The empty handle weighs 4 lbs on each PowerBlock Pro 32 dumbbell. Each dumbbell has two 2.5 lb adder weights for achieving small weight increments. The empty handle weighs 5 lbs on each Pro EXP dumbbell. This structure makes the Pro EXP comparable to the Sport EXP. It can be expanded to 70 lbs with the Stage 2 kit and to 90 lbs with the Stage 3 kit. The Pro EXP Stage 1 set has a max weight of 50 lbs per dumbbell. The PowerBlock Pro EXP is an expandable model, with Stage 1, Stage 2 and Stage 3 sets. EZ Curl Bar, Straight Bar, Kettlebell Handle). Lastly, the Pro EXP and Pro 50 models are compatible with the different PowerBlock accessories (i.e. Only the Sport 24 shares this same wedge design. However, they go a step further by having a “wedge” shape in the handle that allows for even more forearm range of motion from the front to the back of the handle.

The Pro Series dumbbells share the same “open handle” design as the Sport Series dumbbells, which gives plenty of space for your wrist/forearms inside the handle. The urethane also reduces noise during use since there’s no metal on metal contact. This is due to the urethane coated plates as well as their non-welded “flex” design. Overall, all Pro Series models have a more durable design than the Sport Series models. The Pro Series consists of 3 separate dumbbell models, including one expandable model and two non-expandable models: Now that you’ve got a summarized overview of how the PowerBlock Pro and Sport models compare on a spec-to-spec basis, I’ll dig a little deeper into each separate model.

Feel free to start stocking this in future guys. Only products I would consider upgrading to in future is either a hex dumbbell set (if I ever expand my gym) or the PowerBlock Pro Exp which is has the Urethane coated steel plates making it smoother and quieter than the Sport version which is the only one available in Australia through gym and fitness. Overall happy with the product, it covers most of the dumbbells I would need.

The expandable one goes up in 10lb (4.5kg) increments with the pin but if you want a weight that is in between you need to insert the one or two adder weights which are 2.5lb (1.1kg) into a tube. This one goes up in 5lb (2.2kg) increments where you just change the pin. The benefit that this one does have over the expandable version is it seems less fiddly to change the weights. I was hoping to get the expandable version which was the same price with more weight options (16 over the 9 this one offers and the opportunity to expand) but missed out during the preorder. The weights do move slightly when locked in but not a big deal. In terms of adjustable dumbbells this seems like the best option as it seems the most secure and not too awkward and bulky. This is probably the next best thing to getting a hex dumbbell set which I don't have the space for in my home gym.
