Getting my Bowflex within the next hour, but out of nowhere someone said it can't yield muscle mass. Is this true?
>Bowflexfail already
>>406371Why's that?
A friend of mine says there is only tension halfway into the pull due to the way the cable system is made.Free weights are the only way to go bro.
what a great waste of money
>>406390correct, sir.they have horrible weight consistency throughout the pull. I mean, if you wanna just lift for fitness go ahead but dont expect to get much of a results in terms of size and strength.
Thanks for the responses, even if they are to my dismay :( S> for half the price
The guy using the bowflex during the commercial... Is on roids and never uses the bowflex irl.
>>406415Not necessarily, if any of the models used roids they wouldn't have those abs.I'm sure they're all on heavily disciplined diets where they don't use the Bowflex at all and use real weights. Or the abs are painted on.
>>406431wtf makes you think that doing roids = no abs? This is a stupid fucking idea.or maybe you're assuming that cuz they do roids they would be SUPER HYOOGE LIKE THE HULK!fact: steroids don't turn you into the hulk. It's possible they are on steroids. Steroids do not make your muscles blow up, they make it "easier" to gain muscle. I put easier in quotes because you still have to work your ass off, it just makes you see more gains in a shorter amount of time.
The entire point of machines is to make work easier for humans.Why would you use them if the point is to get more work.
>>406438This is one of the more insightful things I've read on 4chan.
>>406431"Not necessarily, if any of the models used roids they wouldn't have those abs."You are clearly misinformed sir. I know two male models and both of them juice, and have much nicer abs than me, a non-juicer.

>>406438This quote needs to be painted on the walls of gyms across the country.

>>406438are you god
>>406438it's not suppose to make work easier, you fucking idiot.Try doing all 20 machines a circuit and see how easy it is. why all 20? because that's what you're suppose to do, and what they were designed for.
>>406678what the fuck are you even talking about
>>406678We either have a brilliant troll or a utterly retarded faggot.
>>406678all 20? , oh noes but i suppose any form of cardio seems hard
>>406678This will make you exceptional at working the machines.Now move some actual fucking weight.
lol. Just lol.
