PowerBlock Elite Dumbbells

You get what you pay for. PowerBlock Elite 90 Adjustable 5 to 90-Pounds per Dumbbell Set Pros: Compact, durable design Many, MANY weight increments Versatile and easy to use Not as Pro (no Cons here): Square-shape vs traditional hex-shape takes a little adjusting for some exercises $600 (gotta pay to play) I actually purchased the base set (up to 50lbs US-imperial/ 22.6kg metric) a while back and purchased the remaining extensions (up to 90 US/40.8 metric) about 2 months ago. The weights are excellent quality. The handles have the weight increments marked and color-coded. I've done plenty of drop and pyramid sets with them. They feel comfortable to hold.and weight changes happen in easily under 10 seconds. I don't advise or advocate chunking them like a frisbee, however, these weights are solid. The square design allows you to use them for weighted planks or pushup (renegade) rows while feeling completely stable. I never drop my weights, however I do various work such as deadlifts, cleans and presses, and weighted burpees which require me to contact the ground with the weight, controlled mind you. There's even a video where a guy was using the first gen model and he was really slamming it. 20 year old weights and still kicking. Just don't be reckless and drop them for any reason. Anything could give no matter the durability if abused. It doesn't matter why you're lifting (functional, body building, general health, just wanna "look good") these would fit well in any type of gym.

Took a chance and bought this stage 2 expansion as a "like new" resale item for just under $100 and it was perfect. Stacked flawlessly with no warp issues, no chips, no damage. The only issue I could see with the item was the box was a bit banged up but the item itself was packaged perfectly. Well worth it for the value!

I've owned the Powerblock Elite Dumbbells (the 5 - 50lb kit) and just purchased teh 50-70 extension set. I've found these weights to be comfortable to carry and use, and the ease of use, and fast weight switching has allowed me to see great results over the past few months (and now I had to get the extension set to keep going). I love how compact my set is, despite being the equivalent of multiple dumbbells up to 70 lbs. Due to the design of the weights, there are a few exercises that are more difficult, and I can't really wear my watch as it'll press against the side bars, but to me, these are minor quibbles as I'm in no way an expert weightlifter and my home gym is fairly limited by space. All in all, I would definitely recommend these!

These are perfect when you finally get strong enough to use the 90 pounds per dumbbell. Definitely disappointing that PowerBlocks discontinued the 90-120 add on kit but these will be good enough for a while. Quality is excellent and to be expected from something that is made in America (Note if you don't have the Elite set other sets are NOT made in USA so be alert). Yes, maybe spending 550 dollars is a lot of money ( if you add the price of the 0-70 pound set with this) but having the ability to change weights with ease is worth it. PowerBlocks are a lot better built than Nautilus ones in my opinion anyway so spend the money and be set for a long time:)

The PowerBlock standard set that I purchased at a retail store was perfect for replacing several individual dumb bells in my home gym. I was so impressed by the product that I quickly ordered the expansion kit that ranged from 50 to 70 pounds. The expansion kit was a rip off. The kit did not fit properly and the construction felt sloppy in comparison to the original product.

These work great! I initially bought the dumbbells up to 50 lbs. I then added the weights up to 70 lbs. As you can see, they hardly take up any space. One thing I haven’t bought that I’d recommend is buying the stand. Search “powerblock stand” and you’ll see a couple options. $160 for a very durable stand. The only drawback on these dumbbells is if you are trying to do sets with short rests, and you are changing the weights in increments of 5 pounds. There are little metal cylinders inside you can remove to change weights in 5 lb increments (2.5 lb/dumbbell). It still just takes a few seconds though. Overall these are perfect for working out at home when you don’t have a whole workout room to store a full dumbbell rack.

Perfect fit on my powerblock.

I have had my Powerblocks for 20 years. Decided to up the weight from 50-70 pounds. Perfect fit! Recommend Powerblock brand over BowFlex adjustable dumbells!
