Summary: Most versatile set of Dumbells, ever
Comment: I have owned this set of dumbells since 1998. Changing the resistance from one level to the next is as easy as removing the pins and setting the pins on the next level (by 10 lb increments). If you do workouts requiring finer adjustments, 2.5 or 5 lbs, then the handle has to be separated.

As you do a chest press with 75 lbs, it gets challenging, since the set gets wider. However, aside from that, bent rows, curls, shoulder presses, squats, triceps extensions are easy. Wrist curls are a little cumbersome but manageable.

The finish is relatively durable but over a period of 5 years, the enamel does chip off. However, it is not rusting, even after 10 years.

The handles are padded and comfortable.

These are not resistant to damage when dropped so you need complete control with these weights.

Given the modular design, it fits in a space of 2 shoeboxes.

I highly recommend this set. It WILL be the last set of dumbells you EVER buy again.

Summary: Great product
Comment: I think the powerblocks are the best dumbell product out there. Dumbell training is a great workout. I use mine all the time. Buy a folding bench (Hoist) and you will have a great workout set that doesn't take up very much room.


Editorial Reviews:

The Elite 5-90 x 5 lbs set comes with plates 1-8, and adjusts in 5 or 10 lb increments. The Elite 5-90 lb (per hand weight) equals/replaces 28 pairs of dumbbells, or 2,565 lbs of free weights while taking up the space of just 1 pair (90 lb dumbbell is just 16" in length) This set is expandable to 130 lbs per hand using the 8-11 Elite Big Block Kit. The dimensions of the Elite 90 are; 16"L x 6" W x 6" H. Ships in 4 boxes. Key Features: 1. Best compact design 2. Superior balance 3. Longest warranty 4. Most durable weight selection mechanism 5. Welded all steel weights 6. Expandable Sets 7. Heaviest weight sets available 8. Gym and bar accessory compatibility 9. Saves time, space and money 10. Manufactured in the USA PowerBlock is the most compact dumbbell available. At any weight, you will not find a shorter more compact dumbbell than PowerBlock. This means a dumbbell with the weight more concentrated around your hand and makes the dumbbell easier to balance and control.
