“The Power Block USA 90 70lbs has been a great edition to my home gym. Ease of use has made it my go-to piece of equipment for nearly every workout. Coupled with a creative exercise selection, these dumbbells have replaced nearly all of my other equipment (fixed dumbells, squat rack, barbell, and plates), which has saved me a ton of space. The color coordinated labels on the side and top make weight adjustment very intuitive, which save me a lot of time in terms of changing weight--making my workouts much shorter. While 70lbs is plently of weight for me now, it is also great to have the ability to expand up to 90lbs with an additional kit.”
“Once I figured out the nuances of how the pins work and how to stack the plates, it is a good product that works well. The instructions are minimal and the simple tasks of setting up to use are not intuitive”
“Pros:
Compact (doesn’t take up much space)
Block design does not impede use
Expandable from 50 to 90lbs
Cons:
Not easy to adjust in 2.5 or 5lb increments”
“These are great! I went for the powerblocks over the Bowflex version because I think these will be more reliable over the long haul. Grip feels great. They’re easily and highly adjustable. Also, I’d say very cost effective. Also love that I can up the weight in the future if needed. My father in law has had these for 15 years and loves them, so I followed in his footsteps. Don’t think I’ll regret it.”
“I have been a long time customer of power blocks. I had the sport 5.5 and now I have moved up to the elite 90s. They seem very well made and durable. The only negative I have to say are the pins that hold weight plates in place is plastic not steel like it use to be. Not sure how the plastic will hold up to years of lifting weights. Other than the pins, I have no complaints, just praise. Powerblocks are by far best adjustable weights.”
