dumbbells. Posted on Amazon.com

I'll probably never buy dumbells for the rest of my life These are pretty much a more elegant approach to standard adjustable dumbell. One of the best features about these is that it has the flat ends so you can rest these on your legs with out stabbing them with the handle rods of traditional adjustable dumbells. The materials are definitely high quality with no shaking of weights whatsoever. The stand is also a great addition to keeping my lifting area clean and its compact enough to take up about the same amount of space if i were to put these weights on the ground side by side. My only two complaint with these would be that the stand it ever so slightly too small. Its not that big of a deal but i wish i would be able to attach/detach weights from all sides of the stand. Not really that big of an issue. And the price but in all fairness you definitely get a premium and well thought out pair of dumbells with stand Posted on Amazon.com

Quality product, but not really a "quick lock" dumbbell Very solid construction and compact, but calling these ""quick lock"" and comparing them to the other adjustable dumbbells on the market isn't really accurate. These are quicker than spinlocks and as nearly as solid as commercial dumbbells, but take around 60 seconds to adjust the weight on both dumbbells compared to 10 seconds or less with other brands. What you get with these is a piece of equipment that you can load up to 165lbs on and then throw out a second story window without breaking anything (watch the torture tests). Personally, I think the only real advantage these have over spinlocks is they have a flat base for resting the weights on your thighs when doing press exercises. The quick lock system does not work as advertised; it is not just a quarter turn to lock them into place. It usually takes anywhere from 3/4 to 2 turns to lock the weights in place. On one of my dumbbells, I have to back the screw out about an 1/8 inch and then give it about 2 or 3 turns to lock it into place. This is the reason for my 4 star rating, other than that it's a top quality product - but I prefer Powerblocks for my home gym." Posted on Amazon.com

Great system, somewhat fragile threads. I have owned these since February 2016. This is my experience: The Good: They're great for versatility and you can change the weight on them pretty quickly. One thing I particularly liked is that the locking bolt is FLAT. Most folks will sit on the bench a minute to get pumped/concentrate before they actually lay down and start lifting....during this time they will set the weights on their upper thighs. On some of the other weight sets, this is not possible due to the end of the weights not being flat. This may seem small, but it mattered to me. Posted on Amazon.com

Cheaper from iron master website Posted on Amazon.com

Very nice set. All that I expected it would be Very nice set. All that I expected it would be. Quick change, but only improvement would be to have the table top larger to make for easier changeover of the plates. Posted on Amazon.com

A good buy for anyone serious enough to use them... In my opinion these are the best available adjustable dumbbells on the market right now. I have used them for a few years and I have had a chance to use quite a few other mainstay brands that offer adjustable dumbbells. Ironmaster takes the crown. These dumbbells are sturdy, lock in place securely, are accurate in weight measurement, have a small footprint, and are durable enough for everyday use. One thing I am unsure about is the small platform to put the DBs on after using the add-on kit. If you load your DBs up pretty heavy and then go to put them back on the stand you have to be careful and focused. The ironmaster dumbbells will also never be as convenient as have a full set of dumbbells at your disposal. Forget the hyper quick grab and go or rapid drop set procedure, not going to happen no matter how quickly you can change the weight plates. There is always going to be that time in between sets where you're changing plates, etc...but some might use that as a proper rest period. For me this process has actually been pretty therapeutic and helped me to separate sets uniformly as it relates to time. I would buy these again given their price, build quality, and ease of use.

great set this is a great set so far but the only problem I have with the set is that the weights them self's look cheep. don't get me wrong in my opinion they are a great set of dumb bells and I do slam them on the ground(not to hard) and some of the paint has chipped off. but for this kind of money I expected better quality weights but over all love them. Posted on Amazon.com

great product except.... This is probably the best design adjustable dumbbell in the world so far. The only thing I hv negative comment is the quality of the plates. I receive one that is not molded properly. The circle part is not crafted properly and so it cannot fit into another plate. Also the paint work of the plate is cheaply done, some started peeling off on day one. Posted on Amazon.com

Chuckster This is an excellent set of dumbbells! It's a little time consuming to change the weight but at least its 100% safe unlike my concern with the other dumbbell sets I've had, where a weight may come loose and whack you in the head, lol... Posted on Amazon.com

5 Star Bench / 4 Star Weights i got the dumbbell / bench combination off the ironmaster website, where it is cheaper i believe. here is a combo review, you can skip to the part about the weights if not interested in the bench. on the bench you need to know if you want to do any decline exercises you'll need the situp attachment for your legs, otherwise it's just a straight decline board and you'll slip off. however, on the website they'll have a combination for your combination where for less than it would cost to get all three you can add: -the situp attachment (good, but the padding on the part where your legs comes into contact is a little light, if you weigh over 200lbs it is going to be a little uncomfortable if you are doing almost upside down exercises (which you can do w/ this bench). i'd like to see them improve this or offer more padded pads) -the pullup bar attachment (awesome idea, nearly awesome execution. i really like it. i'm 6'1" and if i reach up i can just grasp while almost on my toes the top of the bar on its highest setting. if you're doing really hard and swinging pullups / chins you might need to slow down not to wobble it excessively but it is clearly sturdy enough to suffice for the job) -the dip attachment (i don't like dips, but if you lay your body against the bottom of the bar underneath the bench (actually on the bar underneath that supports it, which actually is oddly comfortable) and tilt the bench upright a little you can do "australian pullups", which you can't do any other way so i like this attachment) so the bench is awesome. more awesome than i thought or expected and i thought it'd be good. i've been working out over a decade and a half and played DI athletics and find this to be an awesome bench. i can do any exercise at whatever angle i want. i slightly decline my dumbbell press and flys, i can go upside down (literally) and do triceps like i'm doing tricep pulldowns (but in reverse since w/ dumbbells), i can do hanging abs off the pullup bar and then go exact opposite and do upside down situps (that otherwise would require gravity boots), i can put it at an incline and standup and lean against it and do two arm rows to get the back (like i was doing a cable row), and anything else you'd normally think of or just want to tweak a little to get right in your exercise. plus i can do it quick and don't have some guy (or gal) waiting to use the bench. and even more awesome i can just do 30mns whenever i want and if i'm tired quit which allows me to be more consistent as opposed to all the effort it required to get ready, go to the gym, use my locker, and reverse all that when i was done which would probably be 30mns just to do that and i'd feel like i had to keep going even if i was tired. it's much better to do small lifting consistently (and you'll dread it less / actually enjoy it if you have the time) than long lifting sessions inconsistently. so the bench is awesome (it does require a wrench as another reviewer mentioned to assemble), i store it in the flat position and put it upright in my closet and it goes in just fine. finally the "body solid nylon adjustable cable handle" is an awesome addition to the bench. if you put a cable handle (the inside of the nylon triangle) on each side of the pullup bar or dip bar you can now use a neutral grip to do chinups etc. (at first i was disappointed there was no neutral grip but this solved that problem and the seam of the handles holds your body weight just fine).

you can come up with. i've used the power block weights before and hated hated them (it is too tight and jams your arm / wrists when you are doing exercises, doesn't feel right). i've also used the bowflex dumbbells. it was awhile back but here are the pros and cons i remember on them compared to these weights bowflex weight pros: -quicker to change (using the "dial") than ironmaster -small footprint and takes up less space than ironmaster w/ all its extra plates sitting around bowflex weight cons: -can't throw them around or they will break and be unusable -look cheap and plastic looking ironmaster pros: -you can use the weights like a "perfect pushup" and do pushups on them (i really like this) -they look good and feel good and solid, just like weights in the gym -if you get the combo cause you wanted the bench anyway i think the added cost of the dumbbells is significantly less than the bowflex 90lb dumbbells (i think it is about the same w/ the bench for the ironmaster 75lb dumbbells as the bowflex 50lb dumbbells) -very durable. you can throw these around (even according to manufacturer) and you can tell you'll be ok -very solid system, i have no worry about a plate falling on me if i have tightened the weight, the bowflex i could see a weight potentially falling on me, maybe just because you don't get to confirm how that system locks ironmaster cons: -takes longer to change and it is annoying, i found i just choose similar weights for exercises and group together ones that use the same weight to keep it quick. but with that and for the other advantages it is bearable i'd still get the ironmaster dumbbells over the bowflex dumbbells as the ironmasters excel over the bowflex in every aspect (and have some bowflex doesn't) except for change time and you can work around that some. plus other reviewers seem to prefer the ironmasters. that's the info.

Good product, but be aware of the cheaper alternatives These are great adjustable dumbbells. The ONLY disadvantage is the relatively slow change time compared to something like Powerblock, but that's well known and can be weighed (don't mind the pun!) against the advantages of solid construction, feel and the free stand. However the videos on the site are a bit misleading. And I think IM's are not THAT much better than cheap spinlocks with regular plates. They are faster to change but not that much faster, its the same basic principle with the fancy Quicklock system. If you have the money go for it. But a lot of people get seduced by the idea of adjustables, esp the crappy Bowflex Selecttech. Then they find out about the real alternatives - Ironmaster and Powerblock. And all this time they aren't even aware of the cheap as dirt spinlocks. You can buy handles and weight plates as and when you need them, even used plates. They are just as solid as the IM's.

Ironmaster Vs. Powerblock from someone who owns BOTH After years of collecting the old standard hex dumbells, and trying to maintain a home gym in the city in various apartments (usually in the common basement) I found the PowerBlock dumbells. For someone without a dedicated room (with lots of space) for their workout equipment, these are fantastic dumbells. They go up to 85 or 90lbs without the add-on kit, and they are super fast and easy to change the weight. They are pricey, but considering the amount of dumbells they replace, well worth it, for the right user. After using the PowerBlock setup for a couple years I came across IronMaster, another brand with adjustable dumbells. They go to 75lbs without the add-on kit, and cost a little less than the PowerBlock dumbells. I have BOTH in my home gym now, and I will go over the pros and cons of each for those of you trying to decide on a set up like this. PowerBlocks: Pros: Well made, comfortable grip, fast and easy to change the weight in 10lb increments, nice stand included, made in USA, ability to go up to 85-90lbs as is, and 120lbs with add-on. Excellent for exercises where you change weight quickly or frequently. Square dumbells don't roll. Cons: Funky design with 4 pillars around your hand/wrist. It works, but it makes me nervous at higher weights that if I were to drop them I could somehow catch my wrist in there and hurt myself. Difficult to quickly switch weights in increments smaller than 10lbs. This is a problem for many exercises. Although they are sturdy, and have never given out on me, they rattle and the plates move a little when you use them. Again, they seem sturdy but when doing shoulder or bench press it's a little disconcerting. You need to make sure the magnetic pins are fully inserted and in the right spot or disaster could ensue. The dumbells get long when using a lot of weight which can be somewhat awkward for certain exercises. Overall: These dumbells are best for exercises where you change the weight frequently, or quickly, and work best for non-press exercises in my experience. The add-on kit is a nice option, but the dumbells are already pretty long at 85-90lbs, so it may be impractical for a lot of exercises. They were the first of their kind, they are still a serious contender in this ring. IronMaster: Pros: Well Made. More traditional looking & feeling dumbells. Up to 75lbs as is, and 125lbs with kit. Not as long as PowerBlocks, no awkward pillars to stick your hand in between. Nice stand included. Great bench and other accessories available (better than PowerBlock bench after using both). No rattling or moving of plates when in use. Sturdy and well balanced and made in USA. Excellent for press exercises. Just as quick to change the weight in 2.5lb or 5lb increments as it is by 10lbs or more. Cons: Takes significantly longer to change the weight than PowerBlocks. For press exercises I find this to be less of an issue, but for curls and other quick change exercises it's a bit of a pain. No locking mechanism for the screw in pins. This has never been an issue, or caused a dumbell to fall apart during use, but there's no locking mechanism (or magnet such as PowerBlocks) just friction preventing the pin from unscrewing. I'm not too worried about it, but it has crossed my mind. Overall: These dumbells are best for users who use higher weights for press exercises and want the traditional look and feel of a dumbell you might find in the gym. They don't rattle or move, and are very solid. They also go higher in weight than the PowerBlocks with the add-on kit, and cost less. Not as good for users using ligher weight and requiring quick changes. Conclusion: For me, having both pairs is a pretty good set up, but If I were to choose just one, I would stick with the IronMaster. I like them for their sturdiness and lack of rattling especially when using heavy weight. In addition to the IronMaster, I would buy a cheaper set of adjustable dumbells with a lower maximum weight (50lbs maybe) that could be easily adjusted in 5lb (or smaller) increments to use for curls and kickbacks etc...and stick with the IronMaster for the heavier weights, where I really don't mind the extra minute of rest to change the weight! In fact, I think I will sell my PowerBlocks and get a set up like this, and have some money left over for Muscle Milk! :) P.S. the IronMaster adjustable bench is the BEST I have used!
