Question 1

What is the difference between the elite exp usa vs elite exp (2020 version)?

Accepted Answer

This question is over a year old, but some of the answers were incorrect, so for others interested in this question please read this. First of all they are very similar.  They  are both expandable to 90 lbs,  Same increments and adder weights, closed handle design and five year limited warranty.

Now here are the differences:

1.  All Powerblock products are produced in China except for Powerblock Elite USA (not just the Elite EXP 2020 version).  The country of origin will be engraved on the weight block.

2.  The expandable weights (Stage 2 and Stage 3) are not fully compatible between Elite USA and Elite EXP 2020 version.  Elite USA expansion Stage 2 and Stage 3 will not fit with Elite EXP 2020 version (50lbs powerblock is also known as Stage 1).  So if you buy the Elite EXP 2020 version do not purchase from Powerblocks website expansion set.  Only purchase from other vendors (like walmart and Dicks sporting goods).  Elite EXP 2020 dimensions are bigger than the Elite USA so they will technically fit on the Elite USA, but it will not look right since they will look bigger on it.

Of note:  Many users answer this question stating that Elite EXP 2020 is not expandable and that is false.  It is available from other vendors other than Powerblock website.  Make sure you get the right one.

3.  As I mention their sizes are slightly different.  The Elite USA's are slightly smaller, but looks very similar otherwise.

4.  The adder weight open/close locking mechanism are differenct.  Elite USA has a manual lock mechanism while Elite EXP version 2020 has an auto lock mechanism.

In my opinion these two powerblock weights are very similar and at similar price point I would choose the Elite USA (support local enconomy).  Otherwise there is nothing wrong with choosing the better price of the Powerblocks.
