It was't until we had a spare Ironmaster Super Bench in the showroom that I decided to have a Ironmaster Cable Tower Attachment permanently set up on display. Whenever I have new pieces of gym equipment set up I always start playing around with them - especially in winter as it helps keep you warm in our freezing warehouse! The more I started playing around with the Ironmaster Super Bench and Cable Tower combo the more I realised that this was just as good as a stand alone lat machine. I

Well I know I have been talking about these for a while now, but the Ironmaster Kettelbell Handle has finally arrived and we have them on sale. And they have been well worth the wait! The Ironmaster Kettlebell Handle is the knockout blow in the world title for the best adjustable dumbbell, in my highly biased opinion. However I think the facts speak for themselves and this addition makes the Ironmaster Quick Lock Dumbbells the ultimate training tool for any home strength enthusiast. I had'

I am on a high protein low carb eating plan at the moment which means chicken, steak and tuna every day. You really need to change things up every now and then because there is nothing worse than struggling through your meals.My wife cooks me this as a treat and I must say it is my favourite way to have chicken. If you are not on a low carb eating plan you can have it with some rice. 1 tablespoon of oil 2 red chillies, chopped 500g chicken mince 2 tablespoons fish sauce 2 tablespoons of lime

This is a video of just some of the exercises that can be performed with the Ironmaster Quick Lock Dumbbells. Combine these with the exercises shown in the Ironmaster Super Bench video and you will have plenty of variety to keep weight training for years! A lot of people have only ever done weight training in a full commercial gym. They often only know how to perform movements on dedicated pieces of gym equipment. If you are in this position then grab a good book on weight training or get

Here is a great video which gives detail about the history of Ironmaster. By buying Ironmaster you are getting a product that has had years of development and testing. There is a lot of cheap copies and products that are just plain poorly designed on the market. A lot of these brands and products are here one day and gone the next. Which is a problem if you ever have a warranty or parts issue down the track. As you can see from the video, Ironmaster was born out of a need for better

It is with great pleasure I announce that Sam's Fitness is supporting the Country Classic Invitational Bodybuilding Show. The show is on Sat 1st August at the Capital Theatre in Bendigo. What I like about this show is that there is't hundreds of categories so you get guys and girls of different heights and weights competing head to head. Unfortunately I do't think I will be able to make it to the show this year as I have just got too much happening at the moment. Lucky I will be a

Inshape Eastgardens Gym has closed and left hundreds of members in the lurch. Apparently staff members are owed money too. This gym was the reason I started importing gym equipment.Here is a link to the report in the local paper Gym Closure Report I started training at this gym when it was called Mighty M. I was a regular there and trained at 6am when it opened. It was a great gym back then. It had good gym equipment and most of the early morning trainers were regulars so there was always a g

Well I guess I should be flattered that both ForceUSA and Bodyworx have decided to copy the Powertec Multi System and Powertec Leverage Gym. Australia is such a such a small market for gym equipment in comparison to the world. So it just goes to show how popular the Powertec gyms have been in Australia that these two have decided to take a free ride on the Powertec bandwagon in Australia.Before you go and buy one of these Powertec copies I would like to point out a few facts. The Powertec Lev

Have you ever wondered what life is like for a Mr Olympia? Jay to Z gives a lazy 6 hour insight into the life of the best bodybuilder in the world. Even though this DVD took me days to watch, it was really good to see what Jay Cutler does day in day out. His main activity is eating. If he does't eat he can lose up to 10lbs in a weekend! And what I mean by eating is Jay chowing down on 6 or 7 meals. So when he is not eating he still might be getting through 3 or 4 decent meals. But that is't e

Here is the next in the series of Funk Roberts Ironmaster Dumbbell workouts. This is a lower body workout that will change your opinion of training legs with dumbbells. I remember when I first got my Ironmaster gym equipment all those years ago. I was a bit lost when training legs. After years of training in the gym I really only used dumbbells for lunges. Barbell Squats, leg press, leg extensions and lying leg curls were the mainstay of my workouts. So when it came time to train legs the
