Why? PowerBlocks are perfectly balanced. They are the heaviest, most compact and easiest to use quick change dumbbell. PowerBlock is the only dumbbell system that can expand to meet your strength needs. Start with a 50 lb set, expand to 90 lbs, expand again to 130 lbs. Dumbbells are the most versatile and effective exercise tool ever developed for strength training. Now you can have rapid access to a whole rack of dumbbells at home in the space of just 1 pair, and at a fraction of the price of conventional dumbbells.
The Sport Series is the third generation of PowerBlocks new in June of 2008. The Sport Series consists of 4 models of PowerBlocks with unique differences in both form & function. As far as form goes, the dramatic changes would be the Gray color of the steel weight plates vs. the black weight plates of other PowerBlock models and the rounded shaped top of the weight plates offering a stylish look. As far as function differences, the Sport Series has tapered handles, double tethered selector pins (not on the Sport 2.4) , the wrist supports are of a more open design offering a larger handle cavity and the dial locks are recessed into the handle.
