Pro 50

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

Every adjustable dumbbell has downsides because they’re all compromising something in order to save space. The only perfect dumbbell is a full rack of fixeds. That being said, PowerBlocks are pretty great. I’ve had mine for close to a decade now. They are very durable. Other than swapping in knurled

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

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

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.

I have both at different locations. I got the Bowflex on clearance at Walmart a year ago and have since had them replaced with the recall. Positives super quick to change weight and easy to use. Open handle design. Negative max weight 52.5 lbs MIght be fine if you also have barbells or don't lift th

I went with PowerBlock USA Elites, with the knurled grips, and love em. I like the cage and find that it supports my wrist nicely for some exercises like lat raises and such. I looked at the IM dumbbells, and was very close to getting those, but the PowerBlocks won out because I didn't want to deal

Honestly it’s really not bad at all. Storage is key - one thing I would improve is having more plate hangars, would make changing weights easier. But other than that it’s really not claustrophobic at all. Just have to get into a routine with it all! Dumbbells are Powerblocks, Pro 50 I think. They’re
