    I'd say it's a waste of money. You have to be pretty damn hardcore (like Nazi hardcore) if you are concerned about the extra 20 seconds it might take you to exchange weight plates on ordinary dumbells.

    If you ask me just drop $80.00 on a complete set of steel plate weights.

    my friend owns the bowflex dumbells, he likes the fact that their small and that it dosent scratch his floor. they also dont make alot of noise when using them and are very easy to switch weight. i think they are overpriced and u would get the same results with regular dumbells

    I think they're too light for much good. The max is under 60 pounds is it not?

    Those would only be good for bis, tris and maybe a little delt work unless you're a chick.

    Fitness depot on Blackfoot has a set of power blocks, why not go down there in person, and check them out?

    i have checked them out. they go up to 52.5lbs. which is already under my bench press weight. that was the problem,but i can use them for alot of things bicep's and shoulders and stuff i'm only curling around 30-35 so they would be good for awhile. the thing i like is that it is so compact but there expensive. waste of money for me??? i have a gym pass but wanted to start collecting my own equipent.

    www.powerblock.com

    they say standard is 45, expandable to 90, and then to 130

    I dont have many dumbells, but I started buying the gym style ones with the hex ends. They are expensinve that way though....

    Those power blocks look pretty good - especially with the ability to upgrade the weight.

    those powerblocks don't look to bad but it's the same idea as bowflex but alittle cheaper if it's canadian. just straight dumbells are expensive and take up alot of space. looking for something fairly compact

    I have fixed dumbells from 5lbs to 35 lbs, and I can used my free weight plates on some 1" spin ons to build the heavier ones.

    But, if I had to start from the beginning, I'd probably buy some power blocks,

    what are they $600 ish? and they probably replace over 1000 lbs of fixed dumbells....something like that, right?

    anyone see the powerblocks in person in calgary??? i would get the set up to 90 if they seem good.

    yeah i'm just over 55lbs for my bench so i would need more, then the bowflex can offer. if i got the bow flex i was thinking that i would get dumbells going up by 5's, as i go up on my bench press. good idea???
