PowerBlock do offer their own large column stand, which has been specifically designed to present these weights at a level that’s easy to reach. If you wanted to prevent any potential damage they might suffer from being on the ground, we would always recommend looking around for a dumbbell stand. Their square weight plate design also means you can comfortably store the weights flat on the floor between workouts if needed.
That’s a total weight of more than 2,500 pounds! It’s also worth bearing in mind that one set of these PowerBlock dumbbells can take the place of 28 different pairs of fixed weight dumbbells.

Whether you want to bicep curl with 10 lb or dumbbell row with the full 90 lb, the compact dimensions allow you to keep the weight closer to your body than many traditional dumbbell sets. With such a simple yet effective weight adjustment system, it’s no surprise that the PowerBlock Elite 90 Adjustable Dumbbells are also extremely compact. While the two tubes closest to you have been added assist with balancing the weight, the other two tubes are used to store 2 of the 2.5 lb cylinder weights. Removing the main locking pin from the dumbbell and lifting the frame out of the remaining plates, you’ll notice two tubes running the length of the frame. If you’re unsure which colour relates to which weight, a quick reference guide has been added to the top of each dumbbell.Īt the opposite end to this colour guide you will also notice a small handle that can be adjusted through a few different positions. There’s no reliance on a central bar to secure the weight plates in place, you simply slide the pair of locking pins into place at the weight you want to use. Unlike some designs, the lower the weight you use, the shorter the length. That’s one of the great design features of the PowerBlock sets. Whether you are using 10 lb or 100 lb, in order to perform any exercise effectively it’s always preferable for the dumbbell to be as compact as possible. It wasn’t until that dream on a beautiful Santa Cruz night that Carl put together the concepts of a nested weight stack with a handle secured by a U-shaped pin, the ‘ahh ha’ moment! Within 24 hours of that, the prototype that is the foundation of all PowerBlock dumbbells was born.One of the most interesting things about reviewing a number of different adjustable dumbbell sets is getting the chance to see a range of different adjustment systems. Many people had attempted to bulid a better dumbbell but their solutions were always too complicated, fragile or impractical. The final PowerBlock design was elusive, he began creating a ton (literally) of prototypes while researching previous attempts to build a superior adjustable dumbbell. So he got a different job, but the story was still the same everywhere he went, mainly, dumbbells chaotically gobbling up precious floor space. But like many first time entrepreneurs he failed, however his passion never wavered. This required him to visit numerous gyms throughout the country. Years went by and he started to notice there were improvements to be made with most gym equipment, so he did what felt natural and started a small fitness company. His obsession with fitness continued to grow and eventually he got a job repairing equipment for a health club in Santa Cruz. Wondering how legends like Bill Pearl, Charles Atlas, and Mike Mentzer attained their epic physiques drove him to attach some coffee cans full of cement to a broomstick as his first home gym. Having grown up in California during the 1970’s Carl became fascinated with bodybuilding and strength training. The actual idea came later, as inventor and founder Carl Towley suddenly woke up late one night from a dream. It all started with the simple observation that dumbbells were cluttering gym floors everywhere and that a full set of traditional dumbbells took up too much space at home.
