Anyone here (strictly) use a Bowflex ?

I have a good buddy who has used nothing but a Bowflex, for all of his resistance training, since he has been working out again, for the last 3 years, and the guy looks freaking phenomenal !

So much so, that I am going to be getting my Bowflex in 2 days. I'm stoked :)

Just wondering how unique my buddies story is. Because I have to say, even on the Bowflex site, I have not seen any of those guys as ripped as my 49 year old buddy.... nor with as impressive of before and after shots.

Oh, and he's all natural too. He knows he could be bigger / bulkier with enhancers but he is more interested in overall health.

Oh, and his wife looks as phenomenal as he does.... albeit a lot cuter ;) ....and not bulky at all. Just great shape and definition.

Bowflex anyone ?

Just curious,
Fish
 
Nice spam. That guy is as natural as Ben Johnson in a Rocky IV pharmarcy.
 
I'm not going to get into a big back-and-forth with you....

But I'm curious why you would say that ?

He is very vascular, but I've certainly seen a lot of bulkier guys..... in fact, him, 25 years ago.
Personally speaking, if I were in the shape he is right now, I'd loosen up on the next to zero fat diet, and bump up the calories and carbs just a touch.

Ya' know, I guess that's the downside of getting really big / ripped nowadays. The first thing people will say, "You must have used chemicals..... because I never got that big".

It's like, I'm also into photography, but nowadays, whenever I take a really cool shot, it seems like, somebody always has to ask, "Is that real, or Photoshopped" ?

Or, because I've caught 89 Largemouth's over 10 lbs, while some pros are still trying to catch their first one, I must have cheated somehow.... nets, traps, snagging, etc.

I guess if I can ever get so big, that people accuse me of using chemicals, it will prove I've suceeded.

Peace,
Fish

PS, Muscle photos remind me a lot of trophy sportfish photos. Your only going to show the one(s) that make you (or your trophy catch) look hugest. Unpumped, and with a shirt on, this guy definately looks fit, but not really huge. His arms are 18 inches. Big, but naturally impossible ?
I remember way back, a young guy I went to high school with was doing a ton of roids, and he looked totally freakish ! He always looked stiff, like he could barely turn his head ! Made my buddy look like a little guy.
 
bowflex sucks unless you're old or out of shape..Ive had one for 3 years and grew out of it in the first 4 months. You can burn a few calories, but it works better as a clothes hanger-i swear. Trying to sell mine on craig's list but no one wants the darn thing.
 
I would disagree. Now does it replace a gym-no. I have a bowflex elite with 410lb of resistance. Just upgraded to 510 with a extender which I bought off ebay and larger hooks. I work out at Golds Gym some days and some days the bowflex. I plan on buying a powertec next July when my membership runs out. I really enjoy working out in the privacy of my home. I will say you need much more powerods for a decent leg workout.

Actually I just bought the 610lb extender. I also have resistance bands. These for my leg workouts.
