BowFlex/SpiralFlex

[ROID]

Opinions ?

I played around with one the other day. Hard to do smooth repetitions, kinda shaky with that type of resistance but that could be a good thing. I'll doubt I give up free weights anytime soon but it would be nice to get a quick workout in at home from time to time.

Way to expensive. Find a friend that got suckered into buying one, and use his!

That's the deal. My buddy bought one new 5 or 6 years ago and has only used it a few times. He hasn't even put all the attachments on it. btw, How much do they cost ?

Money is no object.I'm just waiting on my Obama stimulus check. I am going to get a stimulus check ?

The last time I checked, I believe it was a couple of grand?

You'd be better off with a set of DB's and a bench!

it was just an idea. Thanks for busting my bubble.

I prefer walking around the gym commando with a semi-chubber anyway. It impresses the women, especially when i'm running on the tread mill.

find a good local place that sells equipment and buy a piece when you can. eg my lat machine is pretty decent and was only $300. it will add up to a nice gym faster than you think.

i have a bowflex sport that i bought back in 2005. i joined retro fitness gym in 2008. i still use my flex every now and then, esp on cold days like today when i dont wanna go outside. i got it for $600 i think with a 25% off cuz a family friend worked at sports authority lol. i would want to sell it now and replace it with a bench and squat rack and real weights tho
