With this one you can't upgrade, you have to get the 1090 model , which is out of stock. If you want expandable powerblock is the best be
The whole process of building muscle is progressive overloading. With a 50 lb limit, that would stop happening pretty soon and then most people are in for a world of disappointment when they say no gains or any meaningful change of body composition.
This is not suitable for almost any compound exercise: deadlifts, bench press, shoulder press, squats, rows etc. There would be no significant growth with these after the honeymoon period is over.
Yes once can have a set for doing bicep curls or lateral raises. But for most people they will need the powerblock 90 lbs at least, but more preferably a barbell and a squat rack.

For bicep curls, skull crushers, shoulder flyes, etc. a 52.5 pound max weight should be enough to last most people a long time.

So these are good for some supplementary exercise. The ones that you mentioned - mainly isolation exercises - are good for someone who is already adept at the basic exercises which build your body strength. Any fitness program needs to start with core compound exercises and unfortunately these dumbbells are not good for that. And there in lies the danger, most people buy them in the hopes of having an all in exercise regime for which these are completely inadequate. It's great as a supplement to the gym, but on it's own not good enough.

As I mentioned in the other post, please have reasonable expectations with them. You will likely outgrow them in a few months and you can't use these to completely transform your body because of the weight limitation. But for selected isolation exercises and supplementary fitness regime - these are unbeatable value. Imagine the luxury of being able to knock out lateral raises or bicep curls at 2 am in the night if you're bored..
