How would I select the best set to buy? If I get the beginner set, can I continue using them after gaining strength? Or have to purchase a new set?

You can use the entire set because you can use more than one band as you get stronger You can add single, stronger bands as you go

You can use the entire set whether your a beginner or advanced because you can user more than one band as you get stronger.

Hi Scott, I was in the same situation- as we had just bought our new home. I took the chance and ordered 5 sets (no special requests), and they all 5 came with the same mfg. #. I priced these at Lowe's and saved alot of money. I say go for it!

I liked the bowflex, but as I never need any weights over 20 lbs (and the bowflex only has a 5-50lb option), I'm getting the powerblock 3lb to 21lb set. Saves me $200

I purchased the set as is from Amazon. Contacting the seller might be a better source for the information you seek.

seems you are doing quite well with the blue ones. the orange ones would be a great fit. the most important thing is not enclosing the the grips. of course that would help. the most important thing is to keep it under control and keeping it balanced with the weights that you use. I use the orange ones for dumbbells as they are easier to control.

I personally have never used the Bowflex weights, but as with other curious people on the internets, I've done extensive research online as well as received personal recommendations from friends who have PowerBlocks whom have also told me they outperform Bowflex in terms of build quality.After using the PowerBlocks for a couple of months now, not once did I feel that these were going to fall apart on me whenever I do any exercises involving them going over my head. Highly recommend!

I just bit the bullet and purchased two new 20 lb all pro adjustable ankle weights. I used my previous pair (nearly every other day) for 15 years until I became too frustrated to deal with my worn-out cuffs. Obviously the actual 1 lb weights did not wear out, but I wasn't able to purchase replacement cuffs. If you can figure out how to get replacement cuffs then you are the man, but I think you will end up buying a new set like I did. Shipping is now free compared to 6 years ago when I first wanted to replace the weights. Keep that in mind as a consolation*

Buying a second set you will end up with some pieces you don't use - a second damage deck and the second set of maneuver templates for example (unless you intend on playing both sides of a match from your own materials). But there are pieces you will use - the TIE's for example, will save you have to buy two of the handful of TIE expansions you'd want to pick up if playing a TIE swarm. The X-Wing will serve as a rookie to bulk out a Rebel Squad. The dice are essential - many attacks calling for four die, or many defenses adding to the die you need - and the three of each in a single box are simply not enough. I think it's worth the outlay.

This is my first set and I'm very happy with it... And yes for your question!

To get the size would be very helpful. I would like to buy it at the same place, or should I purchase the whole set some where else? Please respond ASAP.

I bought the set because the value is great. I bought a separate bar and I recommend you do so. The value for the weights alone is worth the purchase!

I would not recommend this set to anybody...but I don't think your size would be an issue. I am 6'3" and 210 pounds and all was well as far as size is concerned. It is an inexpensive machine...and I ended up not liking it and selling it for 50 bucks. Spend more and enjoy your workout!

Yes, you can. I have different brands I use. So far, no problems. I just have to work on my technique. Getting better each time.

I have a couple of the basic sets as well as the construction set. The more sets they have the more they can make. I recommend starting with the basic set and see how they like it and build from there. My grandchildren 3-13 all love it!

You can pick up a used set for under 20 bucks which includes the shipping even. I can let you know how it works next week when my second set gets here. Better jump on them tho, i see the prices are fluctuating.

It's really simple to get a set of weights at big5 sporting goods...or any outlet such as that.....check our friends at amazon for a set of "free" weights...usually 110 lb. starter set. Other than not being sold with weights...a very nice machine!

I ordered 3.0 strength. I believe they have a few options that you can order. When you start placing the order it should let you choose the strength that you need.
