Ironmaster Vs. Powerblock from someone who owns BOTH Mar 03, 2009
By BlackSCRunner 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!

Minor flaws, but these are the best of what's available Jun 11, 2010
By Brain Drain Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R1LB7TUAP544RI 4 stars......not perfect, but probably as good as it's ever going to get, and definitely better than the competition.

The best. Aug 22, 2006
By . These dumbells lock up as tight as solid gym DBs, so they can be used safely and quietly for explosive work like full-body swings. They have perfectly proportioned handles that comfortably accommodate one and two-handed work, and compact square plates that are heavier than they look. Asymetrical loading for leverage work is easy and stable. The wide, flat inner permanent collars and big, flat-head, quick-lock pins make them comfortable in many positions not possible with other models: Horizontally and vertically, they're stable on the floor, and the ends can be held with palms up, between feet, knees, thighs for a great variety of movements. They're not as quick-change as Bowflex/Nautilus,(whose handles stay very long even at the lightest weights), or PowerBlocks,(whose cage-like handles are weird, uncomfortable, and technically limiting), but they're the quickest of the serious DBs and the most serious DBs of any adjustable models./// 2010 EDIT: After over four years, these dbs look & perform as brand new. (My PowerBlocks were a mess after a few weeks: scraped paint, bent connector rods, damaged adjustment fork.) ONE SUGGESTION: Since these are more suitable for heavy work than other similar products, how about designing a model that -begins- at 20-25 lbs?, the lightest that many men ever use. The permanent plate could be built bit higher than the add-on plates, to allow easy plate-changing while the db is on the floor.

The best dumbbells! Oct 10, 2006
By BlackBeltDude I have had the Ironmaster adjustable dumbbells in my home gym for about 2 years now. They are much stronger than the others out there and lock up tight to feel like regular dumbbells at the health club and take up very little room. It takes a little bit of time to make a change, but it is way worth the effort. The stand is super strong too. I have been weight training for over 20 years and been to all the big gyms and tried just about everything for the home gym. Since I had a small space to deal with at home I only have a few items in my gym. With a good set of dumbells (these) and a good bench you can do just about everything you need for bodybuilding. You won't be dissapointed!

Compatibility is a plus Jul 21, 2007

A quick cost analysis (per dumbell):
Ironmaster 75lb at $224.5 = $3 per pound (increments in 2.5lb) includes pedestal stand, expandable to 125lb Turbobells 60lb at $150 = $2.5 per pound (increments in 2.5lb) includes tripodlike stand, not expandable Bowflex 52.5lb at $189.5 = $3.6 per pound (increments in 5lb) includes weight tray, not expandable Powerblock 60lb at $184.5 = $3.1 per pound (increments in 5lb) No stand, not expandable VersaBell 50lb at $131.5 = $2.63 per pound (increments in 10lb) includes weight tray, not expandable
One major advantage of Ironmaster is that it has 1-inch holes which will fit standard 1-inch threaded weight bars including the spin-lock ez-curl bars. So you can easily turn dumbells into barbells.
