“The Powerblock Dumbbells are nice to use, I do need to get use to them as the extra 2.5lb weights need be be balanced. The only thing I might ask to hopefully improve on is a smaller diameter grip (standard barbell/deadlift bar size grip) and maybe an indentation on the grip so that your hand will be centered on the grip (which is important to help balance the dumbbell when doing pressing movements)”
“Very happy I purchased these. After lots of research and recommendations, I settled on these as the first piece of gear in my home gym. I couldn't be happier and will be recommending them to any who ask.
I expect I'll be buying additional powerblock gear to expand my set as the budget allows!”
“I absolutely love our new pro 100 exp knurled dumbbells. I’m thrilled to be ably to quickly and easily switch weights or do drop sets. The wide range of weight options makes almost every exercise possible and gives me plenty of room to progress. I don’t know how we went so long without them!”
“These weights are amazing! Switching is easy. I find myself more motivated and working out more consistently than I ever have with a gym membership. My only complaint I have is the trouble I am having figuring out how to go from 20 or 30 pounds to 22.5 or 32.5 pounds. I think you have to go from 30 to 35 and then you can go to 37.5. If I am mistaken, please let me know and I will definitely update the review.”
“The slide lock plastic horse shoe is very flimsy. I can see that I will need to order a backup right away. The fit and finish of the blocks themselves is great. I would like you to send me the link to be able to purchase the slide locks”
Thank you for your review, Meade! We're glad to hear you appreciate the fit and finish of the blocks. We understand your concern about the slide lock, also known as a selector pin.
Our selector pins may feel flimsy but they are made of a specific blend of heavy duty materials designed specifically for your dumbbells. If you want to purchase a backup selector pin you can find it at the link below.
