I think that if you just have to buy one unit for home use then go for it. i know two guys that keep fit. not large, body builders but fit guys.

hell i know a guy that just uses cement cender blocks as weights and the guy has a nice body. hes cut, so anything is possible.

If you want to really max your results, join a gym and buy arnolds book everything you will need is in there. well besides the kick ass members of this board.

IMO

i think the average person's adherance rate to exercise drops off significantly when their only sourceof training is in home.JMO

I will not compare it to any gym, but for a home exercise unit I will say it's the best on the market. I've used it before at a friends house and you actually can get a descent workout on one. Will I give up my gym membership and go out and buy one.....no, but for those that refuse to join a gym I'd recommend the bowflex to 'em.

For the casual lifter that doesn't have much spare time, it's great. I'd recommend it for sure.

Bowflex was great when i was young and in the basement fucking around. If ya are a guy just looking to dabble and stay fit. Go for it. I didnt like it. Way to ackward, not natural for me. But hey, i love watching the fucking comercials. Funny ass shit. For the money though, get a nice bench and 300lb set. Better than the bowflex imo.

Don't waste your time with a bowflex. For that matter, don't waste your time with any home gym equipment unless you are a millionaire or have no access to a gym...like maybe you live at the South Pole or something. Trust me. I have spent several thousand dollars over the years aquiring equipment. I have benches, squat rack, various bars, dumbells 15-100lbs, combo lat pull down, seated row, leg machine, expensive electro-magnetic resistence cardio equip., 500lbs in free weights, etc. Hell, I even have a $1000 rubber floor in my basement. I have found that no matter how much equipment that I buy, I can never get the kind of work-out that I get at a decent gym. There is just too much neccessary equipment.
