Powerblock Pro 100 EXP vs Elite Exp - Which one is recommended for beginners and to buy for life?
I can't decide whether to get the pro 100 exp or the more budget friendly elite exp. The knurled handles I believe are the only big difference, as well as the more opened design, but is the price justifiable? I believe there are other small cons of the pro 100 exp, such as somewhat better durability, but isn't it only a small difference compared to elite exp? Further, as a beginner is knurled handles important if I want to maximise performance? The elite exp comes with the rubber handles.
The elite exp costs less, and provides more weight. It goes up to 90 pounds, but that's more than enough for me. I will most likely only get the stage 2 version of the elite exp which goes to 70 pounds, which will last me a while.
Contrastingly, powerblock pro exp 100 has 3 versions, however is quite expensive. I can get stage 2 of the elite exp similar to the price that it will costs me to get the base (40 pound) version of the pro 100 exp.
So as a somewhat beginner, would you recommend me to get pro 100 exp or elite exp and is there something I am misunderstanding about the 2, and any reasons you would recommend the pro 100 exp over elite exp from what I haven't mentioned?
