    Bowflex

    I train with the bowflex revolution I have a question that I can't find the answer to. Is there anyway to convert resistance weight to actual weight. If I am benching 120 pounds of resistance, what would be the actual weight? There might not be anyway to find out. But somebody may know. Thanks

    why would it matter?

    don't worry about being able to impress your friends by being able to lift X pounds...
    ...instead, just listen to your body and go from there.

    Your muscles don't care about numbers. Nor are the numbers even important for growth.
    Muscles respond to stress. Are you lifting to grow your muscles or your ego?

    If I'm not mistaken as the rod of the bowflex bends the resistance increases. It would be difficult to say how much "weight" is being lifted because it's variable. It would be different at various points of the ROM.
