Are the powerblock classic dumbbells expandable to heavier weight? Hi guys, I am seriously considering picking up a pair of these dumbbells Does any one know if they are expandable to heavier weight?

Not this Powerblock model. The only thing you can do is purchase a 20 pound handle to replace the 5 pound handle. Effectively makes the range 5-60 pounds. Check out the powerblock website - http://www.powerblock.com/blocks.html

I have been able to get used to the slightly odd shape of these dumbbells without any major issues. There are a couple of exercises where finding a comfortable grip on the dumbbell can take a second to figure out (such as tricep extensions), but the convenience of being able to "dial in" your ideal dumbbell weight in mere seconds with a few clicks totally outweighs the bulk. (no pun intended!)

Personally I think these are much more heavy duty than the 9154 model workout adding weight to the product. You still get great leverage to cut big limbs and can handle small ones with ease too. I've done a lot to mine and never worry about them breaking

Why wouldn't they be? I think they're safer than not using hooks at all. You don't have to kick the dumbbells up with your knees over your body just to get your bench press started. They're already up there. There's less chance of injuring your shoulders or your elbows. I share mine with other guys every week using different weights. I've never seen or heard any comments one way or the other. We usually alternate, using the barbells one day and the dumbbells the next time.

Resistance bands and weights. I only have 5lb dumbbells available to me right now, so that's what I'm using until I get paid. Then I'm going to bump it up and buy a heavier set. She makes reference to using up to 20 lbs though, but only for certain exercises.

Hello. There are 16 10lb plates. If you so wanted to load all on to one dumbbell the most you could get would be 12 on one dumbbell (all there is room for) plus the weight of the dumbbell (about six pounds), so yes the most you could get one dumbbell to be would be about 126 lbs.

None of the above. These are the personal trainer model. 50 lbs, non-expandable, but with 2.5 lb weights that can be inserted or removed from the handles for very fine incrementing of the weights. They are plenty for anyone but body builders IMHO.

One of the reviewers of the dumbbell set referred people to this site and said it's the cheapest he could find for add-on plates. http://www.warehousefitness.com/exercise-equipment/RDD/default.aspxHope this helps!

DUMBEST question ever posted. How the heck do you think people stay strong. You should just go to walmart and buy the 40lbs cheap ones. These are not for the likes of you!

They shipped in the same box for me. Expect the box to be in poor shape when it arrives, mine was all sorts of messed up, but the dumbbells were in fine condition.

They can fit like 25lb plates. How would a rack assist with deadlifts? lol. Go buy a cheap flat bench and you do bench press. Its worth the money. I have one and love it.

There not what you think. There not the quick adjustable ones. I ordered these and got a bunch of boxes with regular weights, bars, and locking nuts. Just like regular Dumbbells. Spin off the nut remove desired weights and spin nut back on.

Don't get them man, They're really very awkward. (try to imagine how long each bar is. They're both made to hold 100lbs in plates!) 18-20 inches long. If you're used to extending to where the weights almost touch you will dislike them. If you go straight up and down like a robot then I def recommend them. Start buying sold dumbbells one by one. It will be worth the money.

Sorry, I haven't used it in quite a while. But the weights are different sizes so you always have the option of making it heavier.

I have both. Regular weighs 23lbs & PRO weighs 30lbs, give or take a pound. If you follow the included workout plan, pretty soon you'll be throwing around the 23lb model like an empty soda can. The PRO model is a way to increase the resistance and your intensity by about 30% just doing the same workout regimen. The round weights work with either, but are a pain in the arse to use. I only used them a couple of weeks and got tired of putting them on and taking them off to do different exercises. One fell off and almost broke my foot and that's when I stopped. Check out my 5-star review on Amazon (for the 30lb model) for directions on how to get the PRO model for only $99, including shipping.

I'm not sure what you are asking. If you are asking if the dumbbells are fragile - no. Prone to injuries - no more than any other use of free weights. But these dumbbells are larger and a little more awkward to use than individual weight dumbbells. This is because you have the option to have s weight from 5 to 50 lbs on one bar.
