description PowerBlock Pro Series Overview
The PowerBlock Pro Series offers a unique space-saving design with a central core that holds the weight plates. This system allows for a wide range of weights (9-90 lbs per dumbbell, expandable to 150 lbs) while minimizing the footprint. The plate-locking mechanism provides a secure and stable feel. While the adjustment process is slightly slower than dial-a-weight systems, the robust construction and expandable design make it a favorite among serious lifters and commercial gyms.
A solid choice for those prioritizing durability and expandability.
help PowerBlock Pro Series FAQ
How heavy can PowerBlock Pro EXP dumbbells get?
The standard Pro EXP set runs from 5 to 50 pounds per hand. A Stage 2 kit raises the maximum to 70 pounds, and Stage 3 raises it to 90 pounds per dumbbell.
Can every PowerBlock Pro Series model use expansion kits?
No, the Pro EXP models accept compatible expansion kits, but fixed models such as the Pro 32 are not expandable. Buyers should match the exact model and generation because PowerBlock expansion kits are not universally interchangeable.
How do you make small weight changes on the PowerBlock Pro EXP?
The selector pin changes the outer plate stack, while removable adder weights inside the handle provide smaller adjustments. This system is compact, but changing the adder weights takes an extra step compared with moving only the selector pin.
Are PowerBlock Pro dumbbells awkward for presses and curls?
Their enclosed handle and rectangular plate stack feel different from a conventional round dumbbell, particularly during two-handed exercises. The urethane-coated Pro plates are quieter than bare metal, but lifters who want a traditional shape often also consider NÜOBELL or Ironmaster.
