The people in the Bowflex commercials sure are pretty.<\/p>\n
If you have any doubt that these models did not get their muscularly sculpted hairless physiques using a Bowflex and its patented Power Something Technology, then Google “Bowflex casting” and you’ll find talent agencies looking for ultra-lean gym rats with colored contact lenses to hock this soon-to-be coat rack for three easy payments of way too much money.<\/p>\n
…Using Bowflex’s patented “Power Rod\u00ae Technology” is like trying to lift weights while having an epileptic seizure and simultaneously shooting meth into your eyeballs. Besides having a history of being unsafe and with its parent corporation (Nautilus Inc.) being fined by the Consumer Product Safety Commission, many bodybuilding discussion boards contain complaints about the machine’s limiting and unnatural feeling.<\/p>\n
As a guy with 17 years’ experience with free weights, I decided to give the Bowflex a try myself and instantly hated it. So I kept trying for another 15 minutes to see if it grew on me, and the only thing that grew was a desire to douse the machine in napalm and hurl it into an active volcano.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
LOL!<\/p>\n
But seriously – there is nada you can do with a Bowflex that you can’t do (and do better!)\u00a0in a well-equipped gym… and there are tons of things you can do in a well-equipped gym that you cannot do with a Bowflex. While not specifically a gimmick, “all-in-one” pieces of equipment like the\u00a0Bowflex are inherently limiting, not to mention boring as hell. If you’ve got the money to spend on a Bowflex, then you’ve got the money to spend on some real fitness equipment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
