My college has recently implemented… My college has recently implemented these for team lifting and they are very awkward and hard to deal with, while they do save space they make lifts which were once easy more difficult because of the strange block shape. Furthermore, the options for weight selections are very strange starting at 12.5 and adding weight on from there meaning we are left with options such as 67.5 and that makes selecting weight very difficult.

Purchased the Sport EXP Stage 1 along … Purchased the Sport EXP Stage 1 along with the sheet metal stand and power bench. I rate the dumbbells at 5 stars, excellent quality. I rate the sheet metal stand at 4 stars, has more flex than it should for the cost. Finally, I rate the power bench at 4 stars, solidly made however the design allows a bit of wobble side to side when lifting on it, both the seat and the back rest. Also, the design of the feet contribute to the wobbliness when used on carpet. Overall, very usuable and I recommend the system, very compact footprint and a lot of work can be done very quickly with this system.

Kettleblock Handle is Great I was a little hesitant about purchasing the Kettleblock handle, worried how functional it would be compared to an actually kettlebell, but I am very pleased. I love the handle. Only think that I was confused about was the weights it says is on the kettleblock for each color plate. They weren't adding up, but I figured it out.

Powerblock weights I like how the weights are interchangeable but I think the opening to grab the handle should be much wider. I also think the metal parts should be covered with rubber. When I do exercises that require one dumbell and you switch from one hand to the other, I cannot get my hand inside to grab the handle to switich hands and have cut my hand 3 times. I try grabbing the outside but hurts my hand holding onto all the metal bars.

Great company, good products. We've made three purchases from PowerBlock and had no issues whatsoever with billing, shipping, or the condition of the products. The U series are our favorite adjustables. They aren't a perfect design, I would give the U70's 4/5 stars, but they seem to be the best adjustable dumbbells out there, and they are extremely high quality, they work exactly as advertised.
