I love how they have some skinny 150 pound guy hawking that thing. You really don't need a bowflex to have a single digit bf% while weighing 150 pounds.
When I see a top IFBB pro using it, then I may consider it.

Randy From Bowflex can help you out. He likes anadrol and hardcore bowflex workouts. He is an animal-grrrrrrrrhewlett said:
I bet you could make decent gains from it.. I have never used it so I don't know if everything is ergonomically correct or not..
But I think BB'ers make too much of a deal about varying the exercises they do..
I mean, guys feel obligated to do 5 or so different exercises for their bi's.. Now, I"m not an expert of exercise physiology or anything... But I can tell you that the bicep has one job and one job only-- elbow flexion.
It does not matter if you are using cables, barbells, dumbells, whatever.. Elbow flexion is elbow flexion...
Are there any exercise phys gurus on the boards???

I know most of this thread is a joke but I wouldn't buy a bowflex anytime soon. The company is local and has some major law suites comming. Seems the rods have a tendancy to break, sending long metal spear like objects everywhere. Couple deaths and a few more serious injuries. Shish-k-bob comes to mind.

Thats not shit. You can do 20 excercises in one, including the gym quality sliding up and down a ramp on a wheeley board holding on to two strings excercise. The same excercise Ronnie Coleman uses to work his pecs, tris, bis, quads, and calf muscles all in one movement, while still looking like a 5 year old on a see saw.

Bicep's also responsible for feeding me sometimes...When i'm at a friends house and hungry, i can always count on chewing off a chunk of bicep to keep me full till i get home for some real food, like gnawing on some good ole fashioned thigh of my grandfather.
I won't lie I own one of those bowflex's with the lat, and leg attachment. Me and my ex bought it 2 years ago. I still use it but also have a gym membership. It will never replace free weights. I does do a pretty good job for the upperbody on light days, I can get good pump from it but I still go to the gym 3-4 days a week. I have 310lbs of those rods and they seem to do ok but can't never get enough to do leg presses.
I origanlly wanted a power rack or something but it took up too much space.
Nothing replace the free weight!!

Free weights are a waste of time!

I have a cousin with a bowflex and they are very useful if you are looking to get cut up. the range of motion is limitless, but as far as trying to gain mass on it, no way....im all about dumb bells and bars.....
i wouldnt mind to have one for cutting though, it can get the blood pumping for a good cardio session.
theyre just too damn expensive
