I've gotten mixed reviews from them. Pple like it b/c you'll basically never grow outta it b/c 200lbs free weights is a lot easier than 200 lb "power rod" resistance. It's really challenging from what i hear.

Now on to the cons. Someone with vast knowledge in weight training says that Bow Flex is the worst b/c u r not lifting the weight directly where your targettign your muscles. The rods are being bent therefore u are not actually pushing the weight forward (bench press).
