Review Of Power Block Dumbbell Weight Sets
The Power Block Dumbbell is described by some as the best investment anyone can make in their own home gym. I fully concur. The power block dumbbell is unique in that it provides an adjustable weight set system so that the user can perform a series of exercises without changing grip.
Dumbbells or free weight exercises are in my opinion the best bet for improved muscle growth and strength development because they encourage the use of stabilising muscles not required with the more traditional weight machines. Dumbbells often allow a greater range of motion and more control which requires more effort and concentration. These are the reasons it is easier to bench press 180lb than it is to dumbbell press 90lb in each hand.
Some of the advantages of the Powerblock dumbbells over conventional dumbbells are as follows:
- Compact storage - the weight set stands on its own stand taking up about as much space as a small chair.
- Saves time - the weight can be changed quickly with a single adjustable pin.
- Saves money - the Power Block dumbbell costs a fraction of the price of an equivalent set of dumbbells.
- 100% made in usa dumbbells - don't spend more than you have to on dumbbells imported from overseas.
- Square shape - giving the user easier to control more balanced weights compared to a regular dumbbell.
- 10 year warranty - the powerblock is designed tough
The only disadvantage of dumbbells is that you still need some pieces of exercise equipment to perform certain exercises like a bench for bench presses. However the inventors of powerblock have thought of this as well. You can buy a travell bench which folds away for easy storage. Brilliant!!
