Question: Bowflex or free weights, which is better? Any bowflex users out there?


Question Description:
I am intrigued by the bowflex but I don't know if it is worth all of the money, plus I have heard that there have been a few incidents where people have been injured when the bow breaks. I wish you could try before you buy.Serious answers only please.

Answer#1: I used the crossbow, which is very similiar to the bowflex...I tried the bowflex and it's more or less the same thing, i liked the crossbow a little better because you can change the resistance quicker and go to different exercises faster if you want to do a bunch of reps and go to each exercise without a break (can't think of the type of workout that is off for some reason at the moment)...ANYWAYS...as far as quality goes, i think the bowflex is top notch, you can't go wrong and it's definitely a good workout...free weights will give you more of bulky muscles, bowflex will give you more lean muscle....i don't know where you're from, but there is a place called Dicks Sporting goods that has a bowflex on display where you can try it...i think it would be worth your investment to get a bowflex
