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

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
