YO, i know you guys know a whole lot about working out, supplements, and such. I'm just wondering, Is a bowflex worth $800? I mean it guarentees results in 6 weeks ( it doesn't say what kind of results though :crackup: )

Thanks in advance
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

With any type of training you'll see results in a few weeks as long as you stay on a training schedule and not blow your gains by over eating the bad stuff. The thing that is most important is to find a training program/equipment that you enjoy. If you enjoy it, training won't feel like such a chore.

if i were you i would just get a membership to a gym. in the gym they have TONS more machines, and you only pay for it for as long as you want(for instance, my membership fees are 20 bucks a month, no contract). and i can play basketball, swim, lift, cardio, pretty much whatever. so to answer your question, no i wouldnt buy it.

some say bowflexes dont work because our muscles are designed to work with gravity based resistance, the bowflex doesnt really provide that

I remember reading a thread over at IM where inhuman said he broke a bowflex.. or something of the like. He did 12 reps with the weight maxxed at 400 and it broke.
 

"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.

Who say? That's the stupidest **** I ever heard. How do you explain the Hand Grippers to work out your forearms then?

Resistance is resistance. If your muscles are pushing against it then they are doing work.

I do have bowflex at the house however i hardly ever use it becuase I'm in football and most of my workout is done at the schools weight room. Thing is when you use a bowflex you dont need a spotter.(benching ect.) Also it is also possible to get the v-shape body its just about the determination and the sweat you put into it.

So the excercise to get the V-shaped body is part of the routine?

You could just bench with dumbbells if you don't have a spotter. Or front squat instead of back squat. Etc etc...

Like someone already posted, I hear about how people max out the weight on the things a lot and end up breaking them. Bowflex is not designed for serious lifters, IMO. If you want to lift, use freeweights-- Machines will not strenthen your ligaments along with your muscle, whereas free weights will.

I AM SETTLING THIS THREAD ONCE AND FOR ALL SINCE I AM THE MASTER HERE.

BOWFLEX:

1. BOWFLEX WILL NOT MAKE YOU BIGGER.

2. BOWFLEX WILL TONE YOU.

3. BOWFLEX WILL GIVE YOU SMALL STRENGTH GAINS.

REGULAR GYM:

1. GYM WILL MAKE YOU BIGGER.

2. GYM WILL TONE YOU BUT ON A LESSER SCALE THAN BOWFLEX.

3. GYM WILL GIVE YOU BIG STRENGTH GAINS.

BOWFLEX TV COMMERCIALS:

1. ALL OF THE ATHLETES FILMED IN THE COMMERCIAL DID NOT USE BOWFLEX AS THEIR PRIMARY GYM EQUIPMENT

GENDER-WISE:

1. BOWFLEX IS GREAT FOR WOMEN.

2. BOWFLEX IS NOT GREAT FOR MEN.

The boflex is a good idea. In theory.

Its not as useful as gym weights though. You probly could get in great shape with it though (depends on how high the weight setting goes).

But barbells, dumbells, and cable machines (my favourite) are superior to the bowflex.

Its not meant to be a replacement for the gym. Its just one of those things that you use once in a while.

And besides have you seen the HBs in some of the gyms? Whoooweee!!! :woo: :woo: :woo:

Why the hell would you want a BOWFLEX? Get your ass in a gym. You get a great workout and after you chill and look at all the sexy ladies. And maybe if you got your game together, you can do more than look.
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.
