“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

Does anyone here have a Bowflex? Any comments about the equipment (good or bad)?

Don't tell me you saw the Bowflex commercial with the soldiers and said, "Wow! The military uses Bowflex! I have to get that!"

Hell, DIESEL, you said yourself that you didn't like the bowflex.

Aparently it is difficult to do deadlifts, squats, lateral raises, and pec flies on the bowflex. Otherwise, I like the premise.

I'm moving in to a new apartment and just thought the benefit in mobility of machines like Bowflex. I have a power rack (I think that's what it is called) that I think is very useful since it eliminates a spotter while doing bench presses and more importantly squats. But it seems that it will consume too much space especially with the olympic bar on.

I guess it really comes down to is what your fitness goals are. i.e. you want to get big compared to just being toned and/or feeling generally good. Nothing beats free weights if a person wants to get big. My main focus right now is to continue to do exercises especially during the lazy winter season.

How about the one Chuck Norris endorses?

Obviously the Bowflex sucks.. but the point is to show Killer up, as yet another johnny come lately who clogs up training threads with garbage.

Actually some machines are good, I particularly like the Hammer Strength machines for rows, and pullovers, and of course I'm assuming that any kind of cable movement is also considered a machine movement.

What I'm opposed to is a workout totally based on machines. The basics should be done with freeweights, and the machines should only complement that.

I don't count cable machines as actual machines, because your motion isn't restricted. Cable machines are great.

If your shy of the gym environment, i'd say try the total gym - endorsed by chuck norris. The boxflex is incredibly overpriced and i doubt its better than the total gym which is much cheaper. Search google for reviews.

Who cares if it's endorsed by Chuck Norris? They pay him a big fat fee to print his name on the product and hire him to do commercials. And that makes the equipment good?

Have you seen his movies? Terrible...
