POWERBLOCK Elite EXP Adjustable Dumbbells, Sold in Pairs

Product Information

They’re expandable up to 175 pounds, have a knurled steel grip (something none of the home gym models offer), and are made with stainless steel. Since they’re not color-coded, the corresponding amount of weight is printed on the actual indicator band, which makes changing the weight straight forward. Furthermore, the Sports 24 and 50 feature 3lb and 5lb weight increments (respectively) which are slightly larger compared to the Elites and Sport EXP.

PowerBlock Elite Dumbbells | Home Use Dumbbells

I’m a advanced beginner trying to graduate to deadlifts and live in an area where they don’t sell PowerBlocks. If you choose not to settle in full by the end of the non-payment period, the amount of credit remaining will be spread across the remaining term of 42 months with interest charged at a representative APR of 19. Their purpose is to allow you to achieve smaller weight increments when progressing between the heavier weight block settings. But with so many different movements, how do you know which ones to include in your workout program? The auto-lock feature is a design evolution from the manual lock mechanism that all PowerBlock models with adder weights had in the past.The Sport 50 only makes sense for lifters who don’t have any need to do dumbbell exercises with more than 50 lbs per hand — either now or in the future. The Pro EXP has more space inside the handle than any other home-use model thanks to the combo of an open handle design with a wedge handle shape. The color bands on the rails correspond with the weight chart on the handle to show what will be selected. You noted that the Pro EXP is compatible with the kettlebell handle but I can only find the handle for the U series. That said, I don’t want to spend a lot of time setting up my workouts or changing out weight plates.

While you don’t get micro-adjustments, the adjustment process does become faster because you only need to move the selector pin.

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.
