Yeah I have prob 5 sets of the spin lock and 500lbs In plates between 2.5-25s but I can’t stand changing them constantly.Was gonna buy a set 5-100 but the iron masters grabbed my attention.Space reasons and convenience I guess.

You won't regret the purchase.

Lifetime guarantee on the product as well.

Yeah that lifetime guarantee is pretty much gonna seal the deal,I think.

If you're patient, somebody's usually moving a set.

use searchtempest to search all the craigslists and ebay, etc at once in your area code.  Just put in how many miles you're willing to travel and you can usually find a set.

I've got a range and really like just grabbing and going. Fuck having to load and unload. That would get old real quick.

That sounds like some $ anyway. I'd just go with standard dbs.

I had some ironmasters. I liked them at first, but honestly, the adjustment, fast as it is, is still too slow. I never adjusted them mid workout. Ended up "donating" them to my friends brother.

It’s easy once you get the hang of it.  Takes a minute maybe.

I have them. I have the add on to 120 a piece.   What I did was buy dumbbells from 5-40 lbs and then use the iron masters for 50+ lbs each.  I like being able to quickly super set the smaller weights and not always swap out plates.

A friend had Powerblocks that were out of warranty and had a part break. They quickly sent him a new handle. Sounds like a good company.

That's not long at all.  I would not give mine away for that like ceph.

It's quick to put plates together and spin the locks.  Nothing is quicker than power blocks.

Ceph is generous to a fault, apparently.

But there's a groove in the handle that you need to line up to drop the lock in easily.....I never knew it, and it was a pain in the ass.

Maybe he never found it, lol.

haha i did... i probably just have less patience. plus i didn't have a great home gym. if i had a good home gym but not enough space for a decent dumbbell rack, i would have kept them.
