Unfortunately stage 2 and 3 won’t fit for the PowerBlock Elite international version many of us bought off of woot a few months ago. Make sure you have the USA version before you purchase. Wish I had seen this first so I could have bought the three stages together.
Are these the same model as currently sold on Powerblocks website?
Or an older model?
Thank you. I made the mistake.
So… Talked with powerblock. Nice customer service (Ashley). Powerblock Elite is the family. USA (this one) is made in the USA. The EXP is made in China. Long story EXP was made and pushed during the Pandemic as supply shortages domestic. They are the same but different the biggest issue they said is imperial to metric. That’s why they are not interchangeable. (the lock for the cylinder weights are slightly different too.) so Powerblock only sells the USA version on thier website and allows thier retailers to sell the EXP. The will sell EXP but you must contact them directly to minimize confusion.
I have the EXP from the scratch and dent sale here. Bought these last sale and it looks like it would fit but DOES Not. I had to send the USA stage 2 and 3 but still have the Stage 1 EXP. I hope this helps others.
They should switch the USA to the EXP, its better engineering/ergonomics.
sorry for the late answer. For future reference:
“This is what is currently sold on powerblock.com”
