Very well done! This helped me massively as I’ve just moved into a smaller space and need to adjust for that. I had run across both of these on my search for that solution. Happened to pop on a Cafe de Rene podcast, and saw that you were offering a lot of reviews on different fitness equipment, then bam! saw this review in your videos. Twas meant to be. Appreciate the time and detail you put into these reviews. I struggle to find full coverage reviews. Thanks for helping me make this decision. Definitely gonna be coming back as I see you’ve reviewed a couple other pieces of equipment I’ve considered. 🙌🙏

Very helpful review! Absolute game changers. Ended up getting both dumbbells sets. Powerblocks for the heavy sets & Cores for the small increment changes. Like peanut butter & jelly. Very happy with them. Thanks SR cheers

Excellent, excellent analysis. Agree on all points.

great video. I only have dumbbells up to 25, all over my basement. was going to buy some 30's - 50's sets but insted i just ordered the core fitness ones. Thank you for your honest and helpful review. Happy new year brother

Thanks for the reviews, Stevie. I was happy to see your channel pop up as I was looking for adjustable weight reviews (I’m a Russo Brand member). Keep the channel going, brother! Go Birds 🦅

Thanks for your comparison.

Thanks for the compliment and subscribing. I do my best, but I’m not always right lol.

Great video man. Thanks for making it. I went with the powerblocks just due to durability. Harder to go up 5 lb increments but also have the ability to increase weight if I ever get there (debatable lol)

The Powerblocks are a great choice. The fact that I could take just a portion of the weight when we travel is great. The Twistlocks don’t have that ability.

Stevie, what's your view on reverse hypers(love or hate)? Bought a bells of steel reverse hammer and started doing them for 5 months now (4 times per week) and have never looked back. I fractured my back in Afghanistan and seemed like nothing could help until using a reverse hyper. Just curious what's your experience with them.

I definitely see the benefit of that exercise and would have a Reverse Hyper or GHD in my home gym if I had the available space. If you served in Afghanistan, thank you for your service.

I'd have loved to get the Powerblock Pro Series but got the Sport Exp instead. The plates on the pros are only attached to the rods via the screw through the urethane, not the actual plate. There are reports of people using them in higher temperature climates, were the urethane becomes brittle and ultimately fail. Not sure how widespread this actually is but its something to consider if you are living in hotter areas.

Thanks for the great comment. I had the Sport 5.0s before and they were great. My garage gym is pretty hot here in Florida. I’ll definitely keep an eye on that.

@@StevieRichardsFitness yeah probably worth it to check the connection occasionally. Iirc the guy in the class action lawsuit was from Florida too. Anyway thanks for the nice review.

I LOVE the PowerBlocks but they’re so damn expensive

Have you tried the iron master dumbbells Stevie ? If so , what did you think to them ?

when you say the bowflex 'failed' on you, can you describe this more? (did they fall apart? did they get stuck?)

The changing mechanism broke and rendered the one dumbbell useless. It was where I worked at the time and they were out of warranty.

There is a newer brand that twist to adjust, called Ezblock. They are the same company that sells the Eztone bar and bands. Have you seen these.

90lbs dumbbell? Most guys can’t bench 50s

@fearless6947

I wish I brought the 90lbs :(. I had mine for 4 months and I got a feeling, I'm going to out grow them soon. You be surprised how much you can lift in a year or two. I never thought I would out grow my 50lbs. I would say the sweet spot is 70 but to be safe, it's best to get the 90's as well imo. Obviously you can keep the 50's, it means more reps and more time working out
