Here’s why I consider it to be the best choice: It’s the one that I bought for myself, and I’m very happy with it.

#POWERBLOCK ADJUSTABLE WEIGHTS PRO#

I personally think the Pro EXP 90 Stage 3 is the best choice for serious lifters.

#POWERBLOCK ADJUSTABLE WEIGHTS SERIES#

This Urethane Series included the U-90 dumbbells, which went all the way up to 125 lbs with the U-90 Stage 4 Set. NOTE: There used to be the “Urethane Series” of PowerBlock dumbbells, which were discontinued in 2018 and replaced by the Pro Series. However, if you buy the Stage 3 Set from the get-go, you will save a little bit of money because it’s all in one purchase. This is a prudent strategy if you have a tight budget for your initial purchase.

You can always buy the Stage 1 version (5-50 lbs) or the Stage 2 version (5-70 lbs), then upgrade later by buying an expansion kit. Note that you don’t necessarily have to buy the heaviest version of the model (Stage 3) right away. You’ll want one of these sets with a max weight of 90 lbs even if you can’t lift such heavy weight yet. PowerBlock EXP : Expandable to 90 lbs with Stage 3 Set.

Sport EXP : Expandable to 90 lbs with Stage 3 Set.

Elite : Expandable to 90 lbs with Elite 90.

There are four of these heavy models, listed below: The heavy PowerBlock dumbbell models are all expandable to a max weight of 90 lbs per hand.

Sport 50, Pro 50, PowerBlock 50: All three of these sets adjust from 5-50 lbs per hand and are not expandable beyond that.

Pro 32: Adjusts from 4-32 lbs per hand not expandable beyond that.

Sport 24: Adjusts from 3-24 lbs per hand not expandable beyond that.

These lighter PowerBlock sets have maximum weight capacities ranging from 24 to 50 lbs: There are a few light to moderate capacity sets, which I do not recommend for any serious lifter. This, in my opinion, is the greatest benefit these dumbbells have over the Ironmaster set. Rapid adjustment is an essential feature for you if you plan on doing a lot of supersetting or some type of cross training (or if you’re just really impatient). It takes no more than 2 to 5 seconds to change the weights of the dumbbells. If fast weight adjustment is a top priority for you, then the PowerBlock dumbbells are your best option.
