PowerBlock? SelectTech? Recommendations?

Hi.
I have purchased a F/I/D bench and would like to get a nice dumbell
set. I am working in a space-saving mindset and wonder how folks like
the Powerblock? or the SelectTech? I am an endurance athlete(triathlon,
distance cycling/running) and want to build more lean body mass, so I
do not need heavy weights. I am hoping to be able to get what I need w/
this set-up.
Any recommendations are greatly appreciated.

Hi,

I am not familiar with the Select Tech but I have an 85 lb. Powerblock
Pro set with their stand and i am very happy with it.

Dumbbells and a bench should work well for the OP (along with the proper
movements). The PB is convenient, if not expensive. But if you've got the
cash, go for it.

I've had the Powerblock pro rexan 5-45 lb. (50 lbs. per dumbbell
w/adder weights) set for about a year now, and am extremely well
pleased with it. Very well made, and switching weight really is as
smooth and quick as claimed.

The reason I picked this particular set at the time was because:

[1] The two adder weights (metal cylinders) that can be placed in the
base of each block, allowing one to change weight in 2.5 to 5 lb.
increments if desired. Not all the sets have this feature.

[2] Expandability potential. This particular set can be upgraded to
up to 125# per block. Again, not all the sets have this feature so
choose wisely.
