“More compact than expected (good thing) and well balanced. Able to do pressing movements unencumbered. TPR grip is also fine and comfortable, given I'm used to steel, knurling grips. The minimal noise between the plates is not bothersome nor does it interfere with the lifts. Always have metal playing while lifting anyways. Very pleased and thankful to be able to do dumbbells movements beyond my 90 pound set of dumbbells.”
“I absolutely love these weights! I’ve been using my Powerblock Elite 90s for a few years now practically every single day, and those have been amazing, but I was starting to feel like I needed heavier than 90 lbs per side on certain exercises. The Pro 125s feel like even better built
than the Elites, and also the fact that they can be further expanded up to 175 is nice for future needs. Also, the stand they come with is great; it feels sturdy and the casters are heavy-duty, so the whole setup can be easily wheeled around over the carpet in my home gym room. Even my 125lb wife has no trouble moving them out of the way when needed. Shipping was also quick; I ordered them on a Saturday and had them at my door in TX on the following Thursday. The $1800 price tag was a little hard to swallow at first, but I’m glad I finally decided to pick these up and can already feel like I’ve gotten stronger in my flat and incline chest press, squats, and deadlifts from the benefit of the added weight. The weight adjustability is somewhat limited in the lower increments, so I do still use my Elites for the lighter weight exercises and these for the heavier ones. Overall, I’m very happy with these though and would definitely recommend these if you’re needing more than their other dumbbell systems can go.”
