I do recommend getting the stand if you can also afford that. You can also add weights to this as you progress vs being g stuck at the lower weights of many of the twist dials.

I will say, I've stopped taking the adder weights in and out, and just leave them in and only do 15,25,35,45,55,65 etc. weight reps. Thankfully, my lifting app (macrofactor workouts) allows me to specify what equipment/weights I have, so it reformulates with my gains without trying to bother me with the 10, 20, 30, etc. weight amounts. I just find taking the outerweights in and out is just a little too much extra work for me. I guess it's really not that bad, but my brain/drive needs as few obstacles as possible.
edit: also, I used first or second generation power blocks starting around 2013, and didn't have a proper stand until I upgraded to the EXP back around 2022, and I very much love having a proper stand.
also, I was able to sell my old school power blocks for more than I originally purchased them for, which leads me to believe these hold their value extremely well in the resale market. at least, if you take care of them as well as I do.

The powerblock website looks to have both an EZ curl bar and a straight bar that are compatible. I cannot find the length of the straight bar listed, but I doubt that it is wide enough for a rack or bench.
I always click through to these threads hoping that it is the ELITE USA that are being offered again so that I can pick up stage 3. I've been using mine for three years with no complaints.
Jokes aside they provide a flat specialized surface to change the weights that will probably not break any time soon. Is it worth it? Probably not if you have anything else to put them on that is sturdy and keeps them safe.

For those getting starting, get this, all 3 stages, and a bench off FB marketplace ($100-200) and you'll be set until you're ready to expand your home gym.
