Pro 50

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

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.

I have 2 sets of powerblocks -an old set that goes up to 33 lbs per hand and a newer one that goes up to 90 lbs per hand. They’re easy to change, sturdy and reliable and have great customer service. I’ve never even heard of the other brands you mentioned. I have never been unable to do a move with p

Powerblock EXPs routinely go on sale on Woot and can save you a few hundred when looking at the 90lb set.

He had the kettle bell attachment and the ez bar attachment. I know they are a little pricey... But I would say if yo

50 lbs is an achievable mark for good DB’s. I got powerblocks and love em. Is that just where you want to start or is that where you think your strength cap is?!Couple of criteria’s to look at.-Drop-ability/ durability- size/ structure- adjustability/speed of change.- priceThe ones I considered most

You can get the color indicators for the weights from Powerblock directly if you talk to support. I've fixed up a few sets of Powerblocks myself (haven't posted the pics here though) and that is very easy to rectify if you want the indicators. Folks have posted sticker files with the weight indicati

I still choose my Powerblocks for most exercises due to the liking the handle more often over my hex ergo set and my AOC Pilates (octagon style Eisenlinks). I would say the Powerblock brand knurl handle feels like a good set of commercial dumbbells. My AOCs have a 35.5mm handle diameter and feels a
