I have a fairly complete dumbbell set right now (10, 20, 25, 35, 40, 45, 50, and 60s). But, I’m considering selling it and buying a Power Block or SelectTech set.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of each.
Obviously, the appeal of the adjustable dumbbells are that they require much less space in my garage/gym area. From the little bit that I’ve played with them (and the ones I picked up were some cheap Weider brand I think), they seemed to be a bit noisier and clattered around when you use them.
Anyway, would this be a good move? Is there any real disadvantages?
I’ve had my Powerblocks (Big Blocks to 125 lbs) for over 10 years now. I love them. I was skeptical when I first bought them, but the salesman told me to try them and he would pick them up if I didn’t like them. I even broke the plastic sleeve that the 1/2 pound weights slide into. Powerblocks send me new ones free of charge. Great company and product.

I’d go with the powerblock…I’ve tried the select tech and thought it awkward but a better investment would be Iron Master Quicklok dumbbells.

Those look pretty sweet and are a good deal cheaper than the other options I have been looking at. Thanks for the link.
