The PowerBlock Sport Series dumbbells are a versatile and space-saving exercise solution designed for home use, offering a range of adjustable weights to suit various fitness levels and workout needs. These selectorized dumbbells replace multiple traditional dumbbells, making them ideal for compact spaces while providing a comprehensive strength training experience.
The primary function of PowerBlock Sport Series dumbbells is to provide an adjustable weight system for strength training. Each dumbbell set consists of a handle, a nested stack of weight plates, and a selector pin. Users can quickly and easily change the weight by inserting the selector pin into the desired weight slot on the side rails, effectively selecting a specific number of weight plates to be lifted with the handle. This mechanism allows for rapid transitions between different exercises and weight intensities, enhancing workout efficiency. The Sport EXP models further enhance this adjustability with a variable weight handle that can be set to 5, 7.5, or 10 lbs by adding or removing "adder weights" from within the handle itself. This "micro loading" capability allows for finer adjustments in weight, enabling users to gradually increase resistance and "fine-tune" their training. The tether cord, which attaches the selector pin to the top-most weight plate side rail, serves as both a safety retainer and a means to prevent the pin from being misplaced.
The PowerBlock Sport Series dumbbells are designed for intuitive and safe operation. To select a weight, the user first sets the handle weight by adjusting the adder weights within the handle (for Sport EXP models). The adder weights are removed or inserted by turning the Adder Lock to the "open" position and sliding them out or in. Once the desired handle weight is set, the Adder Lock must be returned to the "closed" position. Next, the user refers to the weight chart on the handle or side rails to identify the appropriate slot for their target weight. The selector pin, which contains magnetic blocks, is then inserted horizontally and fully engaged into the chosen slot on the side rails, ensuring the magnetic blocks make firm contact with the round side rails. It is crucial to always check that the selector pin is fully inserted and engaged before lifting. When lifting, the dumbbell should be raised straight up from the center grip of the handle only. Turning the handle sideways while lifting or attempting to lift from any other part of the PowerBlock can cause the weights to jam or dislodge, leading to potential injury. The tether cord ensures the selector pin remains attached to the weight stack, preventing it from falling out during use or being lost. Optional PowerBlock stands are available to provide convenient storage and further ease of weight selection, keeping the dumbbells at an accessible height and offering dedicated spots for adder weights when not in use. Users are advised to avoid striking the PowerBlocks together or against other equipment during exercise, as this can dislodge the selector pin.
Proper care and maintenance are essential to ensure the longevity and safe operation of PowerBlock Sport Series dumbbells. Before each use, users should inspect the dumbbells for any worn, damaged, or loose parts, fasteners, or hardware. Any worn parts, including bolts, should be replaced at the first sign of wear to prevent injury. All bolts should be checked and tightened prior to each use. It is critical never to drop the PowerBlock dumbbells from a height exceeding 12 inches, as this can damage the weight plates and floor surfaces, and may void the warranty. Similarly, forcefully striking the dumbbells against each other or other equipment should be avoided, as this can cause product damage and potential personal injury by dislodging the selector pin. The PowerBlock products are not designed for user servicing, and users should never attempt to disassemble the handle. For any service needs, users are directed to contact an authorized PowerBlock retailer or PowerBlock, Inc. directly. Maintaining a clear workout area free from potential interference is also recommended before beginning any exercise. Regular inspection and adherence to these maintenance guidelines will help preserve the functionality and safety of the PowerBlock Sport Series dumbbells.
