In this video, I take on the challenge of performing a necessary hard drop test with 100lb IronMaster Adjustable Dumbbells. Demonstrating that sometimes, dropping weights is part of the process, I use the base 75lb IronMaster Dumbbells with a 15lb Heavy Handles add-on, long screws, and additional weights sourced locally to achieve a total of 100lbs. I've rigorously tested these dumbbells over the past year, proving their durability and resilience.

Video Breakdown:

• 00:00:00 - I reintroduce heavy weights into my routine during COVID-19, transitioning from less durable options to the robust IronMaster adjustable dumbbells.
• 00:00:28 - Using the 85lb set with heavy handles.
• 00:00:59 - A light drop demonstration with 85lbs to discuss the superior durability of IronMaster compared to other brands that use flimsy plastic parts.
• 00:01:23 - Discussing the practicality of adjusting weights on IronMaster dumbbells.
• 00:01:43 - Showcasing how to use long pins and heavy handles to extend weight capacity beyond 90 pounds.
• 00:01:50 - Demonstrating a timed weight adjustment from 80lbs to 100lbs.
• 00:03:56 - Reflecting on the significance of lifting heavy weights at an older age and the mindset required.
• 00:05:16 - A real-time demonstration of lifting and dropping 100-pound dumbbells, emphasizing the IronMaster's durability when dropped hard.
• 00:06:18 - Celebrating a personal record with IronMaster Dumbbells and highlighting their reliability and ease of use.

This session isn't just a demonstration of strength but also a testament to the build quality of IronMaster Dumbbells. They allow for a gradual increase in weight, accommodating home workouts without the need for a garage full of equipment. This approach has been pivotal in hitting new personal bests and staying motivated through advanced training methods.
