what do you mean by functional?

machines work just fine,  I've never used bowflex but machines in general are fine.

Machines are non-functional because they target only one area, dumbells are mostly functional because it uses multiple bodyparts!

what's wrong with targeting one area?

[Mr. Intenseone]

Not a thing if you are bodybuilding......but in the last 10 or so years I have learned to combine functional training with bodybuilding using unconventional training methods, for example my leg routien is very unconventional compared to traditional bodybuilding methods!

there was this guy at my old gym "USA gym" that use to leg press a shit load of weight, then take a 100lb plate, and run up and down about 15 stairs or so.....the guy had the sickest wheels!

Alot of the leg programs that either I do, my Athletes or regular clients do target power, funtional strength and conditioning and with the type of programs that I design my athletes rarely have injuries and usually their conditioning is off the charts!

Bowflex? 

Nah. Nah.

Soloflex.



Now that's the machine.

Man !!!! You're taking me back..../Way back!  I remember ..the first time ..I ever did any resistance training ..was on the soloflex!!  I loved it..gave me a good base...

 I was only 14 yrs. old!  I'm an old fart

[Deadpool]

I work out but I don't bodybuild or weight train.

[Spike]

got one in the garage that just sits their

the girl I live with toolass boyfriend made her buy him one - used it like 4 times himself then she got stuck with it when they split
damn things cost like $2g new - but the dog uses it as a pissing stand now when he's locked up in the garage

I was going to sell it and say that is how I got to 270lbs when some redneck shows up to buy it

[pumpster]

I'm gonna have to try one.

[Adam Empire]

Actually Soloflex was out way before Bowflex, had way more attachments too.

Yeah, it was the first to suck.

[The Squadfather]

I'm gonna have to try one.

agreed, too many "guys" get into this meathead mentality of free weights being the be all end all of training, try everything.

Nothing beats my workout machine when I can't make it to the gym.  Available at my website and cost 1/3 the price but can use more weight and do more exercises. 


Total Trainer Rules!!!
