Does anyone here have a Bowflex? Any comments about the equipment (good or bad)?
"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"
When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.
Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.
Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.
The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

"She's Out of Your League"
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.
Don't buy machine!

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.
"I just moved here from Florida."
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.
