For years I have seen the bow flex machine advertised on tv. Does it really work or is it one of those infomercial things that never really work?

I use to own one, many years ago. It was hmm how do I put this. It was a good machine to start on to get u some sort of a routine. A steping stool to weight lifting. I enjoyed my when I got it. It was a good quick workout. It did help but keep in mind it will never NEVER do what free weights do. Once I jumped over to free weights I have never looked back.
Its a good machine for the 1st timer, the FAT, the LAZY, and women....

Of course it works .. anything works just depends how much you put into it .. not something i would buy because i like when my body moves freely and not having to be confined to a possition when training on a machine ... Is it as good as freeweights? No but weighted pushups, pullups and dips are better than free weights and alot of people don't use those .. I use to have a gravity egde machine and i grew a little from using it .. That was also when Phosphagen came out so that also had alot to do with my size gains .. Bow flex is very expensive if wanting to get all the hookups .. You can set up a cheaper gym with some dumbells and one of those low profile power racks.. I always wanted one but i kind of like getting out of the house every now and then for the gym.. which is why i joined again

I just meant that you will never get a 400 lb bench on a bowflex.

Nah maybe 380 but not 400role model said:
... Yeah for some reason rubber bands just can't do what iron can . I like the idea of that rubber band you can use for adding weight to pushups. that looks pretty cool but don't really know how much weight those would add .. I joined the gym thursday and planes to go yesterday morning but i didn't make it .. then this morning but friend got in town late so i stayed up with son and let wife sleep for a bit this morning. I will most likely go tomorrow morning but if not start mon and i will be going like i use to at 6am before work .. I go to work later now so i have more time in gym so i can now get over 30min .. 30min is good but my friend will be there and i know i will be distracted talking to him .. we don't get to talk much at all anymore because i get home later and i am just not happy with him being so unreliable lately ... I've been on this Test E i made for about 4 weeks now and i am growing even without workouts .. I can feel the extra pumps just walking the office all day .. I can start to see the veins also coming out quite a bit now .. the past week is when it really started to show .. I can't wait to get back to workouts. I actually feel the sexdrive the 1st week on but no gains until 3-4 weeks .. when working out i do start to see better pumps that last longer and come on just by picking up a pen from week 3 on ..

WOAH! You can do a lot of dumb shit to your own body, but don't you EVER give shitty training advice on my board! Wanna take 4X the amount of AS that people 100lbs heavier than you use? Fine. But, seriously, don't you fucking ever tell people something that stupid again.

The truth about the bow flex is this :the guy's and gals you see on the comercials did not develope their bods with soloflex..they did it in the gym and by extreme diet and cardio.And the bs they show on the commercial about 3 work outs per week for 20 minutes sessions is a load of crap.I aint buying it ! dennis

Better yet, aren't Bowflex machines crazy expensive. I mean, I outfitted my garage gym with all I'll ever need for the rest of my life, with about $500. And not all of that was used equipment. If you want a home gym, find a nice used power cage, quality bar and weights, and portable adjustable bench. There are some other components to add to this, but the preceding will get you started.
If you need any help with that, I'd be glad to offer some.
