Question: Bowflex for gaining muscle mass?


Question Description:
I am currently on a weight/muscle gaining program and was wondering what you guy's think about the Bowflex? I am trying to gain 40 pounds of muscle and was wondering if the Bowflex would be the way to go, or if a set of free weights would be a better choice. I know going to the gym would be the best option, but I have no time to do so.40 pounds, but over a 2 year period. I want to gain 2 pounds of muscle per month.

Answer#1: Bowflex definitly won't do the job, this coming from a guy who works out 5 to 6 days a week for 8 years now. free weights all the way and hard core lifting. Go with dumbells and a bench that go's from incline to decline. But your going to have to still make it to the gym twice a week for legs and special muscles.


Answer#2: 40 pounds, are you crazy? And hell no, Bowflex just can't match up to a good gym.
