Anybody own a bowflex?
 

I'm thinking of buying one and I want to hear about other webmasters' experiences with it.

And what makes you think webmasters' opinions on the bowflex is creditable?

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

15 feet?

Shit you're kidding me

hey, I left my ICQ number in another thread - 165 792 706

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.

holy shit.. i was just coming back to the board to post if anyone owned a bowflex.. guess my work was cut out for me :)

haha I'm not the only one who is stoned watching late night informercials :1orglaugh

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.

The models on the bowflex commercials...

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...ight=workou t

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

LOL

funny how many people fall for it thou

all the bodybuilders use plain old free wights, push ups, etc

man, dont even go there...I now smoke myself to sleep and hide the credit card :1orglaugh

And you left your underwear on the railing of the balcony.

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

300 lbs of Olympic weight and a Olympic bench is all i use almost 3x's a day. sure beats going to the gym

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

bowflex is crap... go to a real gym ya pussies

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.
