Step 1:
On top of the PowerBlockâs core handles are colour-coded weight charts, in kilograms, to help the user select the weight to lift. Whether they choose the 2.5kg or 4.5kg handles will determine the final weight selection.
Step 2:
After checking that the correct core handle is in place for their chosen weight, the user pulls out the flex pin from its starting position and reinserts it so that it is either side of the coloured rail that matches the colour chosen on the weight chart in Step 1.
Step 3:
The user then places their hand inside the PowerBlock, gripping the core handle firmly and lifts it upwards, leaving the unwanted plates behind on the rack stand.
Step 4:
With the selected weight lifted, the user can now perform the exercise with a single PowerBlock or pair of PowerBlocks together (this will depend on the exercise). The same range of exercises can be performed with PowerBlocks as any fixed-weight dumbbells and the square design of the PowerBlock can offer increased comfort and balance over the traditional design.
