Step 1:
On top of the PowerBlock is a colour-coded weight chart in kilograms to help you select the weight you want to lift. Inside the core handle are the two 1kg ‘adder’ weights and whether you are choosing to have one, both or none of these weights inside the handle, will also determine the weight you are going to lift.
Step 2:
After checking that the core handle has the correct number of ‘adder’ weights for your chosen lift, pull out the flex pin from its starting position and reinsert 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:
Place your hand inside the PowerBlock, gripping the core handle firmly and lift it upwards, leaving the unwanted plates behind on the stand (or on the floor, if you are not training near the stand).
Step 4:
With your selected weight you can now perform the exercise with a single PowerBlock or pair of PowerBlocks together (this will depend on the exercise). You can perform the same range of exercises with PowerBlocks as any fixed-weight dumbbells and the square design of the PowerBlock, can offer increased comfort and balance over the traditional round dumbbell.
