You’ll want one of these sets with a max weight of 90 lbs even if you can’t lift such heavy weight yet. PowerBlock EXP : Expandable to 90 lbs with Stage 3 Set.Sport EXP : Expandable to 90 lbs with Stage 3 Set.Elite : Expandable to 90 lbs with Elite 90.Pro EXP : Expandable to 90 lbs with Stage 3 Set.There are four of these heavy models, listed below: The heavy PowerBlock dumbbell models are all expandable to a max weight of 90 lbs per hand.
