1. Did you ignore grampstrr?  I’m not sure that has been made clear.
2. Have you considered dumbbells?

Interesting thread, I've learned quite a lot.

I've got a related, but different, muscle building question.  I'll start a new thread...

Be prepared for LOTS of recommendations about bench pressing puppies and anal bleaching.

I owned the exact unit The Irwin describes.  I gave my observations about it.  Apparently he ignored it.

Actually, you never said that. You said you owned a Bowflex. Lots of different models of Bowflexes, and how you do the same exercise apparently can vary significantly between machines depending on the design.

Once you buy a machine for home or buy a membership to use someone else's machines, the machine has served its purpose.

Trust me. I didnt ignore it. It is making me think a lot more than some of the random 'lift sacks of kittens' comments from the other ass hats...

Huh, I was going to mention 'sacks of puppies,' but I guess 'sacks of kittens' would work just as well if you packed them in tight enough...

Actually, you are right sir.  Please accept my regretful acknowledgment of an offense or failure.

The problem with The Irwin at times is he asks for advice and he gets it and ignores it. :old: :rofl: :rofl: [popcorn]

If you want to unload that thing, I know some sap guy who might be interested.
