PowerBlock Sport Dumbbells – Review

PowerBlock Sport Series boasts budget-friendly and lightweight dumbbells, but the Sport adjustable dumbbells are unparalleled in design and ease of use. They are a great option for people beginning their fitness journey and strength training or just hoping to stay active.

Design

The PowerBlock Sport adjustable dumbbells come with a rubber grip to allow you to use a wider range of motions during exercises. The open handle design further facilitates your movements, as it has been designed specifically with a more athletic and sportier feel in mind.

The rounded weight and aerodynamic design of the product further ensure that there are no additional support bars placed around the handle. As a result, you are not interrupted when going through various motions and exercises during training.

Furthermore, the steel weight plates that accompany the PowerBlock Sport adjustable dumbbells have a contoured rubber grip, as well as color-coded or numbered weight bands, depending upon which one you want.

Weights

Designed for a number of different types of weightlifters, the PowerBlock Sport adjustable dumbbells come with a handle that weighs five pounds. Where the increments are concerned, they are also of five pounds, going as high as 50 pounds.

Thus, they are perfect for you if you are getting back into the habit of weight training after a break or an injury. The weights have numbers on them to help you distinguish between the plates.

Grips

PowerBlock Sport adjustable dumbbells are accompanied by a large grip, which is 1.5 inches in diameter. If you tend to get clammy or sweaty during weight training, the material of the grip will ensure that the dumbbell does not slip out of your hand and cause an injury.

Other Features

An expandable model, PowerBlock Sport adjustable dumbbells allow you to purchase two separate expansion packs if the weights of up to 50 pounds are not enough for your training.

With one expansion pack, you can add weights ranging from 50 to 70 pounds to your dumbbells. But with two, you can take the weight tally as high as 90 pounds for advanced lifting and exercises.

In addition to the expansion packs, PowerBlock Sport adjustable dumbbells come with an auto-lock handle. The small lever present inside the grip give you the chance to make small adjustments, such as add other weights of 2.5 pounds.

Pulling the lever automatically opens up the weight port, making it convenient for you to remove or add other weights. Once you put the weight slack inside, the lever closes automatically and remains in a locked position throughout the workout.
