as long as you are exerting enough energy to stimulte growth in your muscles, bowflex is fine. it's just like using machines instead of free weights. just not as fun as free weights, but you can still get 80-90% of the benefits you would with free weights as long as you're busting your ass.

youl know when your about to fail.

that rep where you sort of pause in the middle na dhave to press with all ur might to get it up to lockout is your last nonspotted rep.

all you REALLy shoould if even- is asking for a spot when ur trying to make PR's on like 1 or 2 rep maxes and pushing after that last slow rep. and save that for the end of ur last set for the exersise, JOIN A JIM

thanks for the advice. i'm going to stick with the machine. i have gym membership at 24 hour fitness and i plan to go there for squats. other than squats and calf exercises i haven't reached the 210 lbs limit. bowflex is better than other machines where you still have free range of motion. i'll update when i have more considerable gains.

ROM isnt even the problem.You are not going to get the same growth response.
