  • this are the real deal

  • I just bought these from someone off of craigslist for 380. Best dumbells ever!

  • Thanks for the vid man I have the blowflex 552 but need heavier ones now thinking of going with these, are those made of metal?

  • I have some of these....Great Product. Much more durable than the Bowflex type

  • Very informative video!

    I am not sure why I have to watch you work out for the last 2 mins but thanks for posting!

  • im really thinking about buying these, but i wish they were free haha

  • How do they feel when you lift with them.Do they feel even,meaning does the weight feel evenly distributed?Some say they feel ''off'' and uneven.Thanks...

  • thanks for the review. Q: can you use the other grips on the powerblocks?

  • This pretty much answered every question I had about these weights. Thanks.

  • Great video!

  • Powerblocks are great they never break. You'll never need dumbells again. Yes cost a lot but go price a set that adjusts to 130 pounds by 2.5 pounds at a time and you'll see the powerblocks are 1/4 of the price. Oh and Bowflex are PLASTIC and the weight plates crack and thier at all times 17 inches long!!!!!

  • Hey where did you but these?

  • how long have you had these for? are they still hding up?

  • good video description and review!

  • I want to buy a set of these but I don't understand the difference between sport stage I stage 2 and stage 3. whene I buy stage 3 do I have the possibility to lift 5 from half a pound until a 130pound? or do I have to buy stage 1,2 and 3 for a full weight range?

  • can you do a dumbbell clean and press or one arm snatches with these?

  • They look nice and stuff but too expensive. Besides normal dumbells look badass hah. Thanks for the video.

  • these dumbells r so ugly...its like if they belong in a robocop movie or ghost busters hah

  • If i purchase the 50 pound dumbells from Dick's sporting goods could I later purchase extensions if i needed to?

  • Picked these jons up (you review, one of a few, helped me decide). Glad I did. I do mostly this mixed with my Bowflex and Bodyelastics T.O. (Terrell Owens) Bands for muscle confusion/routine change in my oeverall Powerblocks workouts. Great vid., brotha. Thanks for posting.

  • your voice sounds kinda annoying and yea we know that powerblock are dumbells haha?

  • The 130s are a bitch!

  • nice video man. do these dumbbells allow you the same range of motion as regular dumbbells? can you easily grab them w/both hands for pullovers and other two hand exercises?

  • i just had a question about how to adjust it i am 15 and i see the ones that max out to fifty but i want the ones that go to 90 how can you get to go to 35 pounds and i was wondering what is the price range because i just saw it today and i want to get some

  • @dakcomcast Well, one great thing I just found out today is that these are upgradeable. Meaning, you can get the cheaper 9.0 Stage 1 model and later down the line, say 6 months or a year later when 50lbs isn't enough, you can just get the Stage 2 add-on that allows them to go all the way to 59 kgs per dumbell (around 130 lbs). And even then there's a third add-on!

  • Good video! I was thinking about getting a set as it would free up space in my house where all my adjustable (rusting) weights are.

  • thanks for the demo. saw them at the gym and screwed around with them for twenty minutes before i gave up. just wondering if youve had any problems with the pin falling out. spanx

  • cant decide between these and the select techs. I'm doing the p90x and I'd rather just have adjustable weights

  • @lynch390 get these the selecttech have plastic dials and break easily

  • @nam1971 I would agree, totally. These do the exact same things, and probably then some for a much cheaper price.

  • @lynch390 I use the Powerblock 9.0 for P90X. They are cheaper, easier to use and have a smaller footprint. Shoulder exercises are better with the Powerblocks as they get smaller when you drop the weight. Select Techs are just as long no matter what weight you use. Powerblocks are the same size as a 35 lb six sided dumb bell.

  • Thanks for the video. I just go home with my new Sport 9.0s

  • Thanks for the video review, I will be picking up a set of the Sport 9.0 Stage I's soon.

  • I bought a pair of 9.0 stage I, which is 50 lbs. per each dumbell. I can do almost everything with these dumbells but when I did biceps, the pins were coming off the weights. When I put the pins on the top, I noticed that weights were coming off of bottom. I had to stop in the middle of my biceps workout to push in the weights or pins from sliding off. That is the only down side of this dumbells, other than that everything else is so easy and fast.

  • for real? i've had no problems with mine and i just got them a little over a week. when you push the pin all the way in, it stays there. and what do you mean when you put the pin on the top that the weights come off the bottom????  it's supposed to do that. do you know how to use the powerblocks??? did you buy them new or used?

  • oooh shit his hands are huge

  • i have powerblocks, they are awsome. I dont really care about other adjustable dumbells.

  • i just got the sportblock 9.0 stage 1. it's freakin awesome!!!!!!!!!!! screw everything else. powerblocks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Piece of Crap?? Where have you seen or handled the Titans. They are hard to actually get a look at. You sound like you have handled them since you called them a piece of crap. I lifted with the PB while deployed overseas and they worked OK. I had a hard time switching the pin real fast though. I currently lift lighter weight and have decreased my intervals to 30 seconds so 65lbs works out right for me. The Titans are the most solids, fastest switching dumbbells I have ever used.

  • that's great. you can stay lifting 65 lbs for the rest of you life. yeah, those titans sound real great. not!!!!

  • The Titan Adjustable weight set only goes up to 65 lbs. Why would you buy that piece of crap when you can get the 90lbs set from Powerblock.

  • Take a look at the Titans. Very simple and fast. All American. I can't believe how many lagit lifters are buying powerblocks or selecttech dumbbells. It must be that people just don't know about them. It did take me 6 weeks of research before I bought the Titans and I almost did buy the PB's. Glad I held off. The Titans are the best on the market!

  • yeah, but you can't up the weight. so why spend all that money if you can lift more???

  • Im just askin man do the dumbells come with the stand? also Are they a little scary to hold over your head? Or are they sturdy as shit? I was going to buy the bowflex 1090 but man they are 700 bucks. Are these a better alternative? get back to me

  • they don't come with a stand.

    they are very sturdy and u can do any workout u want

    they are way better then the bowflex one for sure

    they also have a 10 year warrenty

    trust me buy the powerblock,they are amazin

    good video review,thanks

  • Awesome video! Ignore the haters.

  • good idea, hate how it locks ur hand in tho

  • STFU dude, your wasting your time being mad. You posted 5 ignorant comments. You don't need to be banging any weights...you need to be banging those school books LMFAO! If you could afford them, you would have them clown!!!

  • "Step my game up"

  • i dont even know what this gay shit is. Grow sum balls go lift some tyres. fuck u bigger guys going to purchase 90-130 Fuck u gay arse Block crap. people try make 2 much money of crap these days

  • Weight is weight motha fucka, if you dont know that then your obviously a lil scrawny bitch! Ppl like myself and ondre, know our shit, so that why we seem to be bulking up, and look at you... Wasting all your time talking shit while you should be working out buddy.....

  • A small vidoe clip? Its 6minuets 59 seconds. aka 7min of crap

  • /yawn. this is gay. hinestly get some real steal and pump it, fuck digy master 17lb crap watever/ pump iron not 10101010000000011000000000011

  • any one know the track at the end where the guys liftin weights?

  • So many tears...by 2Pac

  • Also I've heard these break if you drop them.

  • @JoshCCFC09:

    Thanks man. I will buy the Dumbbells instead.

  • Powerblocks are way better than dumbells. They save tons of space, and cheaper than an entire rack of dumbbells

  • Than don't drop them!!

  • Well to your first comment they dont take loads of space unless you get a a proper adjustable dumbell which you can buy weight discs to put on, secondly if you work out properly and your really tired you may need to drop them!

  • No one NEEDS to drop dumbbells. In fact if you are dropping dumbbells you probably are NOT working out properly.

  • Exactly, I must agree!!!

  • @ondre200 YOUR A FUCKING IDIOT...YOUTUBE JAY CUTLER BODY BUILDER AND YOU'LL SEE HOE Mr. OLYMPIA DROPS WEIGHTS, YOU SAYING THAT A THREE TIME Mr. OLYMPIA DOESN'T K NOW HOW TO WEIGHT LIFT CAUSE HE DROPS WEIGHTS..........ASS

  • @ondre200 YES. Stupid boneheads trying to impress. It's a dangerous habit.

  • @frase32 People drop dumbells on the mat after they are done doing dumbell bench press or dumbell flys.

  • You cant do all the excercises you want with powerblocks, whereas I can with dumbells, so what makes powerblocks better?

  • Thanks for the tip. I am planning on buying powerblocks , could you tell me which exercises are not suitable to do with powerblocks? I am deciding to buy dumbbells instead maybe...

  • Millitary press, wrist curls a lot of excercises are restricted. Tbh how these save you money I dont know, there like £300 quid or something yet your buying pointless weight you might now even be able to lift? Whats wrong with a standard york dumbell and being able to add weight on when you want to and when you have the money...?

  • I think you should check out the bowflex selecttech dumbells, more range of motion and less restriction, havent tried them myself but they seem like a better system and easier to use

  • Nah the powerblock is better than the select tech, select tech is a lot wider and if you have 20lbs on the select deck it will be just as wide as if you had 52lbs on the select tech, also on the select tech u have to adjust the dials on both sides of each dumbell as well as there being complainst about the plates coming off or ppl having trouble pulling them up smoothly from the base. The select tech does look cooler though but overall the powerblock is the best adjustable dumbbell system.

  • I'm 40, starting to workout again. I just ordered block dumbells before seeing this. I didn't know they go this high. Mine only go up to 25 per each dumbell. Am I whimp? What is a good starting weight for dumbell workout?

  • A comfortable weight that you can complete a set with, everybodys different so its hard for me to judge how much you can lift, what ever is comfortable tbh, if it gets too easy up the weight.

  • Great video. Thanks!

  • hey do you use a bench? cause im trying to find a good heavy weight bench for heavy lifts. i likes my powerblocks

  • Workin out with this is like doin yr math hw

  • wtf is he doing at 6:29 lol

  • lat pulldowns behind the head?

  • Well I just heard that's actually a bad exercise to do them that way and there's no need son

  • yeah i heard that too. but ive heard it go both ways. one guy i used to train with swore by them (also behind the neck military presses). i superset them on back day with reg front lat pulldowns and it def makes for a better pump. that said, the guy in the video is leaning way too far forward and going pretty fast, and that can wreck your shoulders, which is why ppl dont like that exercise. i think if you stay light enough and go good with your form youll be alright. and take your glucosamine ;)

  • Nice explanation on this set. I especially like the groove music you got at the last 2 minutes with the work out. Thanks!

  • thinking about gettin these, lookin at $1800AU though a little steep but they look worth it.

  • Excellent video my nigger, I'll be getting a set now :)

  • Could someone tell what's better, Bowflex Selecttech or Elite Powerblock?

  • Comment removed

  • Anyone who has ever lifted any serious weight would 9/10 times tell you that the powerblocks are better. When I was originally looking at gettting adjustables even my girlfriend could tell that the Bowflex's were garbage compared to the Powerblocks. You are limited in 2 movements though, behind the neck double tricep extensions and wrist curls. Other than that they are perfect and built to last. BUY THE POWERBLOCKS or at the very least try both out.

  • ive always wanted a set of these but shit there expensive.

  • I got bowflex they got up to 52.25 lbs i am 18 and thats not enough for me anymore i am a pretty big boy, i think i need to get the ones that go up to 130 lbs

  • Ondre,

    Great review on the powerblocks. Time to save some cash. I keep purchasing static dumbbells but as I get stronger, it's starting to get real expensive.

  • I have the Sport 9.0 set that goes from 5 to 90 pounds per hand. It's hands-down THE best decision I ever made on strength training equipment.  I just love the ability to fit the equivalent of that many dumbbells in such a small space.

  • thinkin of getting some of these but what are they like when doing curls? also can you use just one weight with 2 hands? eg. like doing overhead triceps?

  • depends on the size of your hands and how much weight youve got on to be honest,

    i find them great, as you can do everything with them,

  • EVENPARITY - 2 Handed behind the neck tricep extentions and chest pullovers are the only exercises you cant do with these things, wrist curls are SLIGHTLY impared. I have been working out for 8 years now and touched some heavy weights, Powerblocks work great and there built to last, not like the Nuatilus/Bowflex garbage dumbells.

  • nice, i like to stick to regular old fashioned dumbbells, dont you love the feeling of those last 2-3 extra reps that just make the muscle feel like it ripping threw your skin? i love it

  • ay bruh you play any ball in high school

  • Good Job Man! I got mine 2 years ago...and I love them! They are always handy whenever you want to workout at home!!! BTW I just ordered the extensions so I can get them up to 130 lbs! Thanks for the Vid!
