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 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

A friend of mine invited me over for a workout and had the powerblocks pro 50. I was sceptical at first but they are well constructed and sturdy pieces of equipment. I was surprised.

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’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

I got them at Christmas. Still happy with them. There is minor clanking sounds when they get heavier but it's still very solid. The knurling is nice and the handles are thicker which adds to the stability although could be a drawback for people with smaller hands (but significantly smaller, like a c

Reppins look like something Batman has in his gym. They are badass. However PB USA elites are made in the US. You don’t have to worry about Chinese welds or plastic components wearing out. Powerblocks have been around for a long time for a reason.
