Very helpful review...thank you. I have had the older "Super Bench" model along with many of the attachments except leg attachment for over 12 years - great bench. I've recently wondered if I should switch to the Super Bench Pro. Would like to buy the leg attachment (and hybrid bench pad) and bkz the leg attachment is the only piece that is bench specific, it is forcing the decision...stay with the current SB or make the change now to the SB Pro. I'm not really bothered by older Super Bench's extra height (I'm 6'4")...and the slightly higher small slide-in seat setting is a plus (SB's taller 3 seat settings vs SB Pro's 2). Is the SB Pro leg attachment better than the SB version (I noticed the SB Pro must be in a decline position as opposed to basic SB which remains flat - advantage or disadvantage)? Apart from the height, 2 attachment locking knobs (vs SB's 1) and stiffer pad you mentioned, is the SB Pro more stable or inherently "better" in your experience...are the attributes of the newer Super Bench Pro worth making the change over to? Thank you.

@HomeGymHacksandReviews 2 жыл бұрын

Thanks so much! I am really glad to hear you like your Ironmaster pieces. I have not had the opportunity to use the OG Super Bench. However, I will say the leg ext / curl is one of my favorite attachments for the SBP. The bench at a 10 degree incline is a good thing IMO bc it creates additional space between your feet and the floor. However, getting the SBP just for the Leg Ext / Curl is a tough call. With your height, I just don’t know if it’s going to feel too low…although 17” is what most benches are. If you could sell the OG and put some of that money towards the SBP it’s is probably worth it….just make sure you like pressing on a 17.2” bench. However, if you have the room and funds, keep both, bc at your height, the seated shoulder press on the SBP is going to be low.

Great vid again HGHR Would the preacher pad be ok for big fellas like myself? Or would I be far too hunched over or would tilting the bench slightly upwards with the point of the bench where the preacher is elevated work? The preacher pad is 1 of the SBs most crucial attachments I feel, along with the leg curl/ext and the crunch attachment, but it looks like it only has 1 height setting Other option is to go down the ATX/Powertec attachment bench route as they seem to have better adjustability with their leverage preacher curl attachments but also better adjustability with the leg extension being able to sit back on the bench with a backrest, something the Ironmaster SB doesn't do (need a barbell backrest hack as you show in the vid), though the SB will be better for my dumbbells as it opens up the spotter stands option and gives me a solid flat bench option/occasional adjustable bench Probably can get away without the preacher attachment if a dedicated station fits in my setup 🤔 though I do like the idea of dragging the SB over to a cable station for curls

@HomeGymHacksandReviews 2 жыл бұрын

Thank you, RWBB! You are right, there is only one height setting for the preacher pad, but as you mentioned, slightly changing the angle of the bench might work. It’s difficult to say for sure without trying it in-person. From time to time, one of my 6’4” friends visits and when he does I’ll have him try it out (unfortunately, he is presently out of the country). The preacher is one of my favorites, if not my favorite, of the SBP attachments. However, the leg ext / leg curl is up there too. It fits me really well and when going heavy it just feels “right” (even without handles and a back support) and especially since having the wider pad on the bench.

@IntelligentProbe 8 ай бұрын

FYI, if you lay back and down when doing your leg extensions it'll illicit the stretch response (for greater hypertrophy and mobility) of the quad better, but I'd suggest to lightening the weight a bit until you get use to it. However you're probably only talking about a 5% (average) gain over your lifetime vs. doing it the "normal" way. I've got my eye on the pro 2 model... seems like the right choice for me.

@HomeGymHacksandReviews 8 ай бұрын

I’ve tried that; for whatever reason, my back isn’t real crazy about performing leg extensions supine. V2 definitely looks like a good bench, when I had this bench, I bought almost all the upgrades…so my V1 is basically a V2.

Could the hyper core attachment also be used for incline nordic curls? Like does the foot holder slide up far enough to get your knees on the pad? Also, do you think the hyper core would be just as good for preacher curls as the preacher attachment?

I keep looking at the cable tower attachment for the bench, but by the time someone pays for it, the IM2000 starts looking appealing.

@HomeGymHacksandReviews 2 жыл бұрын

I have not had a chance to use the cable tower attachment, but it looks awesome, especially with its 1:1 pulley ratio. However, you’re right, you can increase your number of exercises considerably with the IM 2000. With the IM 2000, for Pulldowns, you can sit on the floor and lock yourself into the roller pads. Also, the sit up attachment works decently to lock yourself down for Pulldowns when it’s connected to the super bench pro (I show that in my review of the sit up attachment), but the cable tower attachment is the most like a traditional lat pulldown.

@RobGraham1 2 жыл бұрын

I recently sold the cable tower attachment and got an incredible deal on a used, almost brand new, IM2000. You are right, the cable tower doesn't save that much space compared to the IM2000, plus I had to have an olympic plate stand too. And the IM2000 pulleys are way smoother. It must be the leverage to the pulleys, but the pull down is like butter it feels way smoother than the cable tower pull down. The low pulley is super smooth as well. And as you said, you can do tons of exercises with the Im2000 and there's less set up. The cable tower you have to turn around to use the low pulley. that was getting old. Both products are great, however, if one has the space, I would recommend the IM2000 over the cable tower.

I bought the Hyper Core and absolutely hated it; it was returned back to IM. As you showed in the review, it needs to be dropped down onto the floor after it's setup on the PRO bench, makes causes a loud slam. This also makes it tough to take out of the bench once you are done with it. Instead of getting the additional attachment so that you don't have to connect it to the bench, I just got a standalone fold-able version from another brand. All the other attachments have been great though and I absolutely love what IM has on offer 😀 I've been super happy with my purchases from them, well worth the money.

@HomeGymHacksandReviews 2 жыл бұрын

I’m glad to hear you are happy with most of your IM purchases. I’ve been really happy with all of the attachments, even the Hyper Core, but it helps that I have it in a permanent spot always connected to the lat tower seat. I don’t think I would like it as much if I only had the Super Bench Pro to connect it to.

@@plmn93 I wouldn't recommend you to get the one from Iron Master, since the reliance on the bench makes the setup tedious. It's also important to pick one with a design that allows you to pickup/set down the weight directly from the floor, which you cannot with the IM one, since it's connected.
