- In this video I show a sample upper body pull workout for back, biceps, and traps using the Ironmaster 2000 / IM 2000.
This is Part 1 in what will be a 3 Part Series. I will also have an upper body push workout and lower body workout using the IM 2000.
My system of training is low volume, high intensity, and high frequency which is largely inspired by Dante Trudel’s DC Training Program.

Thanks for taking care of our well being with your videos 👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you Bit byBit. You too. I appreciate you watching!
great video..always amazed at the variety of movements you get from all your machines. Its a great reference..Thanks
Thanks BBD! I’m glad to hear some of these videos are helpful.
Great video and workout!!
Thank you! I appreciate you watching!
Great content as usual. I notice your appearing on ironmaster Facebook page . Good bit of recognition for your efforts . I finally got my IM dumbbells and after 30 yrs of training I can easily say these are the best db I have ever owned . I can only wish I had got them years ago . Fully recommend. I’ll be saving for the expansion plates next . 👍
Thank you and congratulations on getting your IM DBs; they are very difficult to get at the moment. I’m really glad to hear you like them and they get the number 1 spot!
I definitely appreciate IM sharing my videos. I haven’t created a full-fledged FB account yet, but may need to get on it.
Great video!!! Thank you!
Thanks DIY Fitness Club!
Nice productive workout! Your arms are growing!!!!
Thanks so much!!! 💪 🤓 💪
Great workout!!
Thank you, Luke!
That was a nice demonstration of exercises using the Ironmaster 2000. I like the chest support row exercise for the mid back and how you used the bench to replicate a stand alone back row machine. The Ironmaster 2000 can indeed replicate many stand alone cable machines at a gym which would be one reason to consider getting it and cancelling your gym membership.
Thank you! I appreciate you watching!
Wow awesome another great workout my friend your channel is amazing great workout and routine your exercises are great thanks for sharing 🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲
Thanks so much!
@@HomeGymHacksandReviews that’s all good brother
Excellent workout, great variation. I tried the seated chest supported row with the ultimate row handle 🔥
Thanks so much. Good to hear the row worked well for you.
Had to subscribe your channel is great full support my good friend let’s go yeahhh💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
Thanks so much! Favor returned!
@@HomeGymHacksandReviews appreciate your support my friend let’s go yeahhhh🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲
@@TerryFitnessOfficial likewise!
@@HomeGymHacksandReviews thanks a lot
I almost got a functional trainer but when back to these videos bc of the 1:1 and the amount of weight you can put on this but then I was like what about the pulley exercises... So I'm glad I saw this
Thanks so much!
@@HomeGymHacksandReviews WHAT??!!! no thank you!! these are so helpful :) can you link the attachments or do you have a video on that somewhere as far as the grips and the rolling bar, do you have video dedicated specifically to diff types of grips? whether they are IM or not
I have an Ironmaster playlist and videos for all the attachments.
@@HomeGymHacksandReviews The orange grips and the rotating pull down bar aren't on their website you mentioned the bar in your top 5? attachments video but the orange grips I don't see a specific video. I was asking just your fav/unique universal cable attachments in general. If you had made a video like that. If not it would be really helpful!
@@MNIU_ the orange grips are the Angles 90 Grips and the revolving curl bar is from Power Systems. It’s been a while, but I think both attachments are in my video: My 10 Favorite Pieces of Home Gym Equipment Under 100. I also did a CZcams Short of my Top 3 Cable Attachments: The Prime Fitness Rotate Handles, the Angles 90, and the Ironmaster Ultimate Row Handle.
1. Making "Magic" happen!!
2. The dogs chillin lol
3. You should add hanging upside down like a bat Mr. Angles lol
lol! I like the new name, MC Titan, “Mr. Angles!” It rolls off the tongue a little easier than, “Hacky” 😂
@@HomeGymHacksandReviews
🤣
@@HomeGymHacksandReviews i disagree of course 😉
@@leftwinger764 I was worried you would see my reply, LW! 😂
@@HomeGymHacksandReviews 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Nice one HGHRs
Yeah my Ultimate Row handle is getting a really big hammering these days for back day since I got the lat attachment on my rack.
Actually interesting noticing the difference doing prone rows with the URH with the low cable compared to doing the same movements with some sort of free weight. With barbells and dumbbells I'll set my bench at a medium incline and that works them fine, I think the barbell variety is good for rhomboids/traps, but albeit limited ROM there (dumbbells I row with a wide neutral grip not to hit the bench), but with kettlebells and the URH I'll have it set on high incline, though with the URH I feel it across my whole upper back/rear delt area as it's nice having the adjustable handles there for increased ROM and a better contraction, so I use the 5th neutral grip hole placings for that, good to see you doing the same movements on the IM2000
Also seem to use the neutral grip more than the pronated grip on the URH, only for landmine tbar rows and bent over low cable rows I prefer the pronated grip as it hits the lats better I think. For wide grip lat pulldowns I'll use the 6th or 7th neutral grip or the 6th pronated grip though I can go heavier with the neutral grip here because of more bicep activation, the 8th hole is too wide for me though on most things, close grip pulldown 2nd or 3rd neutral grip, maxed out my lat attachment at 100kgs earlier tonight on the close grip pulldowns (only 8.5 inch weight horns, so not great for bumpers)
Haven't really tried the URH for triceps yet, but it works well for chain flys and what not as you set up also.
But yeah, it's definitely my favourite cable attachment/go to right now
All great points. Like you, I prefer the neutral grip for just about everything.
I am loving it for Triceps. Rather than grabbing the handles, I have attached revolving handles to the bar and it makes for great Tricep exercises.
@@HomeGymHacksandReviews at the moment I can't see myself buying into things like MAG grips for a long time, this will do nicely for a while. Probably will buy a few decent barbells like a Rogue Ohio power bar before MAG grips.
The knock off Mag Grips are a decent option if you can get them where you are. However, and similarly, I’ve been using the URH and Angles exclusively for the last month or so.
@@HomeGymHacksandReviews there's a few knock offs on the Aussie market now, seem to be around $300-400AU for a 5 pack though, no $129US deals at Walmart here ☹
For $565AU I can get an Ohio power bar though, so probably look that sort of way first
Great reviews like always. At 6'2" (weights 220-260 pounds), do you think I will have problem to use the IM2000 for chin up or for squat with a free barbell due to the bar of the smith machine not removable. I saw other review showing doing squat with a free barbell but without plates on it. I already have the Bench since a long time and the tower but with the IM2000 I can get rid of the tower and my actual squat rack for making space. Thank you in advance.
Thank you. The Ultimate Chin Up has a 300 pound max weight capacity so you should be fine.
I have an older video reviewing the safety spotter arms and bar hooks; in that video, you can see what barbell squatting looks like on the IM2000. You can put the smith bar in the top holes so it’s out of the way or hold onto the smith bar like I’ve shown if doing Hatfield Squats.
I just wish the safety spotter arms were a little longer.
Thank you for the video and demonstration. Random question, but what are the dimensions of the room that you in to fit both the IM2000 and attachments tower? I like the setup. I assume maybe a 7x7?
I mention it in my updated garage gym tour…but off the top of my head, I believe it’s 11’ x 12’
One arm back exercise - other advantage, greater ROM, stretch. Need to get back to one arm lat pulldowns...did them religiously to warm up in commercial gym (lost in translation when going to home gym life).
Great points, Mark!
good job..and yeah the machine does sound "or not"lol like its good and smooth..
Thanks BBD! lol! Yeah, I lift early in the morning and I can use this without waking anyone up.
@@HomeGymHacksandReviews big difference in yours and the used one i bought. of course the guide rods are all buggered up on mine..PLUS mettle ball barrings on metal guide rods..BUT over all im still ok with mine. It sure comes in handy for those of us with back issues.
You got a good price on yours and it fits in your gym nicely. Have you tried silicone spray on the guide rods?
@@HomeGymHacksandReviews no I used grease. Thought that was right. You think silicone spray would do better?
I think so…dry silicone spray. I sprayed every piece of equipment I have for the first time a couple weeks ago, and everything feels better than ever.
I had this long with a hoist fitness functioal trainer. I had to sell both for an all in one force usa g6 for more room. But man I miss the im2000 soo much
The G6 is a really nice all-in-one machine, but I’m glad to hear you liked the IM 2000 when you had it.
@@HomeGymHacksandReviews i actually loved that thing when I had it. I still have a bunch of other ironmaster equipment.
@@DoritosResidue about 90% of the time time, I regret selling equipment…even if it’s something I don’t use very often.
@@HomeGymHacksandReviews when I move to a place with a bigger garage I most likely will buy the im2000 again. You can Never have enough gym equipment even if you don't have room for it lol.
@@DoritosResidue pretty much my philosophy! 😂
Great video. I was wondering if you were back to the P/P/L split 6 days/week split.
Thank you! I’ll eventually go back to DC, but I really like training 6 times a week.
@@HomeGymHacksandReviews Cool. Wasn't sure if the lower frequency was prioritizing recovery after being sick or if you do stretches of time of more frequency and less to mix things up.
@@briand5047 believe it or not, the lower frequency of DC Training was to get my size and strength back as quickly as possible…and for the most part, it worked very well. I just love lifting so much that I have to stop myself from doing it twice a day, every day 😂
@@HomeGymHacksandReviews I'm the same way. It someone would just create a healthy way to double or triple recovery...
@@briand5047 lol. If only!
Could you please make a video where you compare the Iron master 2000 and the powertec levergym?
It’s a few videos down the road…but it is planned.
@@HomeGymHacksandReviews thank you!!!
Hi , Sorry to bother you again but I placed the order for the MI 2000 and it said ground US 48 for shipping . I assume 48 is the states that they ship free to but what is the ground shipping? Is that UPS or USPS or do they have their own shipping company that they work with. Who delivered yours? I live in a apt building and don’t want it left in lobby by mail-truck which they have a habit of doing . Thanks! PS How long for delivery ? Didn’t see it on site.
Have you seen my full review for the IM 2000? That could be helpful. UPS was the carrier. It took one week to get to me and it traveled 3,000 miles. It’s 3 boxes all about 100 pounds.
@@HomeGymHacksandReviews Thank you! Looking for ward to it.👍
@@pinkypromise111 that video should give you a good idea of delivery, assembly, etc. I hope it helps and feel free to reach out with any questions, concerns, etc.
How much does the bar on it self weigh with out any plates?
With the Olympic sleeve adapters, 36 pounds.
@@HomeGymHacksandReviews thank you.. I watched all your videos on the im2000 decided to get it.. set it up yesterday used it today. Thank you for the reviews i almost got me a cheap amazon squat rack.. would have end up regretting it had it not been for you. Incredible work keep it up.
Thanks so much! I am so glad to hear you are happy with it. If you check out the gym tour I posted today, you will see my favorite new hack with the IM 2000.
Should I get this or the Titan lat pulldown. I need a lat pulldown.
I’ve never used the Titan Lat Pulldown. This machine is much more than a Pulldown, it’s the best Smith Machine I’ve ever used. However, for Pulldowns, you have to sit on the floor and lock your legs under the rollers or use the sit up attachment on the Super Bench Pro to lock your legs under. Ironmaster has a lat pulldown for which I have a review.
Thank you. I really enjoy your channel.
@@markrobinson2427 thank you! I really appreciate that. There are lots of good choices out there…feel free to ask me about the model you decide on before you make your purchase.
Are the lat pulldown comfortable doing them on the floor?
@@markrobinson2427 I sit on a bench pad and I think it’s comfortable. I keep my legs bent. I’ve heard some say it bothers their lower back, but not mine. I’ve been using the Prime RO-T8 Handles lately, which the IM 2000 is the only place I can use them for dual arm overhead lat Pulldowns bc they are so long.
So you cant go to a lower weight doing lats etc because the weight is 36 lbs on that bar? What if I wanted to start at 10 lbs with lat attachment, I can’t?
If you check out my IM 2000 Hacks video, I show one way to use the pulley system with a loading pin and lighter weights can be used.
There is also another way to attach plates / weights to the upper carabiner of the cable system and use them as a counter balance.
@@HomeGymHacksandReviews Thanks again! Much appreciated!
@@pinkypromise111 glad to help.
@@HomeGymHacksandReviews May pur
May purchase this today ,the pro bench is out of stock 🥴. Will have to wait for that part . Thanks for the video !🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻👍👍👍
