Power Block Sport Exp

Loved these things. Incredible if you are looking for something space saving that gives you a large amount of dumbbell range. Tough to use if you train with a partner or spouse.

I bought these on sale on Woot.com a few years ago along with the 90lb expansion pack. Value wise, you're going to be hard-pressed to find adjustable dumbbells this heavy for any cheaper, and they get the job done. Some movements can be awkward due to the shape, but there are plenty of variations of lifts that these are more than adequate to perform. I definitely agree with the comments regarding the grip; if you can replace the handle with Average Joe handles, these become significantly better. You'll definitely experience some clanging during certain movements when the weight blocks hit each other, but it's a pretty minor annoyance and doesn't affect any lifts. I don't see any reason to replace these in my gym, as they save me a ton of space and I don't foresee myself needing dumbbells heavier than 90lbs. If you're looking for solid, inexpensive dumbbells that take up a small footprint and can deal with some of the quirks that come with these, I highly recommend the PowerBlock Sport.

I started with these and if they went heavier I would still have them. I loved them. Very durable and easy to adjust.

I like Powerblocks, but I understand the detractors. People complain about the cage and I guess if you have massive hands that could be an issue, but it's never been a challenge for me. I think people don't like the aesthetic, which I guess is fair. I've had mine for about 6 years and I've bought the expansion packs up to 90lbs. They are a little oversized when you get that heavy with them, but I would imagine most adjustable db's are that way. I know these have gone out of favor due to some recent additions to the market, but Powerblocks have been around for decades for a reason. They're tough, durable, and affordable. I don't drop mine. Sometimes, my second expansion pack with stick, but it's a minor inconvenience.

Got these on sale from Woot. Solidly built and the best value you can get for 90 lbs dumbbells. Saves a lot of space in my single car garage gym!

Got these Powerblocks on a bundle with the extensions till 90lbs and their Max stand. They work great, as expected for Powerblock dumbbells. I also upgraded the handles to the Average Joe handles (you should too!).

I got these a couple years ago from the PowerBlock site. They came with the dumbbell stand and the extensions to go up to 90 lbs. They are built great and are adjustable from 5-90lbs by 2.5lb increments. The stand is also fantastic. I did hate the original handles so I replaced them with some knurled Average Joe handles and it made them so much better. The only hang up I have with them now is that I have large hands and the cage is pretty small. My hand fits but I do hit my knuckles at times and some movements are weird bc my hand takes up most of the cage. The cage to hand size ratio is the only reason I upgraded my dumbbell setup.

The second set of adjustable dumbbells I’ve owned. Previously I owned the Bowflex 552. I bought the 90 lb Powerblock set from Woot for $430. They are compact, heavy, switch weights quickly, and resist drop damage. The only two downsides are about the adder weights. First downside - no way to make a “x2.5” weight (12.5, 22.5, etc). Second downside - the adders are off center so the weight will feel uneven sometimes, and the adders can clunk a bit. These gripes mostly apply to isolation / bodybuilding type movements - for push and pull type movements it is less noticable. Overall a very good value, and since my training isn’t dumbbell heavy I’m pretty satisfied with them.
