Powerblock Expansion vs Rep X Pepin vs MX 100s
Hey folks, I’m looking for additional opinions.
I currently have PowerBlock dumbbells that adjust to 70lbs each, and I use these for just about everything. I don’t have a lot of room so I’d prefer not to use something as large as a full Olympic bar+ weights, as I’ve already got a hex bar that takes up a good amount of room. However, as I’ve been ramping up training lately, they really aren’t enough weight especially for dumbbell press, I’m doing a ton of reps (6-8 sets of 10-12 reps and I’m not feelinf as much as I think I should) and I’d like to have a good bit more weight.
I can get an expansion set from Powerblock to up them to 90lbs, and with the Powerblock bar, that goes up to 195 total. However I think that’s really only going to be enough for a relatively short time.
So I’m considering just biting the bullet and going for the Reppin 125lbs set or the MX 100s.
So a couple of questions: is there a bar attachment option for either the Reppins or MX? I didn’t see one when looking and that is something I really like about my powerblocks for preacher curls.
And are the Reppins good enough quality to justify the steep price/weight increase over the MX?
