If you keep the 552’s for p90x and set up the iron masters for the few sets you wished you had over 52 pounds the slow adjustment would maybe not be an issue. My wife didn’t like having her hand inside the power blocks so our current set up is the 552’s which can adjust quickly and the the ironmaster dumbbells for heavier sets or moves like renegade rows that would destroy the 552’s over time. The downside is they are not quick to adjust like the bow flex but I can change both weights in about 30-40 seconds. They are rock solid and give a true dumbbell experience and come with a lifetime warranty.
The iron masters are probably in the same price range as the power blocks. Power blocks, bow flex 552’s and the Ironmaster adjustable dumbbells. I have owned all three major sets of adjustable dumbbells.
I tried to be detailed with my thoughts so that your feedback can be deliberate and meaningful. What else would you like to know? I really appreciate you looking at this post to help me. I believe that I will slowly continue to make better habits with my diet that will bring me closer to this goal in the next few months. My goal is to have a body fat percentage of 13-15%. I haven't missed a workout this year and have never felt more motivated to make this an absolute essential part of my life. I have lost over 20 pounds since September and have made considerable strength gains. I'm not sure if these type of workouts are frowned upon here.Īdditionally, I am 6'1" and 225 lbs. Is my money better spent elsewhere? If so, what do you think I am missing? Keep in mind that my homegym routine is dominated by what Tony Horton tells me to do - please don't make fun of me.
Currently, there are a few moves where I wished I had more weight than my Bowflex SelectTech 552 dummbbells can offer and there is one exercise where I don't feel comfortable using them (pushup to row or "Renegade Rows") but I have seen people posting YouTube videos doing these exercises with PowerBlock and they look very secure.Ĭurrently at my homegym I have the Bowflex SelectTech 552 dummbbells, a flat bench, a folding chair, a pullup bar (wall mounted), a few resistance bands/tubing, pushup bars, a yoga ball, and yoga blocks. I think I want the PowerBlock U90 5-90 lb set of dummbbells because I do P90X, and P90X3 which is a very fast-paced workout and I have to be able to adjust the weights very quickly. Would you ever opt out of the stand if money wasn't a consideration? I currently have a set of Bowflex SelectTech 552 dummbbells and they work great but I wish everyday I had the stand for them. Have you ever regretted not buying a bigger dumbbell? It's another $309 to get the U90 5-125 lb set but also another $68 for the larger stand. Is buying this from the PowerBlock site the best? I can't seem to find a better deal elsewhere.ĭoes PowerBlock ever run sales or special offers on their website? I think I have a better chance of convincing my wife if there is a limited time offer. I want to let you know that I have sold myself on the PowerBlock U90 5-90 lb set of dummbbells but I can be convinced of something else I wanted to ask a few questions first. I have several questions that I need to ask r/homegym and I'm confident that you will be able to help me.
