Crazy pump with 21s but not crazy gains sadly
@@letsgofishing5238 Keep going my man, the filthy pump is pushing nutrients into the muscle to stimulate growth. I like to use it as a finisher since you can't go really heavy. 💪
Does this work on your shoulders well?
@@johnnybo1559 It does a little bit. There are airbags at shoulder height that will squeeze them. No roller massage on them but it's not bad. Feels like you're getting a big hug haha.
That is a great design
@@UncleDanBand64 It's been really nice and compact. Thanks for watching! 😁
Monster Gains just from watching!
@@EAPDepartment Side effects! I better put a warning label up!
Dumbell bench with the handles on chains is freakin brilliant !! Whats the handles?
A second look looks like its rope with pins holding the weight?
@@thomdushane Thanks man!!! Yes it's just homemade rope handles attached with chain to loading pins. They were one of my first DIY additions and they are so much fun! Adds great stability training. If you are interested I have a stability video that has other ideas too I can send your way! 💪
Exactly the video I was looking for. I already had the same tools and similar setup. Thks a lot for doing this video. It helped.
@@marctiger1486 I'm happy to help! Love it when RUclips has the exact video you are looking for. Thank you for watching, if any questions arise I'm here. Best of luck, it sounds like you are good to go!
The wall mount is awesome!
@@parkersplates Thanks! Who knew the walls could make us buff?
Beautefull you home Gym 👍💪💯😉
@@royc84 Thank you so much!! I hope you have a great day! 💪😁
I'm shopping for this right now, I didn't even realize it was a brand new video
@@asdfsdfawefssfdfdfd Perfect timing! I hope it helped out, thank you for watching! Do you have any questions that I didn't answer?
Is this something you would add to your gym?
Hows the maintenance? What does it advice for cleaning and does it smell like a locker room after a while??
@@RogerStaysCreative Hey! It comes with some citrus cleaning packets for descaling but I haven't had to use it yet. I leave the door and window open once I'm done and it seems to dry out pretty fast without smells. I'll keep you posted if it starts smelling though haha.
I bought my powerblocks back in 2015. Still going strong. Still reliable. Moved to many different places with them.
@@Noobiie23 That's great to know! They seem to be built to last forever! Thank you for sharing your experience, what model do you have?
@ at the time there was only one model. Looking at the label there’s nothing other than powerblock made in USA and their patent on it
@Noobiie23 it's wild there are so many models now. I'm glad your powerblocks are rock solid though! 💪 Do they go up to 90lbs also?
@ I only had gotten the 50lbs I never got the add ons
@Noobiie23 That's still a great amount of weight 💪
Imo, it's not even a contest. Powerblocks are the best adjustable dumbbells out there.
Literally just watched your year 2 review and said “oh shit, year 3?!, 1 day ago??” Haha good stuff man. My old bow flex 1090 from 2009 have finally become unusable above 35 lbs lol I’ve been looking at these recently
@@rjcrooks1182 We got a trilogy now haha! Dang Bowflex from 2009 is a really good run! Powerblocks are great and extra great if you can snag them in a deal. If there was anything I didn't answer let me know. Thank you for watching!
Dad has a set of these and they are great!
@@parkersplates they rock my socks!! I'll glue them together so you have one dumbbell heavy enough for you 💪
I have the elite classics that I bought in 2008 up to 130lbs each. They are still 17 years later in almost new condition. They have never given me a problem and are the greatest piece of workout equipment I have ever purchased. Buy them and they will last forever.
@@franks-mw2uq Holy cow that's amazing!! 130lbs? Dang they were ahead of the game for decades. Do you remember how much they were back then? For real, I think mine has been my best gym purchase too!
💯👍💪😉
@@royc84 Thank you for watching! 💪😁
What's the biggest thing you'd like to know about PowerBlock Dumbbells?
Haha. That’s funny you posted a 3 year review. I was just searching for some deals on a pair. No luck. Sad.
@carmenshui5894 People seem to be very interested on how they hold up. Shoot, keep an eye on Amazon deals. I'd keep it in your cart and it will let you know if there is a price change. Also second hand websites can be a good option 😁
Why do you have 2 sets?
@carmenshui5894 It's for when I have someone else training with me and we can both train without having to wait. Kinda silly haha. Come on over and you can test them out!
@@SelfBuilt count me in!!! Let’s go!
DUDE!!! THANK YOU. I have the exact same smith machine - you just saved me TONS of money having to buy a new one..I will do this on mine...once again THANKS!!!!
@@vpillaiable That's amazing!! You are so very welcome and I'm glad it helped! Dude it seriously makes the smith feel SO MUCH better! Can't wait for you to try it out! If any issues arise I'm happy to help!
@@SelfBuilt Same! I have an old one like this and I will see if I can do something similar to something to mine.. I have the same issue where anything over 80 pounds has way too much drag and doesnt work corectly.
@caseyn3519 I hope this idea helps! Let me know if I can help. Thanks for watching!
Thanks!
@@len333p You're welcome! Thank you for watching!
I just got these, like the idea and size but... to get 5lb increment you need to pull/put metal cylinders every time, very annoying
@@GeorgyGobozov Yeah I totally understand. I usually leave the incremental weights in or out so it doesn't slow my workout. I'll just do more reps if the weight is a little lighter.
I have struggled in my home gym with legpress...this is exactly what i need tol build...so happy that ypu made this video..thanks for sharing
@@DanielDrottshage You are very welcome! I agree, it's pretty tricky looking for leg press options for home gyms. Thank you for watching! If you come up with any great improvements I'd love to hear about them. Good luck! 💪
This is great. I may just build my own Smith.
@@seanyounk1 That sounds like such a fun project! Thank you for watching, I'd love to hear how it turns out!
I want your opinion. I watched your video and I agree with you. The Bowflex 1090 (the ones I wanted) are made of hard plastic and they do break if dropped. So I am in the midst of purchasing Power block USA 90 lbs. for $375. Is that a good price? It does come with a stand, but the stand looks like it is for a band saw.
@@KillRbee0218 Do the USA powerblocks come with all 90lbs? Or is it 50lbs? If it's 90lbs that's a smoking deal! Either way with it coming with a stand that's a great bonus! Normally the EXP powerblocks are $360ish for just 50lbs.
Well done
@@guyesmith Thank you so much! I hope it helped and you have a great day!
I'm using the Quick Jacks for the first time. The original line connectors were very hard to connect. I use gun oil to lube the connectors which helped. I switched to the connectors you used. 4 = $98 on Amazon. My lines have male fittings at both ends. To use the new connectors I install 1/4" tapered pipe connects to the lines.
@@bux49 Great job using the QuickJacks! I agree it's a lot of effort to connect those together. I hope you liked using them. You are welcome I hope it helped!
Another RUclipsr says the pump side threads are 9/16-18 UNF not 1/4 NPT... Your links for the pump side fittings (both black and red versions) show as 1/4" NPT... Can you confirm?
@@chamberlin1 I'm not sure where 9/16 is coming from but the two I linked are 1/4 NPT and connected no problem. I hope that helps!
@@SelfBuilt yea the other guy was confident on the 9/16-18 thread on his pump... I just checked my pump (which is 2017 build BTW) and it has 1/4" NPT *male* threads through the use of a factory installed adapter... Maybe the other end of the adapter going into the pressure block is 9/16-18 female? 🤷♂️ So seems QuickJack changed things up over the years. Regardless, thanks for making the video and calling them out on crap fittings! My white o-rings look okay on the original ones, but one is leaking like a sieve. I'm just going to go ahead and get two pairs of female 1/4" NPT fittings based on your links. Thanks again!
@@chamberlin1 You could be right, they might have changed things with different models. I got mine in 2024. I could see the other end being closer to 9/16. Yeah those dang seals not only leaked but made it super hard to connect or disconnect while tearing the o rings. I hope you like the alternative! Thank you for watching I really appreciate it and hope it helps!
That is so mint I'm defo doing that on mine just need to find some in the UK cheers mate
@@mickv7135 Thank you so much, I'm happy to help! I hope you find some that you like! Cheers!
Thanks for the tips ! I want to put strap on these mais I never found how.. Maybe you have a solution ?
@@ThibaultPlm Your are welcome! What do you mean? I don't know what mais is.
@SelfBuilt sorry it's my French spell checker that changed it. I want to use straps during my pull session but I can't pass them through the Powerblock. Do you have a tip?
@Bicycletophilm Oh I gotcha haha. I noticed it's a bit tight in there too, but once I changed handles it's opened things up and I don't feel the need for straps since they seem to hold onto me now. But I agree it's a bit tight and other than changing the handle diameter I haven't come up with an alternate.
I got a old used set of powerblocks they are 15-20 years old iv been using them for 1 year and I can not say one bad thing about them. I did just order the new repins 125lb dumbells but I did not order them to replace my powerblocks I want to move one powerblock to my living room and the other to my computor room I love the fact you don't need a cradle with them so they're going to be perfect for doing little micro workouts when I'm watching RUclips the new weapons will be my new go to in my home gym dumbbell set and they just look smoking good
@@mdk42o74 That's awesome you've been using such old powerblocks! They are built to last and I like the idea of having them spread around your house so you can always get a workout in 💪 congrats on getting those repins! Those look pretty dang sweet! I've seen some videos on them and they look pretty indestructible too. You'll have to share your experience with them! I hope you really enjoy them! 💪
Can you use this in the bedroom on carpeting?
@@Gr33nie9 Yeah you can. You just need to be mindful to check the little steamer box every little bit so it doesn't overflow and get on the floor. It does have what seems to be water resistant flooring but just to be safe.
INSTALL MORE MAYBE? DISTRIBUTE THE WEIGHT MORE. TRY 8 rather then 4? THOUGHTS? 🦾😎👍
I tried this mod eith different sizes but the metal balls mark up regular concrete. My drive way was starting to look kids were drawing on it with white crayons. Scratches everywhere. Less in the garage as the concrete is a higher psi and smooth. Now looking for another mod.
@@jrpowers667 Oh dang man that's lame. I wonder if they make rubber coated bearings to not mark up your driveway. I haven't looked at options for a bit. I'll have to see if I can find anything. Let me know if you find a good option.
I like this video also - thank you and PLEASE do not stop making videos.
@@KillRbee0218 Thank you so much! I'm so glad these videos are helpful! I'll keep making more and I'm always open to new ideas and tips too! 😊
Wow, you do other stuff other than workout equipment - interesting.
@@KillRbee0218 Yes I enjoy building or really anything I can do with my hands. My automotive video's aren't a big focus but I still enjoy doing them. 👨🔧
Dude, you are truly an inventor! I will follow you from here on out and I will tell my friends. With all the stuff you have shown me, you have saved me time and money. Time from going to and from a gym and not having to pay those gym fees. I really believe I have a full on gym with all the ideas you have shown here on your page.
@@KillRbee0218 Hey thanks man I really appreciate that! I'm so glad I was able to help and that you are open to these ideas! We will definitely get you a fully functional home gym! 💪It's been a fun journey and I look forward to sharing more ideas that come!

@@toddpavelka8243 Hey thank you so much! I hope they are helpful. I got my 4 inch pulleys from Amazon. amzn.to/4gREDfg 4 inch pulleys have been a super nice upgrade. If I ever find bigger ones I'll try them out too. I'm here for ya if you have any additional questions! 😃
Do I need to get a humidifier for when I use this at home?
@@arnelturner496 Hey! No humidifier needed. It comes with a steamer that hooks up and gets things steamy.
Dude, You are freaking awesome! I just watched this video. I already have the cable tools. I used it for a cable machine I once had. I really like the idea of adding more pulleys to my smith machine. Do you have an idea of how to do a cable leg machine with your bench and smith machine?
@@KillRbee0218 Thanks man! I had fun making these upgrades! That's awesome you already have the tools! Adding pulleys to my Smith made it so much more versatile. Yeah I made a build of a bench leg curl/ extension I'll send you. ruclips.net/video/QOwEzFUvvzA/видео.html I hope that helps!

Wondering if you can help out I have a used Smith machine that I bought. I noticed that one side is goes up easier than the other side. What do you think can be the problem, is it the bearings? Can you switch those out? Do you have a video of that? Do they post to go easy or kind of hard to go up when you bench please help
@@motorizedbicyclerider5296 Hey congrats on your smith machine! It's hard to know from not knowing what your smith looks like but the first thing I'd start with is to grease each rod they go up and see if that changes things. It should feel pretty even with how it goes up and down. There shouldn't be a feeling of drag. See if each side looks similar. Try those things and let me know if anything changes.
@@SelfBuilt yes I have it. Greased up really good and still have the problem of once I going up easier than the other side. I’m thinking there’s some kind of bearings inside those things but there’s no videos of them changing it by putting new bearings or something
@motorizedbicyclerider5296 Is there any light bend in the bar or rod it glides on? If it looks straight I think you are right and bearings or bushing might need replaced. Do you know the model or your smith?
@@SelfBuilt the brand is called nautilus
@motorizedbicyclerider5296 that's a really good brand, does it have any model number or anything?
شكرا.
@@عابرسبيل-ي8و6ز Thank you for watching!
Question. How do you like the standard your using for the powder blocks? Do it seem to handle the weight. Im looking at getting it for the 120# repn's.
@@itsatoolthing6323 Hey! My dumbbell stand? It's been so great! It handles the weight just fine and I'll even do one handed rows with one hand using the stand for support. I think a dumbbell stand is the ultimate way to use adjustable dumbbells. Saves so much energy and time to have them ready to go! The 120 repn's are really cool! Those would be really fun to have also!
