Powerblock bench/stand combo

[Jetigen]

I have this Powerblock bench and stand combo for Elite series. It's basically a Powertec bench attached to the stand. And it has a foot pad. I find it very convenient to use for doing dumbbell exercises. When folded it doesn't take up a lot of space. Powerblock doesn't sell it nor does amazon and ebay. On the bottom of the bench it says Folding Dumbbell Bench and on the top Selector Dumbbell System. I bought it on CL. Thought to share with you, guys. Here are some pictures of it.

Thanks for sharing the pics. I was wondering about your setup when you mentioned it in the other thread. Very cool. Repped.

Hey man, just wondering how much you bought it for? I just bought mine yesterday, same bench combo but the blocks are sport block 90lbs per hand, I paid 375 for everything. Did. Get a good deal. Also want add, Im planning on selling my old setup, powerblock elite 50s with travel bag and a beat up powerblock bench!! So I pretty much upgraded! !

I use the powerblock urethane series. 50's now, upgrades to 70's, 90's and finally 125's. Love them.

Congrats! I paid $500 for my set (including dumbbells). It retailed for around $1k. Mine was in like new condition. I upgraded my PB Elites to 135lbs since. I don't think I'll ever get rid of the combo. I use it a lot. Never thought that a dedicated dumbbell bench would be a good idea; but it's.

Glad I bought the combo, he originally wanted 450 but we made a deal and I scored it for 375!!! What breaks is the equipment you have under the mirror? ?

Thanks alot bro! ! I tried replying in the other tread but it won't let me. . I'm seriously consider buying this!!! Once again thanks alot! !

Damn, those looks awesome..

I'm envious you guys get Powerblocks for dirt cheap..

I reside in Singapore and it costs an arm and a leg to get Powerblocks..

For the U90 with the stand, it costs SGD 1,600 new.. That's USD 1263.. Unbelievable, but I had a friend who bought the combo..

Hardly even get any ads on CL for these, and if they do, they'd still cost in the region of 1 grand or so..

Guess I'd never get these Powerblocks, not unless they drop it by half the price..

And we don't have Ironmasters here too.. =/

That sucks dude! !! What about eBay? Ill probably list my old set there, see if it sells, there some people who will ship .. but my best advice is to keep looking, everyday! ! I looked for months trying to find the upgrades for my elite 50s. And I ran into this deal I couldn't pass! !! IRONIC, the next day eBay had the elite upgrades for 130 lol. . Oh well.. don't give up mate! !!

I want to throw in here how great a company PowerBlock is. When I was deployed in 04-05 to Iraq I contacted them to see if they would even ship to where I was, I wanted a powerblock and bench.. They sent everything for free. I was very surprised.

[chillon1985]

Wow! ! From wheel chair to this! ! Congratulations and thank-you for your service. . I was a deputy from 2007-2013 . Starting a knew life and going back to school. . The politics from the department made me decide to move on, plus I had a torn meniscus, still dealing with a bad ankle sprain that occurred in November 2012. So I had no choice. Anyways! ! That was awesome and a nice gesture from the company!

Nice. You are the only other user here I know has this bench/dumbbell combo. Belatedly repped.

I found on YouTube a training video of Mike Chang from Six Pack Shortcuts showing off his two sets of Powerblock DBs and Powerblock Sports bench with dip and pull-up attachments. Pretty sweet combo for space challenged.

This picture was uploaded today in the "Look what I bought today" thread:

anyhow here's what i picked up today for $650: it's a powerblock u-90 stage 2 kit with adjustable bench and rack.

[Domicron]

old thread, but here's one i just picked up today. i saw this thread while doing some research and decided to pick it up.

not sure i can leave it here, but here's where i have it now:


folded up:


i have enough room with it folded up (i need more horse stall mats) but it blocks the mirror...we'll see


the stage 2 u-90's don't quite fit on the stand. is it a problem that they hang off a little bit?


the seat doesn't adjust very smoothly from flat to incline/decline angles. i dunno what's the reason. it's not a huge deal, but it'd be nice if it were smoothly.

Congrats!

The stand was probably designed for the Classic/Elite series...or maybe the lighter urethane I'm not sure if it would cause any problems but it may cause some abnormal wear on the plates that hang over the edge. You could just leave that last increment on the floor until you need it.

Might get Home Depot to cut him 3/4" ply and bolt it to the surface. But you need to measure the depth of tge lip at the bottom to make sure the blocks won't slide off.

thanks, i'll take a look and just set the bottom increment on the floor. i can't QUITE curl that much at the moment anyway.

[chillon1985]

Quick fix bro, check it out, all I had to do was find a rubber washer, cut it a bit to make it fit and problem solved, let's than 2 minutes, washer probably 50 cents at your local hardware store

check it out, quick fix, buy a rubber washer, trim it and place it between, look at the pic, nice setup, makes 3 of us with the powerblock bench combo!!!

[Domicron]

just realized your bench is different than mine, if only by the labels. mine is branded "powerblock" and doesn't have the label on the bottom.

thanks man, i'll give that a shot.

[chillon1985]

Oh yeah man they are different, mine is better!! Just kidding seriously keep us posted on this issue.
