About the only thing I like about these type of systems is the elimination of a spotter requirement, when training to muscle failure. Other than that, free weights seem to rule the roost.
This is just one weakling thinking out loud, though.

I just got done using mine. I like it. very expensive though. Way more expensive than a Weider set up or something, isnt it?

it definitely is more expensive, but SubnetMask pointed out not needing a spotter which is a good point. Also I think it's probably easier to move around too? |

Free weights are the way to go. Get a bench, a bar and some plates. Probably less than half the cost.

There has been some other threads related to this but in the end don't waste your money on a bow flex. The major problem is that they don't have a consistant weight resistance through your range of motion. There a good home gyms out for the same money.
How many college/pro teams do you hear using or endorsing a "bow flux". They use free weights or quality machines because they work. |

I remember lying on the bench trying not to suffocate underneath 200 lbs for about 45 minutes a few years ago...

I like mine but the only problem is you start out at only about 80% of the listed weight. As the bows curl more they reach 100%. I dont use mine as much as I use to. I do more body weight exercise now and use the bow flex every now and then. By the way I have the Ultimate.
