@@daveg6227 You are very welcome my brother! I am so stoked for you and look forward to you getting yours! 💪 Thank you for watching!

Thank you so much man! I hope you have a great New Year!

Powerblocks rock! It's crazy how much space they save. It's true, it's hard to have a lot of the heavier dumbbell increments when they are so darn expensive. If you bought a pair of 85 and 90lb dumbbells you could already have full expansion powerblocks. That's a good idea to have a spare handle of empty weights for even faster weight change times. I have a spare pair and will have to try that.

@@StoneDog2011 Holy cow what a DEAL!! I'm excited for your huge gym upgrade! Thank you for sharing and also watching! 💪

Got mine during prime too

@@vinib72 you got a smoking deal! Congrats on your sweet gym upgrade!! 💪

Those simple hands position hacks really change the feel. They feel more secure than normal dumbbells. Thank you for watching! 😁

Thank you! Yes depending on the weight you choose you can change onto the outside chambers for sumo. Thank you for watching!

Thank you I'm glad I can help! Yeah they usually are cheaper than the USA models. Yes the $700 was both expansions. I've seen the prices fluctuate. Maybe keep your eye on them and wait for a price drop 💪

Congratulations on getting some powerblocks! You just did a major upgrade for your gym! I understand your concern on the selector clip. It's magnetic and holds onto the weight you pick. Plus when you lift the weight out of the stack the selected weight rests on the clip so it really can't go anywhere. On the not wanting to damage the weights when you slide them back in you just have to be mindful of doing it. Honestly after a while I stopped being as careful putting them back and they still show very little signs of wear. They are built really well! I hope that helps! If you have any other questions I'm happy to help! Thanks for watching!

The U90s are awesome! I like their styling too. True, 90lbs is good for most people. I freaking love how quick the weight change is. I had the screw on and off dumbbells for a while and it took so long I didn't even want to bother. How long have you had yours?

@@SelfBuilt About 3 years. I had the Ironmasters before, but the handles were a little thick and weight changes are cumbersome. Big fan of the IM bench & accessories however.

@@bmwofboganville456 that's awesome! I've seen the iron masters dumbbells they are a really cool idea. What accessories do you like from IM?

@@SelfBuilt Leg ext/leg curl, crunch & hyper extension. Also the crunch attachment can be used as a leg brace for a DIY high pulley.

@@bmwofboganville456 those are awesome! Dang if you have all those you got a pretty solid setup! 💪

Those are great! I've really really enjoyed switching from cushioned to knurled. It seemed a bit pricey at the beginning when I bought the handles but I would definitely do it again. Much better control and feel. I have a video talking and showing how to do it if you are interested, let me find it.

@@SelfBuilt Thanks for the prompt reply. Ended up going w/Elite USA 90's w/the knurled grips, since they didn't cost extra. Thought about getting the stage 2 upgrade but had to watch cost so maybe those will be on sale at some point in the future. Anyway, looking forward to trying them out- Love the concept w/such a small footprint vs. full dumbbell set.

@@jeremydwyer2724 Those are going to be awesome, I'm excited for you!! What a great bonus to have it come knurled. Yeah I see the expansions go on sale multiple times a year. They have been my top favorite upgrade and yeah the tiny footprint is great. I'm happy to help with any other questions if you have any. Have a great day!

That's a bummer that the 100 Exps seem too bulky. I was excited to see that they were heavier. There are lots of great adjustable dumbbells to choose from. I'm so surprised that mine are only $287 right now. I've done hex press with them and they have been good. I've really quite enjoyed them. You have a good point and can always sell yours if you aren't happy with them. There is always a market for gym equipment. Anything else I can help with?

@@SelfBuilt hey thanks so much for the reply! how loud are these when doing bicep work? do the plates jangle around loudly?

@@uppperkase No problem! I reply as soon as I'm able. I really don't notice any noise when curling. I normally workout with music. If I don't have any music and I shake the dumbbells I'll hear a small jangle noise. It's never been distracting for me. Do the 100 exp have any jangle to them?

cool, cool. yes, but i think its mainly from the 2.5 add ons. i’ll have to try them without them inserted when i get home. can you do forearm exercises with these?

@@uppperkase I think your right. I haven't used my inserts for a while to balance them more. The only forearm work I'm able to do with mine are hammer and reverse grip curls. Do yours come with the metal knurled grip?

I didn't believe it. I just checked and that's an amazing price!!! Thank you for the update!

@@SelfBuilt The gains are coming my friend! Anytime!

@@jamesdavid6451 Great to hear! The more gains we get the better! 😀

That is great to know! I didn't do any dimension comparisons. That might sway someone one way or the other. Thank you for sharing! 💪

Dimensions (LxWxH): ELITE USA 90: 16″ x 6″ x 6″ and ELITE EXP STAGE 3: 16″ x 6″ x 6.25″ That's a minimal difference.

@@waltkauz1978 Hey buddy! Yep. Some people get bothered by that. I probably wouldn't.

Excellent question! I've done many different exercises holding the two chambers and haven't had any worries. I biggest thing is you have to leave enough room for your hands to fully wrap around for a good grip. Otherwise, you might be treading into dangerous territory. WIth my hand size that limits me to no more than 60lbs.
