PowerBlock Pro EXP Stage 1
The PowerBlock Pro EXP is the fastest-adjusting dumbbell on the market, using a selector pin system that allows weight changes in seconds. The Pro series features urethane-coated steel plates for quieter operation and better protection than the standard painted versions.
Quality & Materials
Urethane-coated steel weight plates. The selector pin is made of a high-strength composite, though the handle frame contains some plastic components.
Evidence & Testing
The 'Block' design has been a staple in home gyms for over 30 years with high consumer satisfaction and proven longevity in the field.
Brand Transparency
Highly transparent regarding expansion capabilities (Stage 2 and 3) and weight increments; clearly labeled weight charts.
Value Assessment
Excellent value for those with limited space; replaces 16 pairs of dumbbells in the footprint of one.
Why Not Alternatives?
Significantly more compact than the Ironmaster and faster to change weights. It is more durable than the Bowflex SelectTech 552 due to the steel plate construction versus plastic-heavy internal mechanisms.
