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

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.

$1/lb for urethane or any Powerblocks is indeed a steal. Powerblock will provide free replacement stickers also. And the “Pro EXP” plates are compatible if you’d like to expand

I've had Powerblock pros and Repins. If you've got the cash, Repins feel amazing. Absolutely love them. But it's true powerblocks can fill the same role for much less $.

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

I say go for it. It really doesn’t take much to get started lifting and you can do it relatively cheap if you search the secondhand market for gear. One pair of adjustable dumbells is sufficient for my daily home weight training needs. At first I considered getting a full set but I don’t have dedica

Back in 2024 there was a great sale for powerblock sport. $200 for the 5-50 kit and $90 for either the stage 2 or 3 expansion kits. I got all 3 for $370. Found a large powerblock stand on FB for $50 soon after. Ever since then I use it way more often then my ironmasters.
