I didn't list this as a major issue because of the weight limit, and for someone looking for minimize workout area size they might not have room for a power rack anyways.Ħ. Don't know if that would fit on a power rack. The bar without the weights is 40 inches (55 inches including the area for the weights). Don't know if the rectangle shape of the weight vs the round shape of barbell plates would make any sort of real-world difference.ĥ.

(Again, website plus they confirmed over email).Ĥ. Don't know personally how much a difference this really makes with 195lb's. The bar does not rotate like an Olympic bar does.

#POWER BLOCKS BAR PRO#
In this Best Fit showdown, Men’s Health fitness editor Brett Williams, NASM, and fitness director Ebenezer Samuel, C.S.C.S., pit the Bowflex SelectTech 552 and the PowerBlock Pro Series Expandable against each other to see how each adjustable dumbbell set performs. Allowing you a wide range of loads in a small package, adjustable weights provide the convenience of a home workout station without sprawling across half your bedroom floor.
That’s where adjustable dumbbells can be so valuable. Raise your hand if you’ve seen a corner-or perhaps more than that-of your bedroom or living room morph into a glorified weight rack over the past two years.
