Product description
PowerBlock Pro 100 EXP Knurled: Stage 1 adjustable dumbbells
One set that replaces a full dumbbell rack and grows with you. The PowerBlock Pro 100 EXP Stage 1 is adjustable from about 2 to 18 kg per hand and can later be expanded up to 45 kg using separate expansion kits. This knurled version features a machined stainless steel grip for maximum control during heavy sets. The same system is used worldwide by top athletes, defense forces, and professional fitness centers.
What do you get with the Stage 1 set?
Stage 1 is the basic set and immediately a fully functional, ready-to-use dumbbell set, meaning you do not need an extra kit to start training. Per hand, you adjust from about 2 to 18 kg (5–40 lb).
- Two adjustable dumbbells (pair), knurled grip
- Magnetic selector pin per dumbbell for quick weight changes
- Included micro weights for small increments
- Color coding on the handles for instant weight recognition
The open interior of the frame provides ample freedom of movement, ensuring the dumbbell feels natural during every exercise.
How do you adjust the weight?
You change the weight in two steps. For large increments, move the magnetic selector pin to the desired level, which takes seconds without any unscrewing. For small increments, use the auto-lock lever and the included micro weights, allowing you to adjust in steps of 2.5 lb (≈ 1.1 kg).
This micro-loading is precisely what makes the Pro 100 EXP suitable for progressive strength training: you go slightly heavier while maintaining correct technique, instead of making large weight jumps.
How does the set grow with you? The stage system
The Pro 100 EXP is designed to be the last dumbbell set you will ever buy. You start with Stage 1 and expand later with separate expansion kits. The stages are cumulative and added in order; each kit comes in a pair and adds weight to both dumbbells.
| Stage | Max. per hand | Requis |
| Stage 1 (this set) | environ 18 kg (40 lb) | : |
| Stage 2 kit | environ 27 kg (60 lb) | Stage 1 |
| Kit Stage 3 | environ 37 kg (80 lb) | Stage 1 + 2 |
| Kit Stage 4 | environ 45 kg (100 lb) | Stage 1 + 2 + 3 |
You cannot skip a stage. The advantage: you spread the investment and let the dumbbells grow with your strength, without having to buy an entire extra rack of dumbbells later. Building up in steps ultimately costs no more than purchasing everything all at once.
Why the knurled version?
"Knurled" refers to the grip: machined stainless steel with a fine diamond pattern. This texture provides more grip than a smooth finish and is the better choice when training heavy and with wet hands. The alternative TPR grip feels softer and less rough, choose knurled if control under heavy loads is your priority.
Saves space, one system for everything
Fully expanded (all four stages), the Pro 100 EXP replaces up to 30 pairs of classic dumbbells. This saves considerable space: ideal for a home gym where every square meter counts. With the optional kettlebell handle, you can also convert the same set into an adjustable kettlebell; bar attachments for additional exercises are coming soon.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I train with Stage 1 only or do I need an expansion kit? You can train immediately with Stage 1 only. It is a complete set ranging from approximately 2 to 18 kg per hand. You only need an expansion kit if you want to go heavier than 18 kg.
How much does the Pro 100 EXP Stage 1 weigh per hand? Adjustable per hand from approximately 2 kg to 18 kg (5 to 40 lb), in small increments thanks to the micro weights.
Do I need to buy the stages in order? Yes. Stage 2 requires Stage 1, Stage 3 requires Stage 1 and 2, and Stage 4 requires Stage 1, 2, and 3. You cannot skip a stage.
What is the difference between the knurled and the TPR grip? The knurled grip is machined stainless steel with a diamond pattern for maximum grip during heavy sets. The TPR grip is softer and less rough. For heavy training, knurled is the better choice.
How quickly do I change weights? In seconds. For large increments, move the magnetic selector pin; for fine increments, use the micro weights with the auto-lock lever.
Can I turn it into a kettlebell? Yes, with the optional Pro 100 kettlebell handle you can convert the same dumbbells into an adjustable kettlebell.
