Any manly-men here tried the Bowflex "system?" I'm just

wondering since they spend so much on advertising if anyone has even seen one? I've not been in a gym that had one. It seems like a sensible approach, maintaining a more even muscle tension than weights. Still, I think the exertion necessary to balance barbells also has benefit.

I tried the Bowflex at home for a couple of years and had little to show for it. I am not sure why but I never liked the feel of the rods and the handles were awfully cheap and uncomfortable. I purchased a Hoist V2 home gym that occupies about the same amount of space as the Bowflex, plus a bench with dumbbells, and I am stronger (at age 54) than I have ever been.

But opinions are mixed. Try the John Stone Fitness forum for pretty good objective advice

I was under the opposite impression that as you make the "bows" bend more resistance increases making each lift nonlinear compared to free weight.

Ah... the faint aroma of relevancy!
- 38 Super, huh? I prefer the 357SIG for everyday carry/PD. (NT) - jeffreybehr 14:08:38 10/19/10 (1)

    357Sig is a nice caliber, but too much for most people, especially in a compact gun.
