How are the reviews on the 90lb set? That's where I would start. I have the 50lb set and like it a lot, the 90lb set definitely adds some versatility.

Had those for years, so glad I switched to Powerblocks; and the 90 pounds is worth it, 50 is good but can't do a lot of exercises with such lighter weight. Shrugs, lunges, DB Bench, rows, ect are limited by a 50 pound cap.
Short cuts to success are often paved with lies.
1/13/16: Massive hernia.
5/10/16: Finally back to lifting, light but improving.

I have had the 90 lb ones + stand for years, highly recommend, they saved my gains during quarantine and over the years always came in handy to get in some kind of workout times I couldn’t make it to the gym, if I was a purely home gym guy I would def never be without them, best lifting related investment I ever made
