Proform Pro Quick Adjustable Dumbbell Set Vs. The Powerblock Elite Dumbbell Set
The Proform Pro Quick adjustable dumbbells and the Powerblock Elite dumbbells may seem to be very similar at first glance. However, when you break them down side-by-side, you see that there are many differences that will make the decision for you.
The Proform Pro Quick 100lb dumbbell set will go up to 50 pounds on each dumbbell, but the lowest weight possible is 10 pounds. This makes them less suitable to beginning weightlifters since they may need to start off at lower weight for smaller muscle groups.
And to make the beginner’s challenge harder, the Proform set only goes up in increments of ten pounds. While the Powerblock Elite dumbbell provides a wide variety of weight options, the increments on the Proform Pro Quick set provide you with only 5 weight options.
The Proform Pro Quick Adjustable dumbbell set does feature an easy to use turn dial design module which makes it easy to pick your weight. It is fast and easy to just turn the dial to the weight that you want to lift and get on with your workout.
The Proform Pro Quick is also a much less costly investment compared to the Powerblock Elite dumbbell set. And included in that lower price is also a convenient height-adjusting stand.
The Powerblock Elite dumbbell set’s higher price, however, just might be worth the investment, depending on your weightlifting aims. For starters, the Powerblock Elite set is more beginner friendly, starting at five pounds and going upwards to ninety for the more advanced body builder. This wide range makes it a very versatile dumbbell set compared to the Proform Pro Quick set.
Similar to weight machines that are found at any gym, this Powerblock Elite 5-90 weight set utilizes a pin system to hold the weight plates in place. But the Powerblock dumbbell set’s signature block design gives its user more control and allows for easier, more compact storage.
While the Powerblock Elite dumbbell set is priced much higher than the Proform Pro Quick adjustable dumbbell set, you get a wider variety of weight options with the Powerblock set. If the weightlifter can afford it, the Powerblock Elite set is the best investment, physically and financially.
