Need a little advice. Just bought the Elite USA up to 50 pair about two weeks ago. Used to be pretty strong (1215 combined max bench/squat/DL, etc), but stopped in March while in my lifting peak. Haven't lifted since March until about a week ago when I bought a power cage, barbell, some plates, a bench, and these dumbbells. I've spent a lot recently with the other gym equipment, and Black Friday / other purchases. I'm a little hesitant to spend another $300 on the expansions when I'm probably 2-3 months from building back the strength to need that extra 20 and 40.

How often do the expansions restock on Powerblock? Should I go for them now even though I don't currently need them, or do they restock often enough that I'd be fine buying them in 2 or whatever months when I really need them? Thanks in advance for the help.

Check their inventory update page to stay alert. https://powerblock.com/inventory-update/

I have been following Powerblock daily and this is the first time in a long time these expansions have been in stock. My advice is to buy!!

Man, Ive been holding out for these to come back in stock instead of paying scalper fees. Man, I hate that there isnt free shipping. Anyone have a promo code for free shipping? Torn whether I should pay for shipping or wait it out? Thoughts?

It's about 5-$600 worth of dumbbells in a small footprint and for me shipping was only about $54 for the base model. If you've quoted getting anything from Rogue or Rep Fitness, it's pretty solid deal. If you don't like it, can easily sell it for what you paid with shipping I'd say.

Well, procrastinated a little too long, now OOS. Demand is waaay too high, keep that in mind the next time these are in stock. Decide if youre willing to pay shipping fees so when it comes back in stock, youll jump on it and go through checkout before they get sold out. Lesson learned

Powerblock elite magically appear in stock, count 1 available. Was that one returned to the pool after I removed from my cart? Who knows. I nabbed it right away and went through the checkout process. Successfully ordered. Now shows no stock available. Lets hope my order doesnt get cancelled. I ended up paying 407 total, 82 dollars shipping. I guess thats ok. Better than paying scalper fees. I'll wait on the expansion lvl 2 and 3 when they offer free shipping

I'm the same way, though I ended up only getting the second expansion. I'm hoping by the time I need the third they might be easier to find and have a coupon code available. Hope I don't regret that...

I have been using elastic bands since last March and using real weights feels so great. I wish I had pulled the trigger earlier.
For those on the fence, I'd say go for it. Worst thing that could happen is that you sell them later at a loss when gyms open up, which I think is very unlikely (sadly) anytime soon.
I can't wait for my exp 3 to arrive.

Was on the fence last night and then they went out of stock while in my cart. Already have free weights but man watching a couple YouTube's those things are nice. And now I'm seeing they are better than the bowflex and this price is better too. Oh well hopefully back in stock soon

This is a fantastic set. Bought them last year. Cannot recommend enough.

I prefer these over the bowflex for one solid reason. With the bowflex, no matter what weight you adjust it to, the size of the dumbell remains the same. This could hider certain workouts. But with Powerblock the size changes along with the weight.

I've set power blocks elite usa as my main homepage so every time when I use the computer that's the first thing it pops up. Took awhile but I finally saw it in stock and was able to order a pair.
