bowflex vs power rack

[Becoming]

from my experience, people who buy bowflex's have those sitting around collecting dust rather than a powerrack.

I would totally agree with this.... Other than the commercials, have you ever seen anyone say "I am totally in shape for using this thing"?

 

[Backlash]

And clearly those guys in the commericals didn't get that way just using Bowflex...

If you are actually gonna use it than a power rack, but it really doesn't matter if you don't use it.

I never understood the point of "casual" lifting. If you aren't serious about it than what's the point? Maybe for the heart? I dunno, your choice.

Yea but even if you care about "looks" (bodybuilding aspect of it) you have to be serious to accomplish anything.

I used to think bow flex might not be that bad(I haven't ever used one) until I helped my friend move. I picked up the bow flex threw it on my shoulder and went down two flights of stairs with it. It was bending and flexing so much I wonder how safe they really are. Also if the machine weighs less than the weight it can be used with I am very suspect. Otherwise I just wish I had a basement to put a rack in.

Just buy an adjustable bench and dumbells. Try it for 6 months AND SAVE YOUR MONEY. You may give up and never do it again. OR you may want to add the power rack later after you`ve been bitten by the bug. Either way, you don`t want the flex. jmo

bowflex is to power rack as pinky finger is to penis

 

[HodgeMN]

Hmmmmm. What if his pinky is bigger than his penis?

just staying inshape,

basically.

Thanks for the insight, i think im gonna try out the adjustable bench and dumbells first, also, what about those like huge full workout machines? price isnt really a problem, btw.
