Where did he say Bowflex could be used to build a good physique for a natural? Does he use it himself?

Does Bob Chick use it?  :-\

Typical Pumpster reply:

IDIOTS, LOL.

Bob Chick and gh15 know everything and they clearly stated bowflex can be used as a substitute for free weights.

U R an idiot and BB wannabe. I'll take Coleman's insights over your dumbass any day haahahahaahahahah

Debunking the Barbell Curl


I never advocate the use of the exercises cited as the kind of mass building for the biceps: the barbell curl. Like everybody else, when I started bodybuilding, I waned bigger biceps, even tough I am blessed with good arm genetics. I though the route to follow was doing barbell curls, but my early experiences with that exercise taught me that although barbell curls allowed me to use heavy weights, the muscular stress caused by the poundage was in no way being applied 100% to my biceps. I believe that the heavy weights employed for barbell curls encourage the user to cheat through the exercise, perhaps without even knowing it. A person tends to bend the upper torso to let the momentum of the weight take over. In addition, instead of the biceps powering out the reps, forearms and front delts are called into play too much. You must analyze what kind of development you are aiming for with your biceps training. You should seek full development in terms of thickness and fullness of your biceps muscle attachments, plus optimum accentuation of the biceps peaks.

Those aspects are best achieved by exercises that isolate the biceps - ones that allow you to put maximum stress on your biceps throughout the completion of each set. Cheating on barbell curls means that at certain times during the course of a rep, the biceps are given an easy, if not free, ride. Based on the preceding thought, I came to the conclusion that cable work provided the required dual facilities of isolating the biceps while allowing them to be under constant stress throughout the completion of each set. The latter element is particularly difficult to attain during the negative (descending) part of each rep. This is where cables score heavily. With cables, you can maintain muscular stress during the negative phase to an extent that is not mechanically possible with free weights.

Many authorities claim that cables are solely for advanced bodybuilders, in order 'to refine what they've already built.' I don't agree. Cable work allows you to attack the biceps with 100% concentration, and that sort of exclusive application will make the biceps grow. Muscle fibers don't know whether the stress is being applied by free weights or a machine; they respond only to the level of muscular stress being placed on them. Whatever does the job, will do the job!

Pumpster, even you can't be dumb enough to think Ronnie Coleman wrote that. The guy can barely speak in sentences yet he wrote that. ::)

ghost writers write the articles, they don't usually change the gist of what is said.

That is about as dumb a statement as you have ever made. The pro's who get a byline for these articles have NO INPUT at all.

That's right.  Its all about resistance folks.  Training on a Bowflex or any other home exercise equipment doesn't make you gay.  Its just good to have when you don't have time to hit the gym

Considering that bmacsys has no physique and spends lots of time obsessing over guys who do, it's pretty safe to assume he knows very little about what goes on or doesn't in BB.

The only sure thing is that he spends a lot of free time thinking about this instead of lifting LOL
