Powerblock- The #1 Adjustable Dumbbell Set

Out of the dozens of adjustable dumbbells on the market, Powerblock offers the best, hands down. The Powerblock adjustable dumbbells are the most durable, easiest to handle, and cost a fraction of what traditional hex dumbbells cost. Also, they’re the only company out there that offers multiple adjustable dumbbell sets allowing you to choose just the right set for you. But let’s throw out their one drawback right away. They’re one of the more expensive out there. But with Powerblocks I truly believe that we can say “you get what you pay for.” If they’re within your budget they’ll be well worth it, even though they are more expensive than the Weider Powerswitch or the Lifecore Dumbbells.

For the Powerblock U-90 Stage I set, which goes from 2.5 to 50 pounds, adjustable in 2.5 pound increments, you pay $379 plus $59 shipping- a total of $438. That’s 825 pounds of weight replacing 16 pairs of dumbbells. You pay $0.53/lb. The Powerblock Sport 5.0 set goes from 5-50 lbs, adjustable in 5 lb. increments and is $299. So price wise these still kill the traditional hex dumbbell set. There stands cost $100, but aren’t required. So total you’d be starting out at $300 to $500. A superior aspect of the Powerblock design is the lack of moveable parts in the system. You’re not turning a knob or lifting a spring loaded bar to adjust the weights. This adds to their durability and ease of use. Switching between different weights is a piece of cake with these; you simply pull out a silicone flex pin that divides the weights, slip it back in to a different position, and you’re off lifting again.

Also, you can purchase additional weight packages and add them to your set, increasing each bell to 125lbs if you want! No other dumbbell out there does this. Adding this weight will allow you to work with lower rep sets, which will allow stronger people to actually rip their muscles and add bulk. 50 pounds usually isn’t enough weight for more well-seasoned athletes while doing back, leg, and shoulder exercises. The Powerblock adjustable dumbbell is also more compact than the traditional hex dumbbell (see picture below of different 30 lb. weights) and they come with a lifetime warranty. Again, they come with a LIFETIME WARRANTY. So the Powerblock dumbbell set optimizes your dollar, your space, ease of use, and will last you a very long time. Definitely check these out.
