PowerBlock Classic Adjustable Dumbbells Offer Efficient Lifting
Last Updated on February 27, 2018 by Cassie Lyons
We all know the benefits of staying physically fit, but after a long day of work one of the hardest things to do is go to the gym. After all, you have to drive to the gym, wait to share equipment with other members, and then drive home. For some this can take more than an hour out of their day. Instead of joining a gym, consider building up your own home gym. There is no better place to start than with the PowerBlock Classic Adjustable Dumbbell Set. The Powerblock Adjustable Dumbbells gives you a total of 90 lbs of weight resistance training in two convenient packages. The weight sets offer individuals up to 45 lbs of resistance in each hand.
With five pound weight increases starting at five pounds and maxing out at 45 lbs. The PowerBlock adjustable dumbbell set is an entire gym of weights in two compact packages. Switching weights is easy thanks to the selector pin, and with padded grips your hands and wrists will be protected during your workout. The PowerBlock adjustable weight dumbbells does have competitors in the industry, most notably the Bowflex SelectTech adjustable dumbbells.
While the PowerBlock set is less expensive by roughly $55, the Bowflex set offers a higher weight maximum and greater increment flexibility at low weights. While the vast majority of users were very pleased with their Power Block Adjustable Dumbbell Set, a few online reviewers did point out some disturbing faults with the design of the set. This group was quick to point out that the selector pin can easily slide out of the dumbbells when used during certain exercises, posing a serious safety hazard.
The Positives
Pair of adjustable dumbbell weights for efficient, cost-effective strength training. Adjustable dumbbells set adjusts from 5 to 45 pounds in 5-pound increments.

Padded handle for wrist protection and has limited 10-year warranty.
The Negatives
Some reviewers said the selector pin can slide out of the dumbbells when used. One reviewer felt the adjustable free weights were clunky and not very ergonomically appealing.
So What’s The Scoop?
The PowerBlock Classic Dumbbell Set would make a valuable addition to any home gym, but as with any weight set caution should be exercised during their use.
