The Elite Series consists of just one expandable model: The Elite USA, which is sometimes called the USA Elite or the Elite 50/70/90. Technically, you could say the Elite USA includes 3 separate sets — the Elite 50, Elite 70 and Elite 90 — but these are just 3 different stages of the same model. If budget is a major concern, then either the Elite 90 set or the Sports EXP Stage 3 set may be the best choice for you. I’ll discuss those models next. #2 Elite USA 90 Set & #3 Sport EXP Stage 3 Set

Note: There is also the Elite EXP, sold by third parties, but that is beyond the purview of this article.) I’ll only discuss the home-use Pro Series models (i.e. Pro EXP, Pro 50, Pro 24). I won’t discuss the Commercial Pro Series dumbbells, which cost A LOT more and are typically used in athletic training facilities. I’m looking to get my first set of adjustable weights and considering the PB (other contender is the Core Fitness set). For the PBs, since this is my first set and I’m reluctant to commit until I know I’ll truly use them, wondering if an older used model of PB would be a good start. That being said, if I’m looking to get a used model, it seems like a U90 50lb set would be the way to go? Any other thoughts on models I should consider/look for?The Elite Series dumbbells are not compatible with any accessories. The only models besides the Pro EXP and Pro 50 that are compatible with any of these accessories are the Commercial Pro 90 and 50, as well as the discontinued U50/U70/U90 sets. Manufacturing Thanks for the reply. Is the Elite 90 expandable to 125 with the kit? Or are the “commercial” lines the only ones that can be expanded beyond 90 lbs now. Reply Widely acclaimed as the world’s best adjustable dumbbells, their unique modular construction is the only system that can expand to match your increasing strength, meaning you no longer need dozens of cast iron weights to achieve a comprehensive workout. Most people don't need a kitted-out power strip with surge protection, and if you're one of them, you're better off choosing something that's affordable like this one from Anker that offers 2,100 joules of protection. That's more than enough for your basic devices like smartphones, laptops, and printers, which is what most people have in their offices.

Each model has its own positives and negatives, described below, which makes choosing between the two such a difficult decision. A lot of the customers who buy the 125 lb+ models are athletic training facilities and even some commercial gyms, so I think that’s why they made only the commercial sets that go that high — because those applications require the heavy weight and also they need the commercial warranty. They are expandable to 90 lbs. Even very advanced lifters rarely need more than that. If they do, it’s only for a small handful of exercises (e.g. one arm row, dumbbell bench press). Like you mention, there are other mentions of urethane issues online, and while I don’t know the specific circumstances of those cases, the ones I’ve seen are from the discontinued Urethane Series — which have since been replaced by the Pro Series.NOTE: Although the 90 lb Pro EXP Stage 3 set would be my ideal first choice, I understand that budget is very important for most people, myself included… That said, they only offer one grip style, making it difficult to adopt a crush grip (two hands around the handle), nor can you grasp the ‘bell’ element of a traditional dumbbell when performing goblet sumo squats and the like. But who knows, maybe they add the Stage 4 for us in the future. At least for me, though, I’m still good with 90 lbs for my DB work. I save the heavy stuff for barbells 😀 If you are still having problems with your computer after completing these instructions, then please follow one of the steps:

Belkin is a trusted name in electronics, and this power strip surge extension doesn't fall far from the tree. It has eight AC outlets, which is enough for most people, and two USB Type-A ports, which makes it an excellent and affordable option for the office. That's especially with that 6.6-foot cord, allowing it to be more versatile in terms of placement. Excellent writeup! Just started looking for adjustable dumbells and leaning towards a PB, only to find out there are so many models it’s daunting. I think you’ve helped narrow it down to the Elite 90….I think. Wait, must reread article! Reply However, it would be foolish to make such an expensive investment without first attaining all the knowledge needed to make the correct choice.
