Yes, the selector pins will work great for 20 pound weight changes but for normal 5 pound changes you'll need to remove the pins, remove the handles, remove 2 chrome weights, line up handle with two stacks of weight (what a pain!), and insert the selector pins on both sides. There's also a completely abnormal distribution of weight along one axis. I do think your comments overlook a lot of drawbacks and perhaps those things aren't important to you. or someone who enjoys gadgets or spending money. or perhaps not intending to lift heavy or much at all. perhaps not wanting to lug around more weight because of frequent moves. I can see the barbells appealing to someone who already has the dumbbells and wants to keep things at a minimum. If the barbells appeal to you, you should buy them. I'n my opinion, my comments weren't 'knee-jerk' and I suspect others feel the same about their comments but no offense is taken. No matter what weight you get with an Olympic bar and Olympic plates, if you need more weight you can always buy more and add it on. I think the Powerblock thing is cool, but it's big drawback is it's weight limit. Not sure if the bar rotates either, as if it doesn't say in the description - something else an olympic bar does.īottom line is that the best choice is to buy a weight set with Olympic weights and an Olympic bar (you cannot use Standard weights with an Olympic bar, and if you work out much you'll surpass the weight limit on the Standard bar fairly quickly). Whereas an olympic bar has a weight limit of.more than you'll ever lift. The big question is - is it a 'standard - 1 inch' or 'olympic - 2 inch' bar? A standard bar generally has a weight limit of 250lb's.not sure if that includes the bar, if it doesn't it could be the 300lb rating includes the bar weight. However.all that being said.I'm not sure the Fitness Gear 300lb weight set is a good choice either.

Not sure if this is 'required' for you or not, but fyi.

An Olympic weightlifting bar also free rotates as you lift it, which is apparently necessary for the olympic lifts like the power clean. That being said, it would be nice not to have to do plate math in your head. This largely negates the time savings of adjustable dumbells. You have to rest between sets anyways if you're doing large compound movements for at least a minute. I'm not sure if body beast does squats and deadlifts, but most programs that a power rack is required for do use squats and deadlifts.ģ. A 200lb guy squatting 200lbs happens fairly quickly (depending on your current physical condition of course), and deadlifts use even more weight. Squats and deadlifts are the components of most weight lifting programs, and for both you will quickly and easily outpace lifting 195lbs if you're an average guy. Max weight seems to be 195lbs, no expanding above that. The bar part is 40' long, and that might be to short to fit on the squat pegs in a power rack. There are a couple of realistic drawbacks to the powerblocks as far as I can tell -ġ. This is the page for the powerblock barbell. I love powerblocks, and saving space, and if they were without drawbacks I would be extatic - I'm always looking for something that's as easy to tuck away at home between workouts as possible. Looks like you got a lot of knee-jerk 'it's new so I don't like it' reactions for the powerblock idea.
