Frequently Asked Questions

Are adjustable dumbbells worth it?

Yes - they replace 15+ pairs of fixed dumbbells in one compact unit. A $500 adjustable set equals $1200+ in fixed dumbbells and saves huge space.

PowerBlock vs Bowflex - which is better?

PowerBlock is more durable with better long-term reliability. Bowflex SelectTech looks nicer and feels more like traditional dumbbells. Both are excellent.

How heavy should adjustable dumbbells go?

For most home trainers, 50 lbs per hand is enough. Serious lifters should look at sets going to 70-90 lbs, like the PowerBlock Elite EXP expandable system.
