![]() To make sure that you don’t get scratched, you’ll have to ensure that the protruding pin is turned away from your body. This can be a problem, as the pin may bang up against your side when you are doing exercises such as dumbbell curls. When you select a light weight though, the pin will go right through the handle and protrude out the other side. The Powerflex Elite pin adjustment system has you inserting a steel pin through the handle to select your level of resistance. So, for each color option there are three possible weights – the lightest weight, with no bars inside, the middle weight with one bar inside and the heaviest weight with both bars inside. The block that you lift off has 2 removable bars that each weigh one pound. Each color represents a weight range of two kilos (4.4 pounds). The pin adjustment method used with the Powerblock Elite uses a color coded system. The 70-90 extension will allow you to replace 16 pairs of dumbbells. There is a 50-70 pound extension kit and a 70-90 pound extension kit. However, you can purchase extension kits to give you more poundage. The Powerblock Elite weight adjustments range from 5 to 50 pounds, going up in increments of 2.5 and 5 pounds. The PowerBlock Elite is an extremely compact, stylish and streamlined adjustable dumbbell set. ![]() Similarly, it can be a problem to position the weights over your chest when doing the dumbbell bench press. When you are doing curl type exercises this length can make it difficult to keep the weights in at your sides. Due to the nature of the selection method, the bar is the same length on every dumbbell weight. ![]() However, if you’re able to handle those heavier weights, you are fully capable of handling the bulkier nature of this unit.Īnother problem exists with the length of the dumbbell bars. That’s because it provides you with such a large range of weight options. The Bowflex 552 is a rather big and bulky unit. The Bowflex 552 comes with a full 2-year replacement warranty. It gives you a great feel that doesn’t pinch between the thumb and first finger (which is a problem for many competing models). The handle grips of the Bowflex 552 feature tapered sides to enhance the feel along with a non-slip palm grip to prevent your hand from sliding around. You simply select the weight that you wish to lift on each side and then lift the weight off the tray. The numbers relate to the weights of the dumbbell. The Bowflex adjustment system has dials on the both sides of the unit with numbers on it. It’s also reliable, allowing you to make your change in just a few seconds. The Bowflex 552 is an extremely easy system to adjust. If it’s not, you’ll end up wasting time between sets, which will ruin your workout flow. The adjustment system can either make or break a selectorized dumbbell set. This means that you are able to progress with smaller increments, allowing you to constantly increase your training intensity level. ![]() A unique feature of this set is that it provides you with 2.5 pound increments for the first 25 pounds. What it means is that you get a complete range of dumbbells in one set. ![]() This is more than we have found on any other product in this category. The Bowflex 552 provides you with 15 levels of adjustable resistance. ![]()
