On the Super Bench Pro v2, you can use the new third slot in the middle of the bench to insert the seat pad and have a backrest. You have to lean back a bit but it works.
Thank you for another great video on Ironmaster products. They won me over as a customer with the Super Bench and attachments I have been using for many years. I may finally take the leap to add the IM2000 this year. I really enjoy the tips and hacks to get even more exercise variations out of each piece of equipment.
Thanks so much! I’m glad to hear you are happy with their products too! The IM 2000 has been an excellent addition to my gym. If / when you get it, I hope you like it as much as I do.
Awesome overview! I was wondering if I could use the crunch attachment for lat pulldowns and am really glad you confirmed it!

Can’t wait for more videos in this series!
Thanks so much! Yeah, I’ve noticed that with a lot of companies. For example, the Titan Seated Leg Curl went from $500 to $650. Unfortunately, it’s costing businesses more money to do business.
Just got my V2 bench with most of the attachments. Loving it so far, big upgrade over my old bench and fits mine and my wife's needs. Big thumbs up on both the quality over all. However I do feel the instructions aren't the best, just good enough.
God bless I swear I feel like you’re speaking for us who are overwhelmed by choice. lot of other people like me out there. struggling with this especially with all the Choices in online world 🌎 Thank you for sharing
You are right. There are a lot of choices and a lot of good companies making good products. Depending on your goals, most people start with a power rack, adjustable bench, and a barbell and then build from there.
I have an updated UA-cam Short with a bunch of additional exercises for the Sit Up Attachment - I think with the versatility it offers, the Sit Up Attachment is my favorite IM SBP Attachment.
Another amazing video Ive been adding to my home gym in my basement recently and even with hours of searching gym equipment for months now, i have never seen this ironmaster unit before, what a versatile peice of equipment When you pulled out the band dips it made me realize i should give that a try when doing dips for pec minor/scapular depression on my vertical knee raise - i usually do thirty reps so no need for added resistance although when i do i resort to ankle weights As a subscriber for many reasons, one of which is just that, how in depth you go into each part of what your discussing - your perspective always seems to be insightful and helpful to a fellow iron addict / home fitness connesuir So i appreciate the time you take to mention and explain areas like that & more like if the lying ham curl is comfortable - because as essential as the hams are to target it can be hard to obtain a proper contraction in the prone position I really only get an effective contraction in the standing position, using ankle weights, but i just purchased a functional trainer so i can do that movement not only standing up but with constant tension Speaking of which i really appreciate your vids on the powertec functional trainer, almost purchased as it was my first choice due to build quality and your the only one out there that has a review on it that shows the peice in incredible detail - cant thank you enough for that as your vids have truly made an impact on what i decide for my basement home gym Would have definitely went with powertec but size was a factor and it was too deep for the corner its going in compared to the ‘bells of steel’ one i went with which to my suprise has a depth of only thirty inches Also must mention your garage gym is like my dream gym with the space, lighting and high ceilings - just bought my first home, a small ranch, im in the northeast tho so im limited weatherwise to a basement gym but i can still dream!

Some neat things. Could get a little crazy and cluttered with all the different things but also many different options. At least you get options so that's nice. Thanks good video..
I had to move recently so I sold my powertec levergym lol but I am keeping my ironmaster 2000. I ordered the v2 bench with the sit-up attachment to do pull downs from it (sitting on the floor sucks hurt my back) but I think downing rows on the floor or with an ab mat will be decent enough
@@aynrandfan7454 I also did a lot of chest supported rows with the bench and IM 2000 which worked great. I can’t remember if you saw it, but I had a really good hack for IM 2000 pulldowns because the bench will come off the ground at heavier weights when using the sit up attachment as a knee holder.
@ ahh kk well I will try putting some 45s at the end of the bench when pulling but for lat pulldowns it’s like my third exercise after weighted pull ups then some type of row so I usually don’t go beyond say 150 to 160 lbs for 10-12 reps (hopefully won’t tip over haha)
Haha I uploaded a short clip of my new home gym now on my channel lol … surprised I could fit the ironmaster 2000, pepin fast series and the bowflex 20-120 adjustable barbells along with plates and attachments into such a small den room downstairs
Great vid! I’ve been using all these items for some time now. Versatile is an understatement. Ironmaster brings soooo much functionality into your home.
Thanks for another great video with a thorough and in depth review of the bench attachments. Not in the market for a bench right now, but the IM stuff looks great 👍
I own the IM2000, I'm actually surprised they don't make a seat attachment that connects into the bottom, where the low row foot plate connects too. Would be a popular add on for sure.
Nice man Love that leg lock for pulldowns hack with the crunch attachment, never thought of that one. Great idea for people who have lat attachments on their power racks/equivalent but no leg rollers
@@HomeGymHacksandReviews just another reason for me to invest in a SB Pro Dunno why I keep looking elsewhere 😕 Yeah I found a rock solid weight tree off Gumtree (our Craigslist), tis a fully welded custom made one for $150, tripod design with 12 plate holders, though the spacings are a little narrow, looks like it suits 45s/55s at the bottom then 25s/35s the next prong up then the top 2 prongs for 2.5s/5s/10s. Though I've whacked my band set on the back of it for now, probably will invest in some higher quality slimline bumpers for deadlifting/barbell rows etc and sell my budget set I'm currently using, then will grab iron plates for the rest of my lifting. Was looking at a 6 prong 4 barbell tree, but I'd need more barbell storage, so I think even though the tree I bought isn't great for bumpers, it was probably still the right buy, so will grab a Rogue 9 barbell holder eventually and that'll do the job The good thing is with the tree now in the garage I can gauge how many more things I can get to fill the place up effectively, so looks like I can definitely get a seated calf raise, a proper 3-4 tier hex dumbbell rack and one of a hyperextension/preacher, maybe both if the hyperextension is light and easy to move around so the SB Pro attachments will fill the gaps (most likely with the leg curl/ext) Love that you bought into Ironmaster stuff though, Ironmaster was probably the first brand targeting the home gym owner that I was really excited about buying into and hasn't let me down yet, well worth paying up for.
12 plate holders is amazing! And a really good buy. I’m glad I got my 9 bar storage to grow into. At some point, I need to get a Rogue and / or Rep bench for even more comparisons. I’m really liking Ironmaster. The set up works perfectly for my spare bedroom and a nice alternative to a cold / hot garage.
@@HomeGymHacksandReviews would you look at doing an IM2000/SB Pro training series in the middle of winter/over Xmas or something once your DC cycle is done? Kinda a bit like how you did your Powertec levergym and functional trainer training splits
Great review . I’ve always gone for powertec though the iron master bench is very tempting due to its versatility. Still waiting for stock of the ironmaster adjustable dumbbells here in the uk , that’s my next must have .
Both are great for attachments and I don’t think you could go wrong with either. Good luck getting those IM Dumbbells. They would be my go-too adjustable dumbbells.
Great video, I always have been a fan of Ironmaster equipment, but I notice the price of their cable tower attachment went up to $599.00, I was debating on purchasing it when it was much lower, now I know for sure I won't buy that any time soon. Lol
I already have a small lat pull down machine , pull up bar and rogue wall dip attachment. Will I still need to buy this bench? I don't think I need it but I wanted. Lol. I habe a powerblock bench that I like
I think it’s a great bench and you can add a lot of attachments to it…believe me…I know the feeling of wanting a piece of equipment, but not really needing it. 😂
Awesome video. I've basically purchased ironmaster because of your thorough reviews! Would you please tell me the dimensions of the leg attachment pro? Can't find it anywhere on ironmaster's website. Also, have you had success trying to add bands for resistance on the leg attachment? Thanks!
Dang I was feeling the decline presses with the attachment being comfy for the work. My Titan FID makes me want to roundhouse something doing decline presses. 😆
With the leg extension/hamstring curls, do you find there is a “dead zone” in the movement where you are not under tension? I like how plate loaded machines keep you under tension the whole time and was wondering if the 10 degree angle is enough to mimick this. Thanks for the great content!
Thanks so much! I find the tension more consistent using cable machines more-so than most plate loaded machines / attachments; however, with that being said, I feel the tension is pretty consistent for both exercises with the leg ext / curl attachment. At no point during the exercises do I feel a lack of resistance like I do on the Titan seated leg ext / curl.
I am not entirely sure, as I’ve never used it. If you don’t plan on going heavy and you only want to use it with the quick lock plates, it seems like a good option.
Hey, in my place this bench is not available. I want to DIY the bench. Could you please let me know the measurements. Specifically I need leg extension measurements.
I love your reviews on Ironmaster (my workout space is too small for anything else). I do have a question about the plates. Do you treat them with anything to avoid rust?
I should have asked for permission to get a screenshot of your video when you realized you couldn’t face towards the bench with a dip belt. Easily one of the funniest things I’ve seen among all of your hilariously awesome stuff!
Hey does the wobble during dips prevent you from hitting failure? Wondering if the dip attachment for the super bench is worth it over a dip squat rack attachment.
I have the ironmaster bench and a powertec multi press. I'm looking to buy a leg extension / leg curl for one of them which option do you feel is better?
@@ronnierose1636 both have their selling points, but my choice is the Powertec because the padding is much better, the weight horn is stainless steel (not a plastic sleeve adapter), there’s a back pad, and with the FID bench there are handles (you could probably order a set of handles for the Multipress). The Ironmaster is higher off the ground, which may be helpful if you’re really tall.
Great review as always. Could the upper bar & pads be easily removed on the leg extension/leg curl to allow standing single leg curls without too much trouble?
Thank you. It works decently well. Depending on your height, the lower pad will need to be in the bottom position and the roller pads that need to be removed will first need to be unbolted from the middle and then an end cap will need to be removed when an allen wrench to slide the post out. About a minute required.
I wonder if you could leave those upper pads and bar unsecured. They might stay in place until you wanted to slide ‘em out. With all the data showing seated leg curls being more productive, I’m wondering if that could be simulated with a one leg standing leg curl but with a 90 degree bend in the waist?
@@rmartin9426 the Powertec’s roller pads don’t bolt on in the middle of the pipe like the Ironmaster and those posts stay in place…so it could work. As for the exercise you’re talking about, I’m not entirely sure, but I think it would be better used as a prone leg curl.
How would u come the leg curl/extension to something more commercial, i know commercial is better but does it feel lacking in any way or would u be perfectly content with this
It offers pretty consistent resistance. For its price, if you already have the bench, it’s a good buy. I do miss handles and a back support, but I’ve shown ways to hack that.
so if you set the bench at a slight incline, you get more clearance for longer legs on the leg extension? does the leg have to touch the ground on the attachment?
I have the Olympic Sleeve Adapter on - so yes, it can take 1” plates including the Ironmaster plates. I have not tried to connect it to a cable machine, but with some ingenuity I am sure it can be done.
@@HomeGymHacksandReviews Thanks for answering so quickly! Aww, too bad, I am looking for a sturdy pulley system to attach to my Smith Jones machine. I´ll order the Super Bench Pro though because of your review. I am located in Austria/Europe, if you happen to have an European affiliate link, I´d use it to purchase the bench.

Hi Hacky! I'll stick with my Powertech bench and all available attachments. With that I have everything I need. And I'm not doing an abdominal exercise or decline press on a slide 😂 Ps. When did you do a review on the bench in this video?
Hey LW! Last week I posted the comparison video. I like both a lot. The PT, like you said, for the plate-loaded attachments and the IM for body weight, BB, and DB work. You’d be surprised how awesome that sit up attachment is 🤣

Ive been adding to my home gym in my basement recently and even with hours of searching gym equipment for months now, i have never seen this ironmaster unit before, what a versatile peice of equipment
When you pulled out the band dips it made me realize i should give that a try when doing dips for pec minor/scapular depression on my vertical knee raise - i usually do thirty reps so no need for added resistance although when i do i resort to ankle weights
As a subscriber for many reasons, one of which is just that, how in depth you go into each part of what your discussing - your perspective always seems to be insightful and helpful to a fellow iron addict / home fitness connesuir
So i appreciate the time you take to mention and explain areas like that & more like if the lying ham curl is comfortable - because as essential as the hams are to target it can be hard to obtain a proper contraction in the prone position
I really only get an effective contraction in the standing position, using ankle weights, but i just purchased a functional trainer so i can do that movement not only standing up but with constant tension
Speaking of which i really appreciate your vids on the powertec functional trainer, almost purchased as it was my first choice due to build quality and your the only one out there that has a review on it that shows the peice in incredible detail - cant thank you enough for that as your vids have truly made an impact on what i decide for my basement home gym
Would have definitely went with powertec but size was a factor and it was too deep for the corner its going in compared to the ‘bells of steel’ one i went with which to my suprise has a depth of only thirty inches
Also must mention your garage gym is like my dream gym with the space, lighting and high ceilings - just bought my first home, a small ranch, im in the northeast tho so im limited weatherwise to a basement gym but i can still dream!

@@HomeGymHacksandReviews just another reason for me to invest in a SB Pro
Dunno why I keep looking elsewhere 😕

Hey, in my place this bench is not available. I want to DIY the bench. Could you please let me know the measurements. Specifically I need leg extension measurements.
I’ll try to get the measurements to you tomorrow. In the mean time, most of the measurements for the bench are on Ironmaster’s webpage.
Width = 16”
Height = 24”
Depth = 23”
I love your reviews on Ironmaster (my workout space is too small for anything else). I do have a question about the plates. Do you treat them with anything to avoid rust?
Thank you! My plates were passed down to me from my dad. They are over 30 years old. Since I’ve had them, I’ve never done any maintenance on them.
You gotta add the clip of my joke or it isn't as effective 😭 good review!
I should have asked for permission to get a screenshot of your video when you realized you couldn’t face towards the bench with a dip belt. Easily one of the funniest things I’ve seen among all of your hilariously awesome stuff!
@@HomeGymHacksandReviews nah just take what you want nobody asks haha. Thanks! I thought it was funny but I'm biased
Great review
Thank you
@@AhmedAhmed-os9tr thank you.
Hey does the wobble during dips prevent you from hitting failure? Wondering if the dip attachment for the super bench is worth it over a dip squat rack attachment.
The wobble wasn’t really noticeable under normal conditions but a squat rack dip attachment will definitely be more stable and more adjustable.
I have the ironmaster bench and a powertec multi press. I'm looking to buy a leg extension / leg curl for one of them which option do you feel is better?
@@ronnierose1636 both have their selling points, but my choice is the Powertec because the padding is much better, the weight horn is stainless steel (not a plastic sleeve adapter), there’s a back pad, and with the FID bench there are handles (you could probably order a set of handles for the Multipress). The Ironmaster is higher off the ground, which may be helpful if you’re really tall.
Nice video. Looks like you could maybe do nordic/ham curls as well using the crunch attachment? Or are the pads too close to the bench for that?
Thank you and yes, the sit up attachment works great for Nordic curls…I show that in my most recent home gym tour if you want to see it in action.
@@HomeGymHacksandReviews OK it took me awhile but I found it under your Ironmaster hack video. ua-cam.com/video/BohwHet5iPI/v-deo.html Thanks!
Great review as always. Could the upper bar & pads be easily removed on the leg extension/leg curl to allow standing single leg curls without too much trouble?
Thank you. It works decently well. Depending on your height, the lower pad will need to be in the bottom position and the roller pads that need to be removed will first need to be unbolted from the middle and then an end cap will need to be removed when an allen wrench to slide the post out. About a minute required.
I wonder if you could leave those upper pads and bar unsecured. They might stay in place until you wanted to slide ‘em out. With all the data showing seated leg curls being more productive, I’m wondering if that could be simulated with a one leg standing leg curl but with a 90 degree bend in the waist?
@@rmartin9426 the Powertec’s roller pads don’t bolt on in the middle of the pipe like the Ironmaster and those posts stay in place…so it could work. As for the exercise you’re talking about, I’m not entirely sure, but I think it would be better used as a prone leg curl.
Hey Thanks, yeah I’m sure it’s better suited for the prone leg curl but I like to find hacks to keep from emptying my bank account on more machines.
I understand completely.
Everyday is leg day!
Super bench pro is only good for short lifters below 6ft. Others over 5'10 should go with the regular Ironmaster Super Bench.
I fall under the 6’ mark, so this bench fits me really good. Agreed, if I was 6’ or taller, I probably would have gone with the OG.
Man that leg extension is so clutch
It really is a solid attachment!
Hi Luke! Is it clutch, dutch or clutched?
@@leftwinger764 LOL clutch 😂😂 also what’s good my guy!!!
@@HomeGymHacksandReviews it’s wild you could legit have so many things attach to a bench, and it’s quality too!
How would u come the leg curl/extension to something more commercial, i know commercial is better but does it feel lacking in any way or would u be perfectly content with this
It offers pretty consistent resistance. For its price, if you already have the bench, it’s a good buy. I do miss handles and a back support, but I’ve shown ways to hack that.
It's look like you can't to leg curl with big large disk right ?
Leg curls work better for me with 25s
so if you set the bench at a slight incline, you get more clearance for longer legs on the leg extension? does the leg have to touch the ground on the attachment?
It is designed and I only recommend using it at the 10 degree incline; at that setting it should fit almost anyone of any height.
@@HomeGymHacksandReviews thanks, I was worried about that, I'm going to order it now!
@@rickhammel9541 nice. I hope it works out well for you.
Can you use 1” plates for the leg extension and could you attach it to a cable machine?
I have the Olympic Sleeve Adapter on - so yes, it can take 1” plates including the Ironmaster plates. I have not tried to connect it to a cable machine, but with some ingenuity I am sure it can be done.
@@HomeGymHacksandReviews I was expecting not to be unleash creativity for it. Maybe Ironmaster could develop it.
Hi there, do you have an affiliate link to the pulley system you are using for the lat bar? Thanks!
Off the top of my head, it’s the cable system that is part of the IM 2000. I have a few videos and a full review for the IM 2000.
@@HomeGymHacksandReviews Thanks for answering so quickly! Aww, too bad, I am looking for a sturdy pulley system to attach to my Smith Jones machine. I´ll order the Super Bench Pro though because of your review. I am located in Austria/Europe, if you happen to have an European affiliate link, I´d use it to purchase the bench.
@@maram6211 I hope you like the Super Bench Pro as much as I do. I only have a link for the US, but thank you greatly!
Clever design.
Appreciate you watching!
Excellent review, too bad much of the stuff you cover don't get shipped to Europe 😭
Thank you! I definitely feel fortunate for how readily available equipment is here. What about IronmasterUK?
En bij fitness-seller
@@HomeGymHacksandReviews unfortunately the Brexit has made stuff and shipping even more expensive
@@giannipastore7963 I hope things normalize soon.
@gianni pastore
C’è Ironmaster Olanda che spedisce in tutta Europa in pochi giorni. Io ho tutto, IM2000, super bench pro e accessori. Vivo in Svizzera e mi hanno spedito tutto senza problemi, tranne che essendo appunto in Svizzera ho pagato qualcosina per lo sdoganamento.
Can I use this to do abs to secure feet ? Thanks
Hey. Can you be more specific? If you are talking about the sit up attachment, yes.
@@HomeGymHacksandReviews thanks. I'm talking about the leg attachment? Can I do abs with it attached to the bench? Thanks
@@ricardob2610 I just went out in the garage and tried it. I don’t think it’s very comfortable and it’s not a very good option for abs.
@@HomeGymHacksandReviews thanks very much. Really appreciate your kindness 🙏
@@ricardob2610 glad to help!
Hi Hacky! I'll stick with my Powertech bench and all available attachments. With that I have everything I need. And I'm not doing an abdominal exercise or decline press on a slide 😂
Ps. When did you do a review on the bench in this video?
Hey LW! Last week I posted the comparison video. I like both a lot. The PT, like you said, for the plate-loaded attachments and the IM for body weight, BB, and DB work. You’d be surprised how awesome that sit up attachment is 🤣
@@HomeGymHacksandReviews i missed the comparison video 🤔
Wait was the organizer packing job thing some hardcore deadpan sarcasm or was that just me? 😂
I was being serious with that statement 😂
I have seen some horrible packing jobs, but not from Ironmaster.
Wow
