Any own a set of either Powerblock or Bowflex Selecttech? Opinions? I am thinking of picking up a set of Powerblock.

I have the bowflex units and I have to say that the power blocks might be a bit more sturdy. I have warrantied mine 3 times. If you put them down two hard or "wrong" the little plastic teeth holding the weights in will chip off.

I've had the personal powerblocks for over a year now, and they've been great. Metal construction = no damage.

Want to buy them off me so I can upgrade?:D

Good stuff. The personal goes up to 25? I was gonna go the Fitness Depot but on the site they said they are out of stock.

Personal goes up to 45lbs each side. I'm going to figure out how much the next step up costs.

Like I tell everyone, these are very durable because of the simple mechanism and metal body. Definitely better than the bowflex sets.
