    Anybody own a bowflex?

    I'm thinking of buying one and I want to hear about other webmasters' experiences with it.
    SIG TOO BIG! Maximum 120x60 button and no more than 3 text lines of DEFAULT SIZE and COLOR. Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, then you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60.

      I will tell you right now, you probably dont have a room big enough for it, Ever notice how they show people working out using that machine and they are in like a fucking factory or a gymnasium? the thing has like a 15 foot wingspan haha.

        Because I'm a webmaster.

        If it works for other webmasters it'll work for me

              They are huge, maybee not 15 feet but huge.. Get a gym membership seriously, for 30 bucks a month, you get access to 500,000 worth of equiptment. My basement is full of crap i used 3 times, now i have a membership at a 24/hour club and I go whenever i want.

                    I bought one off of ebay for $1000... sold it a year later for $1250. It worked well, but damn I just didnt have the room for it. Now I just use free weights and a bench, getting similar results, although I liked the bowflex better.

                      They did NOT get that way with bowflex.

                        I don't own one but I've used one. It's super clunky and has a very "rubbery" feeling, if that makes sense. When I work out I like hearing metal screatching, it sets the proper beat to the workout routine. That thing is very monotonous and doesn't give you an even feedback. In general, it's a POS.

                        If you decide to go to a gym, stay the fuck away from large gyms like Bally's. For more info look here: http://www.gofuckyourself.com/showth...hlight=workout
                        I couldn't possibly know what I'm talking about, I'm completely, absolutely and definitively out of my fucking mind.

                          My neighbour just got one last week. On Saturday I met him over the fence. He was scraping glass out of a picture frame that shattered when he swung back a little too far with the bowflex. He's using it for conditioning for a karate competition in December, so he's not bulking up, just improving overall strength. I can ask him how he likes it so far, if you want.

                            I have The Crossbow, which is similar to bowflex and it's big.
                            The tower is about 6'5 and it's 5'9 wide.

                            It's pretty good ,can't complain and it's cheaper than the Bowflex. Only complaint is it doesn't have a leg extention like the Bowflex you have to do it standing up which is a bit weird

                                    We have a Bowflex at work... I like it. It's probably not as effective as free weights, but it's more convenient.

                                        I've had a bowflex for a few years. Still love it. Worth every penny. Even used it at my Martial Arts school when i first bought it. It was heavily used right out of the box, works just as good now as it did then. Tip: overlap the power rods when finished working out., will keep them straight as an arrow

                                            i bought one awhile back than sold it a few months later. it was a bitch to put together and in my opinion a total waste of money. invest in some dumbells like escortbiz said and you get better results for a fraction of the price.
