I don't know if its a deal, but Ironmaster quicklock dumbbells are back in stock for MSRP $869 with stand and free shipping. I know some people have been waiting forever for these to get back in stock.

I like them. They feel better than powerblocks. It really doesn't take that long to make weight changes. I'll gladly sacrifice the speed for the overall better feel and construction; but I understand why a lot of people prefer powerblocks.
Good Deal?

Ironmaster has been around since 1979, I don't know if you are confusing them with someone else. I believe the adjustable dbs have been around since 2000 so they are more recent.

No, I meant to say "product". Yes, they are pretty well established and respected

Powerblocks are great for speed of weight changes and I will probably never sell mine. You really can't drop them, but a set of crash pads alongside the bench allows a controlled descent without any damage to the PBs. The Ironmasters feel like regular DBs though and you could drop them without the crash pads with no worries. Either set is a great choice and it all depends on what you prioritize in your workouts. Some people opt to get both and use the Ironmasters for the heavier sets, which is a great setup if you have the cash to get both but lack the space for a full fixed set of bells.

I've been lifting 4x longer than you have been in gym management; and have won competitions. I have to take exception to your 9/10 times rule. If you are not lifting to failure every single set, you are doing it wrong (if hypertrophy is your goal). Lifting to failure means you will occasionally get into trouble and have to dump a weight. That's the universal truth. It has nothing to do with ego.

That is my problem with powerblocks. The main advantage of powerblocks is dropsets. However, if you are not doing dropsets to absolute failure then you shouldn't be doing dropsets. Again, going to failure means you may have to dump or drop a weight and powerblocks aren't designed to drop. So powerblocks are designed to fail at the one thing they are good for.
Ironmaster adjustable dumbbells aren't designed for dropping, either. Forget about adjustables, get Eleiko dumbbells instead.

Fine print at the end of that video; "Evo is built to last but dumbbells should not be dropped, please treat your dumbbells with the greatest respect." Lol

Is this better than my full set of pre USA stamped York roundheads?

LOL. Pretty sure it's there for liability reasons. Check out commercial gyms with those dumbbells which took plenty of abuse.

Lol I'm sure there's a fine print somewhere on these also.
