POWERBLOCK Sport 24

Product Information

We also appreciate the dumbbell's durability and think that they'll last years in your at-home gym—making them well worth the rather hefty investment. You will pay more for adjustable dumbbells initially, but after you factor in how much you would spend on the same weights as fixed dumbbells, you may find the cost of the adjustable dumbbells to make more sense.

Unlike the Pro 90 and Pro 50 Commercial sets, the Pro 125/175 Commercial dumbbells do not have knurled steel handle grips.That is, with some models you have the option to purchase add-on kits to increase the maximum weight, while others lack such options. This would be beneficial if you were to perform supersets with different weights on different exercises or dropsets on the same exercise. But we do not recommend this pick for intermediate and advanced weightlifters, as the maximum weight per dumbbell is about 19 pounds.

She closely evaluated each set, paying special attention to how functional it would be in a real, at-home fitness routine. Most adjustable dumbbells range in weight from five to 50 pounds but some go as high as 80 or 90 pounds, allowing you to perform a full-body set of exercises. The U90 Stage 1 Set and the Elite 5-50 Set will BOTH be more compact than a fixed dumbbell of the same weight.Whereas, the U90’s were welded with no flex, so an impact would be more likely to deform the blocks.

PowerBlocks are the heaviest quick-change dumbbells available, and – unlike traditional adjustable dumbbells – switching weights is quick, fuss-free and secure, so they’re perfect for any workout that requires different levels of resistance for different exercises. Thankfully, after requesting it for years, they’ve brought out a knurled handle option for their Commercial Pro Series. The PowerBlock Pro 100 EXP adjustable dumbbell set starts with stage 1 at 40 pounds with the option to add 3 additional expansion kits to get to 60, 80, or 100 pounds.Although these adjustable dumbbells are shaped quite unconventionally, they're very storable given their square shape, which we think makes them worth it for those with smaller spaces. Adjustable dumbbells provide access to an entire dumbbell rack, at a fraction of the space, says Prince Brathwaite, CPT,founder of Trooper Fitness, says. I’m grouping these in with the Sport EXP since they are the same as the Sport EXP in terms of design/shape, dimensions, increments and max capacity. The precise weight increments for the “Heavy Weight 125 lb” and the “Heavy Weight 125 lb + 50 lb Add-On” are as follows: 2.

Although these dumbbells don't ship assembled, it took us less than five minutes to fully assemble them, without needing any tools. Like the standard EXP Powerblocks and the Commercial Series model, the Elite EXP is available in several different kits or “stages,” depending on the range of weight increments needed. The PowerBlock Pro 90 Adjustable Dumbbell set with commercial pillar stand provides a full set of dumbbells ranging from 2 to 41kg per hand - PowerBlock Pro models are covered by a full commercial warranty so perfect for personal trainers and club use. He told me that all new home-use PowerBlock models sold going forward now have a standard 5-year limited warranty.

These dumbbells can offer similar free weight benefits, but they don't take as much space as having numerous pairs of fixed dumbbells and a weight rack in your personal weight room. MXSelect's Rapid Change Adjustable Dumbbells are one of the largest that we tested, making them a solid purchase for your at-home gym. This comes into play with overhead shoulder presses and bench presses where you want to get your hands closer together. There are a few models we cover in this PowerBlock Adjustable Dumbbells review, as well as comparisons to other similar products on the market.
