Does anyone here have a Bowflex? Any comments about the equipment (good or bad)?
Why "Whatever You Want" Keeps You Single
She says the movie looks dumb; you suddenly agree. She tests you with a little attitude; you apologize for nothing.
You think you're being easy to get along with. She reads something else entirely: a man with no edges. Nothing to hold on to. No friction, no tension, no reason to wonder what he really thinks.
The "22 Rules" taught me to push back — playfully, calmly, without needing her approval. Strange things happened after that.

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."
Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.
Don't buy machine!

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

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.
"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."
Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.
