Every exercise, every minute, and every drop of sweat are valuable, and there’s no room for waste if you want to achieve results and create gains. That’s where PowerBlock adjustable dumbbells come in. Their innovative, world-class design was developed with one thing in mind: results. Engineered to feel good in your hand, adjust easily, and endure the toughest workouts, PowerBlocks are the first choice for anyone who values performance at the highest levels. Use them alone, or as a hybrid addition to your gym workouts, and start to tap into the power of PowerBlocks. The first brand to create adjustable dumbbells, PowerBlock was an industry pioneer. We challenged the world’s definition of how a dumbbell worked and what it should look like. Decades later, we’re the only expandable dumbbell trusted in elite training rooms and facilities. The PowerBlock Elite dumbbells are one of the highest-rated and best-selling sets of all time. PowerBlock uses only premium-quality materials. Thanks to their smart and ergonomic design, PowerBlocks are extremely tough and can withstand all sorts of regular gym use. Review: SOLID - I've had these for a little while now and really like them. I had tried one of the cheaper options that you rotate to engage different plates and they felt a little gimmicky. I've read tons of reviews on PowerBlocks and everyone loves them. Yes, the balance is a little weird, and adding incremental weight to the handles is both inconvenient and messes with the balance even more, but I see the unbalanced aspect as just something to get used to - and once you've accepted it, you can also tell yourself that you're working more stabilizer micro muscles. They also kinda suck for wrist curls, but they can be done with these weights. I'm mostly bouncing between 25 and 35 pounds right now depending on the exercise and find it really easy to switch the weights. They also make pretty decent kettle bells by gripping the bottom two bars of the frame - I pretty much just use this for goblet squats. I will also use one of the bottom handlebars when doing single leg Romainian deadlifts - it seems to be easier to balance with the weight hanging down just a little bit. These really shine for shoulder presses and inclined dumb bell presses, and hanging onto while doing things like lunges, they start to feel a little bulky for bicep curls and tricep extensions. I love how solidly they sit on the floor too - I even use them for step-downs. Pretty comfortable for adding weight to glute bridges and adding weight to crunches too. Between these, a pull-up bar (these are great for rows but I prefer to do them dangling from a bar ;), and a hyper-extension bench I have a nice little home gym setup here. Review: No gimmicky or questionable adjustment mechanisms, just a simple, safe, quality design. - Purchased these to share with my teenage son with limited space. I performed an enormous amount of research into adjustable dumbbells and ultimately chose these. Have absolutely no regrets. We switch back and forth between weight preferences easily and efficiently. And the range of incremental weight selection is the absolute best out there - largely due to the hidden 2.5 lb removeable handle inserts. If you can do simple math, you will easily understand. As I suggested in the title, I've no fear of these coming apart overhead or above toes. Even the highest rated, competing adjustable dumbbells on the market almost all have truly sketchy locking mechanisms counting on buttons or ratcheting dials that will absolutely break at some point, or on pins that will stop pinning, and a most also have wedge like shape designed in the weights meant to hold- but should and surely will always linger in one's mind that they may come apart if jostled ever so slightly the wrong way- or just an accidental bumping together of the two dumbbells above your chest. No thanks to that. I'll stick with these. Even in such a case as the slide/selector on these somehow breaking, it's simplistic design will easily allow for a safe replacement alternative to be purchased (or even made) instead of a complete rebuild or garbage toss like the others that count on too many internal, proprietary parts. Made of solid steel, really good welds, and again, K-I-S-S design. I also chose this model because there are weight upgrades/additions available- up to 90 lbs each. At my age, I doubt I will get back to that level, but good to know as my sons may be there sooner than later. ## Features - ADJUSTABLE DUMBBELLS SET: Elevate your fitness and performance with strength-training equipment that adjusts with you.

First of all they are very similar. They are both expandable to 90 lbs, Same increments and adder weights, closed handle design and five year limited warranty. Now here are the differences: 1. All Powerblock products are produced in China except for Powerblock Elite USA (not just the Elite EXP 2020 version). The country of origin will be engraved on the weight block. 2. The expandable weights (Stage 2 and Stage 3) are not fully compatible between Elite USA and Elite EXP 2020 version. Elite USA expansion Stage 2 and Stage 3 will not fit with Elite EXP 2020 version (50lbs powerblock is also known as Stage 1). So if you buy the Elite EXP 2020 version do not purchase from Powerblocks website expansion set. Only purchase from other vendors (like walmart and Dicks sporting goods). Elite EXP 2020 dimensions are bigger than the Elite USA so they will technically fit on the Elite USA, but it will not look right since they will look bigger on it. Of note: Many users answer this question stating that Elite EXP 2020 is not expandable and that is false. It is available from other vendors other than Powerblock website. Make sure you get the right one. 3. As I mention their sizes are slightly different. The Elite USA's are slightly smaller, but looks very similar otherwise. 4. The adder weight open/close locking mechanism are differenct. Elite USA has a manual lock mechanism while Elite EXP version 2020 has an auto lock mechanism. In my opinion these two powerblock weights are very similar and at similar price point I would choose the Elite USA (support local enconomy). Otherwise there is nothing wrong with choosing the better price of the Powerblocks. **Q: Are these dumbbells expandable? seems i am seeing mixed answers with this with some people saying its not, but title says exp which means expandable.** A: Yes, the Elite EXP is expandable up to 90 lbs. You can find the expansion kits on several of our authorized retailers websites such as dumbbellbuddy, incredibody, thenbenchpress.com or Gtech Fitness. **Q: Where i can buy the expadable weight for this 2020 model ?** A: Retailers that carry this product include Incredibody, thebenchpress.com, or Gtech Fitness. Thank you **Q: Did anyone received their Dumbbells in prestine condition or with some scuff marks and scratches in nearly all plates?** A: Just received mine, and every single metal plate is full of scratches. No happy at all. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ SOLID *by C***E on April 9, 2026* I've had these for a little while now and really like them.

One can’t not really call them dumbbells anymore given its unconventional shapes. After quite some research I set my eyes on them and the only competition I had was NordicTrack ones since I had been using their treadmill for a few months and loved it. However, the reviews did show NordicTrack ones are easy to break and this pair has longer warranty. They came well packed, one by FedEx and one by Amazon and the manual is very easy to follow and it also conspicuously asks you not to cut the ties on the handles. I strongly suggest you get the accompanying stand as well as it will make your life much easier unless you already have stand to accommodate them. It does make some squeaking sound while lifting it up but I have heard it’s normal for any adjustable weight. I could barely notice the sound or blocks moving while exercising with them. So far, I love them and the build seems to be very solid and hopefully the handles will last long, which are solid though made of plastic. The handles feel better than a tradition dumbbell one after you get used to it. I believe the weight actually is distributed more evenly. I also ordered the 50-70 lb extension (you have to get elite pro one) but later retuned it. I could lift 45lbs of flour or rice bag up easily one handed at supermarket so naturally think maybe I will be able to use the extension soon. Well, boy am I wrong! I guess may be due the distribution of the weight of these blocks or whatever reason, it may takes me a while to fully utilize the 50lbs with reasonable number of repetitions. I recommend “Ultimate Guide to Strength Training” or something like ifit trading program if you are not hiring a personable trainer. This way, you could prevent injury to yourself as they are heavy though you could select weights staring from five lbs. Overall, it’s very nice to have them and I expect they could help my strength training years ahead. ## Frequently Bought Together - PowerBlock Elite EXP Adjustable Dumbbells, Sold in Pairs, Stage 1, 5-50 lb.
