Best Adjustable Dumbbells Set?

They DO all have tradeoffs - you just have to figure out what tradeoffs you're willing to make and what aligns with your personal preferences. I have a preference for the powerblock Pro 100s, but they're expensive, bulky, and have that cage design which are all real downsides and I don't often recom

What are the best adjustable dumbbells for a home gym?

I went with powerblock pro EXPs up to 80 lbs. Here was my criteria that helped me make my decision: -durability: I was concerned about the mechanism breaking as well as if I dropped the dumbbell (something I never do, but you never know if you have an injury or accident). Powerblocks have probably t

What are the best adjustable dumbbells for a home gym?

powerblocks are an excellent value - especially the older Powerblock EXPs with the red markings. extremely quick to adjust weights and feel tough as hell. it doesn’t have any mechanical moving parts that can break.

"Ironmaster/Eisenlink dumbbells are too slow when you want to change the weight"

I bought the Powerblock EXP back in the Covid dayz but these are the all metal ones and I don't think they even sell them anymore, they changed to putting that plastic coating on them. But still Powerblocks would probably be the fastest change of weight plates at 10 LB increments, although as you mi

Why do all adjustable dumbbells have at least 1 thing that sucks about them?

6 months ago I was in the same position and trying to evaluate an adjustable dumbbell set. Here’s why I went with the Powerblock pro exp 100: -able to change the weights quickly, without putting them back into any sort of cradle. I really enjoy drop setting and the idea of being able to put them dow

Powerblock Expansion or New Adjustable Set

Yeah I’m stoked to have both, but they both have pros and cons. I probably should’ve bought Pepin’s before Ironmaster’s and Ironmaster’s before PowerBlocks lol I’m definitely favoriting the Pepin’s more in my workouts just for the fact they speed up my workouts back to the time frame it took using P

PowerBlock Pro 100 Straight Bar and Kettlebell, worth it ?

I’ve played around with PowerBlock setups and the dumbbells themselves are great… the attachments are where it gets a bit “it depends” the straight bar works, but don’t expect it to feel like a normal barbell. it’s a bit clunky, balance is a little weird, and adjusting weight isn’t as quick as just

Adjustable dumbbells or rack?

I have two sets of Powerblocks. One that is 5-50 with 5 lb quick adjustments, and a 10-90 with 10 lb adjusts. I find this works well for me when I need mediums and heavies, as well as when the instructor might use the same dumbbells for different exercises but I’m able to easily and quickly tweak it

Weekly Free-Talk and Questions for r/HomeGym - week of May 15, 2026

I’m in the exact same boat! I’ve been training neutral grip with my PowerBlocks and it’s a great alternative movement. It’s just that once I get over 70 lbs, getting the dumbbells up into position sucks. So I know I don’t need a MGPB or VHS. But man do they look cool.
