I've wondered.. does the bowflex just give show muscles or does it actually give you something you can do something with?

I have a friend who used it for physical therapy when he had arthoscopic on his knee. I don't think I've ever seen anyone use it to seriously build anything. I use body weight exercises myself, don't even need to waste money on free weights.

It's proven that the resistance you get in the flexion and extension from the arms of the bowflex (or similar machines) is more beneficial than free-weights for building muscle tone, but not muscle mass.

If you wanna get bigger, use free-weights. If you wanna get in shape/cut some fat and turn it into muscle, use the bowflex.

The whole muscle toning thing through tons of reps crap is a sham.

You want to get cut? stop eating twinkies.

Go heavy or go home. Build the muscle fast and keep the weight off...you will be ripped.

The best way to get cut up is to build a solid mucle base underneath your fat ass and starve/cardio it off.

A couple of my friends did wrestling in high school, and they would get ripped as hell when they were cutting weight.

Every time I see a bowflex commercial and they tell you that you can get ripped by working out, it makes me lol.
