Which one is the best? I'm leaning towards the powerblock dumbbells because they can go up to 135. It seems like a no brainer. But before I purchase them, does anyone have bad experiences with any of these dumbbells?

do you have a bench for incline presses ect... or are you just going to have 2 dumbbells? I would say the dumbbells, and a gym membership..but if i had to choose 1, it would most likely be the gym membership

I have a membership already. But there are times that I workout so early in the morning. It's better for me to workout at home sometimes. Especially if I bring work from home and just want a quick 40 minute workout and a quick shower.

I have a bench at home btw. I just do not have enough dumbbells. I am selling them for dirt cheap and replacing them with an all in one dumbbell set. Do you own any of them?

yeah those powerblocks are a good look if your using it as a substitute for not missing a workout, you got the bench so that opens up the possibility of a good chest workout, and some shoulder presses ect...

good luck
