These don't have the chrome "adder" weights that the personal trainers have, so you can go up or down only in increments of 5 lbs instead of 2.5lbs.

Also, the bare handle of this set is fixed at 10lbs whereas the bare handle of the personal trainers is 5lbs, which allows a bit more flexibility with the weights (i.e., lifting 7.5lbs).

With that said, this is a great pandemic-era price for a new set of non-expandable powerblocks. The personal trainers were capped at 50lbs, and were popular deals at $300. This set offers much of the same functionality for $40 less.

A diy method for moving up by 2.5lb increment is to grab some 2.5lb wrist weights

Seems like a good deal. Not sure what the difference of this set vs. the Personal Trainer set I bought a couple of months ago for $300.

I've been enjoying the set I got last time Woot had them. The reason my set ended up on Woot, and I'd guess the whole lot last time, was because the weight increments were labeled incorrectly. Out of order, and not visible to the outside. Of course that has zero effect on the function.

If you only need these up to 50, go for it. They work great for ancillary moves.

I bought it on last deal for 265. Loved the set, very easy and quick to change weights. Great for doing supersets. Only downside is, it's non expandable, but I am fine with it.

What makes you think that this is the non expandable version?

I got my first pair of powerblocks from woot and was able to get the two expansion kits bringing weight up to 90 per block.

On the money!

Link for reference to the other Powerblock version called the Person Trainer.

Personally I'd pay $40 more ($300 total post-pandemic, and $240 pre-pandemic) for that added functionality. Since we're talking about an extra 2x dumbbells for each increment.

Basically instead of ONLY getting 5 lb - 10lb like the OP, we'd get the 2.5lb and 7.5lb if you really wanted to.

Or instead of ONLY 45lb-50lb like the OP, we'd get the 42.5lb and the 47.5lb as well.

lol I guess I wouldn't use that specific of a weight increment (Till AFTER 50lb) but that peace of mind that my dumbell has more features than the other NON-expandable 50lb powerblocks would make me happy lol

sheesh. Pandemic has really screwed these prices up for used powerblocks. I got mine like 3 years ago for $110. now they are as much as these new ones or more. Now that everything is starting to open up, I wonder if we'll see a lot of these his the market used and a giant price decrease.

It won't be long, providing a variant doesn't show up that the vaxes can't handle, until a bunch of people who built COVID home gyms will start dumping their gear. Once that flood starts to happen, prices will plummet.

I got some 1.25lb iron plate weights off Facebook Marketplace and glued on really strong rare earth magnets, and electrical taped them for good measure. I use them to quickly add or take off 2.5lbs at a time to my personal trainers. I prefer that method than futzing around with the adder weights. The bonus is that the 2.5lbs is evenly balanced on both sides of the dumbbell.

One drawback for the powerblocks with adder weights is that having just one 2.5lb weight in a handle makes it feel unbalanced. Adding the iron weight plates on either end keeps it balanced and even.
