POWERBLOCK SPORT SERIES SERIES

The empty handle weighs just 3 lbs and each block weighs 3 lbs. The Sport 24 is the smallest of all PowerBlock models in terms of both physical size and max weight. It comes with two 2.5 lb adder weights per dumbbell for small increments. The Sport EXP’s empty handle weighs 5 lbs and each nested weight block weighs 10 lbs. In this way, the Sport EXP is comparable to the Elite 50/70/90. The Sport EXP Stage 1 set has a max weight of 50 lbs per dumbbell, which can be upgraded to 70 lbs with the Stage 2 kit and 90 lbs with the Stage 3 kit. The PowerBlock Sport EXP adjustable dumbbells are an expandable dumbbell model, with Stage 1, Stage 2 and Stage 3 sets. They have no support bars at the top of the handle like on the Elite dumbbells.

POWERBLOCK SPORT SERIES SERIES

Overall, all Sports Series models have a more contoured and modern look compared to the more blocky Elite Series. This includes the Sport EXP, which is the expandable model, as well as the Sport 24 and Sport 50, which are the non-expandable models. Unlike the Elite Series, which have one group of dumbbells (Elite 50/70/90), the Sport Series has 3 separate dumbbell models. The PowerBlock Elite 90 set goes from 5-90 lbs per dumbbell in as little as 2.5 lb increments when using the adder weights. Each handle comes with 2 removable 2.5 lb adder weights. The empty handle weighs 5 lbs and each nested block weighs 10 lbs. They’re really just 3 stages of the same adjustable dumbbell set, meaning the blocks are all compatible with each other and you can buy the Elite expansion kits to transform the Elite 50 or Elite 70 into the Elite 70 or Elite 90. There are 3 Elite Series models: the Elite 50, Elite 70 and Elite 90. These are the only PowerBlock series made in the USA. The Elite Series dumbbells have colored weight indicators that take up most of the length of the rails, giving it the classic PowerBlock rainbow look that all PowerBlock models had in the past. Some lifters love this feature, while others think it gets in the way.

These let you prop the dumbbell against your lower forearm, making it easier to keep your wrists in a neutral position. They’re also unique in that they feature 2 padded wrist support bars at the top of the handle. These dumbbells have a boxier shape than the Sport Series as well as all other series of PowerBlock dumbbells currently in production. The Elite Series, formerly known as the Classic Series, is PowerBlock’s legacy series of adjustable dumbbell models. Now that I’ve summarized the similarities and differences of the Elite and Sport models from a high level in the table above, I’ll get into a little more detail on each model individually.
