I currently have the powerblock classic 50 dumbell set, can I use these dumbells along with the ez curl bar and if so how?

Your better off calling Powerblock directly. I did and they answered a similar question for me.

Choose a weight for the dumbells i.e. 25lbs per dumbell and place them on the ground, one at each end of the curling bar. Then disconnect the weights from the dumbell handle and drop the end of the curling bar into the weights and lock them in.

Yes but the cylindrical inserts from the classic blocks will not fit in the bar blocks

Yes. I have the Classic 50 plus set and works great with EZ curl bar. I use it while traveling, love it!

Yeah, the plates are 1". I don't think that any old standard plates would work with the handles though. Or they might, but the fit would suck and you'd have a potentially hazardous situation on your hands. The Ironmaster handles are designed for their square plates, and not the usual round plates. And, if you want to use the weight plates on a standard bar, Ironmaster sells a bar for use specifically for the weight plates. You might have to check out the max weight on the Ironmaster standard bar though. It might not hold enough for you.

No idea. I weigh about 200lbs and I use 50-75lb dumbells and have no issues.

They'll work with any kind of dumbbell as long as the handles are round. The hooks cradle the dumbbell handles, not the dumbbell itself. Sounds like a nonsense answer but that's the best way to put it. My only concern while using them was putting them back on the bar. I found the view somewhat obstructed so I had to kind of fell my way back to the bar. It depended on how wide of a grip I was using on the dumbbell press. Overall, they're worth the money. Good luck with them.

Grip 4orce can definitely be used because that's just a matter of you squeezing down on them. As for Fat Gripz or Iron Bull goes the bar is thin and you'll get that annoying spin. A simple remedy is get some thin flexible rubber padding to place over the bar before applying the thick bar adapter of your choice. Yeah it's a bummer you just cant get a true 1" barbell bar. It's actually 7/8". 14" long dumbbell handles are the same thickness as this 5' bar, but 17" dumbbell handles allow adapter grips to fit snuggly. Go figure.

This will help with dead lifts and one arm row and hammer curls. This is what i use them for.

Yeah that would be fine. I use then on my EZ bar sometimes. As long as its 1-inch too.

Not for me when it comes to curls. They only make it awkward to do bench and incline bench presses until you have them filled up with weight. I like to heave them up from my knee when I lay back on the bench. It's hard to do that when there is a few inches of threaded rod sticking out.

A lot, unfortunately- ez bar, adjustable dumb bells, or three to four dumb bell handle sets with several different weight a pull up bar, and an adjustable bench. You're told you can get by with less, but using bands instead of dumb bells won't provide the results you want, and using a stability ball for a bench is possible, but less than optimal. You also have to factor in the cost of food and whatever supplements you choose to use. So, a lot of equipment needed, but the program really does deliver on its promise of adding muscle. You just have to decide if the look is worth the cash.

Yes, you can use an olympic bar. I use a Rogue 45 lb male barbell and works just fine.

Yes you can. Each pair comes with 4 2.5 plates. All the other plates are 5 lbs each. Upgrade kit consists of 22.5 plates. These are one of the 2 best adjustable dumbbells (powerblock being the other) and if you get them you will be happy with your purchase "Osamabin laden" really!? Well it's not any better than my user name lol!

yes, you can do seated curls. As for if you can hold the dumbbells with two hands, that depends on how large your hands are. I would think the average man's hand would not be able to, but a woman's would. Hope this helps.

Hello! These power hooks are good quality. For dumbell squats or presses they work well. If the bowflex has a straight surface then it will work. If not you could rig up a system on the wall. Hope this helps

For the weights for the leg curls it is a 1" bar. As for the bench it probably doesn't matter as long as the bar is long enough. I bought a 2" bar but as long as the bar is wide enough a 1" would work. The bar I bought is 7' long and that is what I would reccomend.

probably, they attach to a cable on a pulley with a Carabiner - This looks like BOWFLEX Power Pro method for the bar at its top.I don't have one but they work find with my Powerline Cable Crossover. check the size of the carabiner for a proper fit.

Unfortunately this device was designed to be used primarily with an ez-curl bar or a straight bar. Using dumb bells can be tricky...mat be difficult to maintain balance. Hope this helps.

Don't get them man, They're really very awkward. (try to imagine how long each bar is. They're both made to hold 100lbs in plates!) 18-20 inches long. If you're used to extending to where the weights almost touch you will dislike them. If you go straight up and down like a robot then I def recommend them. Start buying sold dumbbells one by one. It will be worth the money.
