Nutrabio.com




I encourage everyone to take a look at Nutra Bio's website and compare their prices. I've been using them for over a year and I've searched the internet for comparable prices of various powders and supplements. Nutra Bio has some of the lowest prices, if not the lowest prices, on most of your basic supplement needs. Shipping is only $5.95 when you use the code "SHIP" at checkout. I've never had a problem with this company. Before you buy an expensive supplement loaded with fillers you don't need, do a little research and make your own. You'll find out that it's much cheaper in the long run.

Iron Master dumbbells review











Today I received my Iron master adjustable dumbbells, 120 lb add on kit, super bench and pull up attachment.

The adjustable dumb bells are absolutely terrific. I've felt the powerblocks and the bowflex adjustable dumb bells in the stores and they've felt awkward to me. The iron masters felt exactly like the hexagon dumb bells you find in gyms. There is no clanking of the plates. True, the method of changing and adding plates takes a bit getting used to, but after you get the hang of it..it goes quite fast.

While it's true that powerblocks can change weights faster it is also true that they cost quite a bit more money if you take into consideration: It's $600 for powerblocks 90 lb dumb bells with NO stand and a 10 to 15 year warranty. You can expand it up to 130 lbs and the cost would be $897. Also the 90 lb bow flex's are about $600 also and you can not drop them and they also come without a stand. Bowflex® SelectTech® Dumbbells are covered by a 2-year limited warranty on all parts, 5-year warranty on weight plates and 1-year warranty on labor.

With the Iron Master you get 75 lb dumb bells AND a stand AND a life time warranty for $489 and you can up grade to 120 lbs each arm for $200 more for a total of $689.00 I think I'll take the extra money saved over a few measly seconds saved. Besides....if you are working out like you should and giving it all you got on each set then you won't be going from one exercise to the next in the blink of an eye anyway. You'll be out of breath...at least that's the situation with me.

The super bench is awesome. It's extremely easy to set the right angle with the foot control. The bench gives you 11 different angles to choose from. I've also got the wheel attachment. What can you say about that? It rolls and makes moving the bench very easy. The pull up attachment is also great. There is no rocking of the bench or the attachment. The attachment feels real solid and is rated for up to 300 lbs. It is very easy to switch out.

Anyone buying anything from Iron Master will be not only pleasantly surprised by the feel of quality but also by the value you get for your money when you start comparing to other similar products. If you are thinking about getting some adjustable dumb bells then these are the only ones to get. You'll just be throwing extra money away if you get any other brand.
