POWERBLOCK Elite EXP Adjustable Dumbbells, Sold in Pairs

Product Information

To change weights, remove the pin, select the rail with the corresponding weight chart, then insert the pin completely into the desired slot. That’s it, you’re ready to lift. Handle – The open draft of the interior surface maximises the range of motion and increases ergonomics with the contoured rubber grip For 2023, using our unique scoring system, the MuscleSquad 5kg – 40kg takes the crown for the best adjustable dumbbells in the UK. Selectorised dumbbells typically sit in a tray. On each side of each dumbbell, you’ll find a dial that shows the load in kilograms or pounds (some models will show both metrics). The other problem – as with all selectorised dumbbells – is that you cannot drop them on the floor. This might sound silly to a newbie who would wonder why anyone would do that, however, once you start lifting heavy weights, it is natural to push close to failure, and releasing the weights and letting them drop means you can push closer to failure.

With a strong claim to being the most versatile piece of gym kit around, variations of these free weights have been contributing to users’ bulging bis and bulky tris since Ancient Greek times. We understand that building a dedicated fitness room in your home is probably a bridge too far (unless your house happens to have an empty wing). And, when you've already turned the spare room into a home office and the kids have to sleep somewhere (apparently), finding any spare workout space can be a mission. Well, with a premium dumbbell, you don't need a gym from MTV Cribs. The appeal is in their simplicity and cheap price point. However, there is a reason they are cheap and here’s why: You might notice that some of the adjustable dumbbells below have an Esquire Approves logo emblazoned upon them. That’s because each of these products has been put through the wringer by our dedicated fitness testing team. So, when we say Esquire Approves, we really do.

The issue was that there was a worrying amount of “play” between the handle and weight plates. They also said that the bolts were bad, meaning they could catch on clothes or skin. If only it were so simple. There are a huge variety of options on the market today, and the argument over which is the best dumbbell is still very much up for debate. You won’t be able to load these dumbbells up with a ton of weight – so once you progressively overload and start lifting heavier and heavier weights, these might become inadequate.

After you’ve made your mind up — adjustable dumbbell or fixed pair — all that’s left to do is to find a decent set. This is where we come in. We've done the legwork to dig up the best dumbbell sets (for those of you with a bit of space) and adjustable dumbbells (for those looking for flexibility) at a range of different weights and price points. Whatever your training needs, you're sure to find the best dumbbells for you.

"This is highly dependent on what your current fitness levels, your goals and what kind of exercise you’re doing," says George. "For example, are you looking to do a CrossFit WOD, or a bodybuilding session? Have you been strength training for years, or are you a novice?" If you're only ever going to be training at home, then err on the heavy side: you want your bench press PB to be defined by how much weight you can lift, not how much weight is available to lift.

WARRANTY

One reviewer complained that the product was not very well manufactured. They bought their set through SweatBand and said that the replacement set they received also had the same issues. The combination of high weight load, price, space-saving ability, excellent build quality, and happy customers means this set gets a Savvy Score of 9.7 out of 10. On the other hand, if functional training is more your bag, fixed weight dumbbells will be the one for you. We could not fault this set based on the price, weight load, build quality, and ease of use during testing. Our health experts put each one through an 11-move bodybuilding workout, working all major muscle groups using a combination of unilateral and bilateral movements, to see which ‘bells felt as sturdy and secure as a fixed weight dumbbell. They also tested how smoothly they could switch weights, before settling on their seven favourites.
