 Ok, but disppointed in the upgrade options September 9, 2008

This is a nice unit, full of exercises that really do help. I've owned it a few weeks and worked out on it religiously and I can really start to see great changes in my body.
The bad news: The 210 pounds of weight resistance it provides was quickly outgrown, and I didn't know this was the ONLY model Bowflex makes that is NOT upgradable. Oh, I bought two sets of extension rods, only to find out you can't put them anyone without making "modifications" to the machine. I added on two of the rods bringing it to 310 pounds total (which is good because my bench press is already 270 - a month ago I couldn't bench press my keyboard), but I see I will outgrow this system in less than a year.
For light workouts this is probably a great system, but if you're interested in continuing to build muscle mass and strength as far as you can, this is one to steer clear from, simply because you can't upgrade it easily (and not at all, unless you're probably voiding the warranty).

The best home workout gym of it's kind. I have owned a bowflex since 1999. I have been without a doubt convinced that with proper diet and exercise with bowflex you can form and shape the body you always wanted. I am a Marine of 16 years, and I have been convincing Marines since then in bowflex. Keep up the good work.
 Great product! July 27, 2008

The Bowflex showed up days before the free super saver shipping said it would and was pretty ease to assemble. I did it alone and it took less than 2 hours.
 expensive butterfly machine? July 27, 2008

Update to the review below:
i didn't want to go through the trouble of selling my old bowflex for a 310 lb. upgrade. so, i used a dremel to cut of the metal that prevents using the upgrade bars. i went to academy and home depot to look at the cables and pulleys. the cables seem to be the same diameter. i can only guess that the leg extension is not strong enough for the upgrade because there is only one cable. although the cable seems to be rated for a 340 lb. load.
Original Review:
i noticed that most of the exercises can be done using a dumbbell and chin up bar. only, the bench press and butterfly machine are particular to this machine. the 210 lbs. bench press feels like 120 lbs. i can even do lunges with my dumbbell to simulate the leg extension. basically, this machine is an expensive butterfly machine. because i'm not getting any more bench resistance than doing push ups on the floor.
maybe, this is a trick way for bowflex fans to buy the machine twice to increase resistance. other than that i like the machine. if i could use my free weights i would. but my mother has used the bar bell for a clothe hanger. also the resistance feels progressive, not sure if that's a good thing.
i'm considering using the hack saw to cut of the metal piece preventing the rod upgrades from going in. i don't want to go through the process of selling or returning my machine. i bought the lesser priced one because i thought it would save footprint area. now, i'm kicking myself. but it is a bowflex. maybe, i should just try doing alot of push ups. my air force friend has a built up body from just doing 75 push ups a day.
