There are PowerBlocks also on sale for $279.99. You can find the deal with the search bar. Those are much better than these. Less moving components and the important parts are metal compared to plastic for these, so they will last longer, be more secure and be more forgiving when dropped.

No they weren't 279$ , they were exactly 300$, because I bought a pair there.
Did you miss where I said it was " For Total Tech members"? They had an additional $20 off

It's also a better discount overall for a better and normally more expensive product.

I havent tried any of them. Do you know which ones are more confortable to use? Somehow the squareish form throws me off

I disagree... I like the SelectTech's better. I've used both and the Bowflex's allow me to swap weights faster. Just twist and go... The workouts that I do, have a high pace to keep the heart rate up and get the workflow done faster. If I had the time to sit around and not worry about pace, I think I would still rather have the Bowflex's. Since these are only 52.5 lbs each, there is no need to just drop them... but I see your point if you have a space that can take that type of beating.

Sold a pair at the height of Covid for ober $500. I had Craigslist people outbidding each other. It was crazy.

I don't miss em. Reg dumbbells are much easier to use.
Well, obviously. Most people don't have space for a massive set of dumbbells like a gym would though.

That's really the main con of the PowerBlock but otherwise I think they're more comfortable because they aren't fixed length like the Bowflex. The Bowflex are the same length at max weight and minimum weight, which is distracting for the latter and for range of motion purposes.

Personally, the square shape doesn't bother me since I'm not enamored to the shape of a normal dumbbell to begin with but I can see why it bothers some.

The Bowflex though should work better for certain exercises like behind the back triceps extensions and goblet squats, so take that into account.

All things being equal, PowerBlocks should last longer. The pair I'm using is 15 years old. If you take care of the Bowflex, they should last a long time too. I know someone else mentioned changing time and honestly, it's not that dramatic. It takes me about 2 seconds to change weights for Bowflex and 3 seconds for PowerBlocks.

The general consensus on Reddit and home gym forums are Ironmaster are the best bar none followed by NuoBells, PowerBlocks, Pepin, BaadAss, and then Bowflex.

Also keep in mind that just like the Bowflex, the PowerBlocks I linked aren't expandable. Most of their other models are and can go up to 90-120 lbs but they cost more than the ones in the deal I linked. That's also a major plus on why people love them, but I would personally still pick those PowerBlocks I linked over Bowflex having owned both brands.

Here's a pretty detailed comparison:

These are excellent. Got a pair last year. The traditional form versus that of the powerblock allow me to all of my regular gym exercises without modification.

Yes they're very hard plastic plates and not metal. With that said if you're looking for weights to crash down on the floor after several tough reps these are not for you.

The grips are comfortable without need for gloves for added texture.

The Bowflex stand (separate purchase) is advised as otherwise you'll be bending over to the floor every time you place the weights back in their container. This was a concern for me due to possibly wrenching my back in bringing them up.
