"Save 40% on PowerBlock Dumbbells and Kits"

When considering adjustable dumbbell sets, Bowflex isn't your only choice. PowerBlock offers a compelling alternative at a more budget-friendly price. Right now, Woot! (an Amazon-owned platform) is running a special promotion on the PowerBlock EXP Stage 1 (5 to 50lb) adjustable dumbbell set, slashing the price to just $239.99. This deal makes it a whopping $149 less than a comparable set of Bowflex SelectTechs. If you're looking for heavier options, PowerBlock provides expansion kits that can boost the weight to 70 or even 90 pounds per dumbbell. Both the Stage 2 (50 to 70lb) and Stage 3 (70 to 90lb) kits are also on sale at Woot! for $119.99 each. Amazon Prime members enjoy free shipping, while others will face a flat rate of $6, which is quite reasonable given the package will exceed 100 pounds.

PowerBlock Adjustable Dumbbells (up to 90lbs per Dumbbell)

PowerBlock EXP Stage 1 (5 to 50lbs) Adjustable Dumbbell Set

• $409.00 save 41% - $239.99 at Woot!
• Stage 2 Expansion Kit (50 to 70lb) for $119.99
• Stage 3 Expansion Kit (70 to 90lb) for $119.99
• PowerBlock PowerMax Stand for $119.99
• PowerBlock Travel Bench for $119.99

Each dumbbell in the base PowerBlock EXP Stage 1 set is adjustable from 10 pounds up to 50 pounds, with increments of 5 pounds easily achieved by turning a dial. The compact design means the plates are neatly contained, requiring significantly less space than a traditional rack of individual dumbbells. While a stand isn't included, you can currently find one on sale, but if you're watching your spending, any sturdy stand or table will suffice.

A standout feature of the PowerBlocks is their scalability. When you're ready to lift beyond 50 pounds, you won't need to invest in a whole new set. The expansion kits allow you to incrementally increase the weight to 90 pounds, offering a cost-effective solution for your growing strength needs.

The quality of these PowerBlock dumbbells is impressive. Having personally used them, I can attest that they are as solid and well-constructed as the Bowflex SelectTech. Most components are made of metal, not plastic, ensuring durability. The rubber-coated handles provide a secure grip, and the weight adjustment dial operates smoothly and intuitively. PowerBlock supports their product with a five-year warranty, which is a testament to their confidence in the product's longevity.

Free weights like these are ideal for home workouts, especially when space is at a premium. With just a pair of dumbbells, you can perform a variety of exercises targeting nearly every muscle group in your upper and lower body. Combine these with cardio and bodyweight exercises like pushups, burpees, or squats, and you might find you don't need additional equipment.
