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

This is a nice potential setup. A few small suggestions: If you’re going with Rogue plates, I’d suggest the Echo V2 bumpers. The mil spec ones are so thick that they are harder to handle and they eat up a ton of collar space. The Echo V2s also don’t have any unpleasant offgassing. I’d also suggest 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.

The PROs might be more resistant to dropping and overall wear, but for that price, you're almost better off going with a premium brand like Nuobells, Rep Pepins, or even Ironmaster. In my experi

We’ve used powerblocks for years and I also workout at the gym and use dumbbells there, too. I don’t mind the powerblocks at all. They are a sound substitute
