PowerBlock Pro 50 Adjustable Dumbbells, Sold in Pairs, 5-50 lb. Dumbbells, Durable Steel Build, Innovative Workout Equipment, All-in-One Dumbbells

I used this weight set all deployment when space was at a premium. I highly recommend these not only for their quality, but also ease of use.

I picked this product because i already have the 48 pounds i just upgraded up 100 pounds.Why did you pick this product vs others?:The items came perfect and well packaged. Previous, I ordered this from third party seller and came damaged. I recommend buying directly from Amazon. Good experience highly recommend, I’m happy!

Others have commented on the comfort and usability of this set, with which I concur. Note that, as of June 2024, the list of possible weight combinations for these dumbbells is incorrect, both on Amazon and the manufacturer's website. 19 different weights per dumbbell are possible: every weight combination between 2.5 and 50 lbs in 2.5 lb increments. It is this capability that caused me to choose this set over several others, since for certain exercises, this degree of fine-grained control is valuable to me. The PowerBlock dumbbells that have 10 lb plates are not quite so configurable; settings like 22.5 or 32.5 lbs are not possible with those. They are possible with this set. Note, however, that this set cannot be expanded beyond 50 lbs. That's not an issue for me -- I'd rather have the more flexibility configurability.

these weights are good but i would have chosen a different model if i could go back in time. these are unable to expand past 50 pounds and after 2 plus years of seriously working out my muscles have outgrown them. i can easily press more than 50 pounds for chest, traps and shoulders unless it's lateral raises. so now they're mostly for bicep work etc. wish i would have got the pro exp series instead especially if you become serious about working out. they will be fine at first but for me after 2 years i have outgrown them. they really should have made an option to expand the pro 50

Easy to use - feel more durable than other adjustable dumbbells I've used.

As someone who is a beginner in weights, I chose to purchase the Pro 50 as it has a minor advantage over the Pro 50 EXP or the Sport/USA models.The Pro 50 goes from 5LB to 50LB in 2.5LB increments allowing for a very steady increase in weights. This is because each additional plate adds 5LB. On the other hand, the EXP model needs to save space in order to accommodate the extra 40LBs of expansion plates. This means that each plate is a 10LB increase. Because of the adder weights and the weight of the handle itself, this is not a large issue but it means you be unable to exercise with 12.5/22.5/32.5/42.5 weights and instead jump directly to 15/25/35/45.Additionally, the Pro models have plates that are coated. This results in less noise when the product is in use and also helps to protect surfaces where you may place the dumbbells on. Even with the coating, there is still an audible noise when you use the dumbbells. The adder weights do rattle a fair amount and the weights do make a slight bumping sound against the handle. Despite that, it's still quiet enough for me to use in the dead-end of night without waking up the other inhabitants of the house.One extremely minor downside to the PowerBlock over other dumbbells from competitors like Bowflex is the increased space required to operate. With Bowflex or other dumbbell adjustment systems, you can twist/spin a part of the product to change the weights. PowerBlock requires a specific amount of clearing on the sides of both dumbbells so you can use the selector pin. While this is more compact than having an entire set of actual dumbbells, this means that you can't have it flush against the wall on one side.

Very poor quality, doesn’t feel stable, for the high price

I am 66 years old and decided to invest in my health by purchasing these adjustable dumb bells. In the past, I have used "Go Fit" stretch tubing for my work out. I used them for years.I am very happy with my decision to go with these adjustable weights. 50 lbs. was all I needed. The exercise benefits with these weights are so much better than the stretch tubes. In addition to the weights I purchased the Power Block Sports Table and a stand for the weights. All the Power Block equipment is first rate. Along with the equipment, they have great videos showing you how to exercise (I enjoy the 24 minute full Body workout video by Clark Bartram). They have many other videos showing you what exercises to do with their equipment.I had to call their support team on the first day of receiving Pro50. The team was professional and very helpful. I felt like I was part of company that cared about their customers and was quality oriented. I highly recommend the PowerBlock Pro 50 and any product that this company sells.
