The Ironmaster Spotting Arms have been designed for our best-selling IM2000 rack so you can expand your training options in your home gym. IronmasterUK IM2000 spotting arms demoWhether you are a novice, building a new home gym, or adding to your training space, you know that a set of solid, reliable spotting arms can help you train harder.
Easily turn your IM2000 Smith type machine into a half rack to work harder with a barbell when you’re training alone.
The IM2000 has always been perfect for a home gym that is tight on space. It’s so much more than a standard Smith machine. It turns a small home gym into a full gym with capabilities that will rival any commercial gym. Add the IM2000 spotting arms and you get even more – the smooth movement of the IM2000 bar, plus the opportunity to train with a free bar.
“I bought these with my IM2000 to serve exactly their purpose, safety spotting arms for free weight lifts. I push the limits, at times, and I have done so with confidence that these will back me up (and they have on more than one occasion).” – H Carlton
Why add these Spotting Arms?
Ironmaster know how to make heavy duty, beautifully designed and fit for purpose strength training equipment. These spotting arms tick all the boxes and are a must have for IM2000 owners. Good equipment is something you should only have to purchase once for your home gym, so the question remains – why settle for anything less than the best?
Heavy Duty
We know you value high quality materials and need the safety, security, and reliability of tough design. These spotting arms give you the extra bit of support you need to keep pushing hard in training.
The arms are rated to 227 kgs (a very conservative estimate, based on protecting your IM2000 uprights) and 35 cm in length – allowing plenty of room to squat, bench press or shoulder press in safety without a training partner.
Thoughtfully engineered
The special paint finish on the IM2000 side rails is one of the secrets behind its super smooth lifting bar action. The Spotting Arms help protect this, with nylon protective inserts where they touch the uprights.

Buy it once, buy it right.
The IM2000 Spotting Arms are built to last. Our design, durability and build quality means you will have total faith in your home gym equipment. You can’t cut corners with spotting arms.
At Ironmaster we believe that no home gym should be held back by its equipment. Your personal gym should be the place to focus on your workout, not on the equipment. No stress, no fuss, no frustration. After all, isn’t that why you decided to train at home?
Exercises to try with your IM2000 Spotting Arms
Bench Press
Set the Super Bench to the desired angle and correctly position the Spotting Arms. Use a medium width grip that forms a 90 degree angle between the upper arms and the forearms when the barbell is at your chest. Unrack the bar and hold it directly over you with straight arms. Lower the bar slowly until it touches your lower chest then press the bar back up, focusing on your chest and contracting your pecs. When your set is completed, re-rack the bar.
Barbell Shoulder Press
Hit your shoulders by positioning the Super Bench in the upright position and the Spotting Arms protecting you. Lift the barbell to your starting position at shoulder height slightly in front of your head and with your palms facing forward. Drive the barbell upward until your arms are fully extended. Pause, then lower the barbell slowly.
And these are just a few suggestions!
Ironmaster are offering you more than a set of Spotting Arms. This kit represents the opportunity to push yourself to the limit knowing your equipment can withstand anything you throw at it.
Don’t waste time looking for anything better for your home gym. It doesn’t exist. With the Ironmaster Spotting Arms you finally get the freedom to refine your technique and add serious strength without worrying about safety.

Great product and essential for free weights I bought these with my IM2000 to serve exactly their purpose, safety spotting arms for free weight lifts. I push the limits, at times, and I have done so with confidence that these will back me up (and they have on more than one occasion). The ability to have a free weight option was one of the deciding factors in my IM2000 and SuperBench purchase.

Highly recommend these if you get the bar hooks and decide to let your IM2000 double as a half rack. Solid, sturdy, and easy to adjust. Length is just right. Only complaint is that if you have a bar with aggressive knurling, it can scrape the paint off of this because there’s no rubber coating over it. That’s easy enough to fix yourself though.

Very well built, solid spotting arms for my IM2000 for free weight benching and squats.

For your safety
Wow, these work way better than I expected. If you find a sweet spot as I did then you can go to “real” failure and still be safe. This is the next best thing to having a physical spotter, a must-buy if you trying to make some serious gains.
