I had a buddy who ran an ad in the paper once "Bowflex $100, Call Chubby 555-1212" and gave our friends phone number.

Hilarity ensued.

Good price. I think mine was around $650 but that included shipping. I think. It's been awhile since I got it though.

I think it's really good equipment for the older folks since it doesn't have free weights. It feels less risky for injury.

I'm not a big fan of the Bowflex. I had one for 3 years and wore it out because I used it 2 hours at a time for three hours a day.

I keep telling myself I will use it for a month or two then it will collect dust. But I really need something around the home because I hate going to the gym and my powerblock dumbbells aren't anywhere near heavy enough anymore.

Do they have a workout to strengthen your sarcasm detector?

I knew what you were going for Saul. Sarcasm meter is just fine thank you. :)

I'm just torn on this one. Been wanting to get one but I keep passing on it.

I've never known anyone to have one and use it after the initial novelty wore off.

Spend your money on some free weights and a smith machine.

I got my third elliptical in 2 years. I keep breaking them. But that's cuz I buy the cheap shit ones for 50 bucks on Craigslist.

I just bought a Schwinn 420. pretty sturdy. If I had more room I'd be interested in a Bowflex, but for now, at least I'm doing the cardio. If I ever do decide to get one, I'd get one used on craiglist. They are going for nothing because most people hang clothes on them.

Thats just it. I used to have free weights but nowhere to put them. They were always in the way. Plus the need to have a spotter. I got rid of all of them and just went to dumbbells and a small bench but my powerblock isn't big enough now.

I haven't found a single bowflex xtreme for $500 yet in my area. cheapest used one I have come across is $700.

Just get a shake weight and call it good. Those guys bodies on the commercials look exactly like the ones in the bow flex commercials. So it must work

Approx. three times your body weight. So I've heard.

I don't want to be so strong in the arms that I can't masterbate without the fear of ripping my junk from my body. Completely unacceptable.
