Bowflex Extreme Review - Pro & Possible Cons

Pros

  • Exercise variety. A Bowflex home gym offers from 50 to 100+ exercises to choose from. Do you ever get tired of doing the same old workout? Exercise variety can enable to keep your workouts fun & fresh.
  • Easy to change resistance. Just hook in another power rod and get back to your workout. Keeping your workout as short and effective as possible would be a real benefit, wouldn’t it?
  • Light weight resistance. You can have up to 410Ibs. of power rod resistance without having 410Ibs. of iron plates or dumbbells in your home.
  • No momentum. Lift as fast or slowly as you like, Bowflex power rods offer a consistent amount of resistance throughout the whole range of the exercise.
  • No "spotter" needed.


Possible Cons

  • Temperature sensitive. The power rods can stiffen with colder temperatures.
  • A maximum of 410Ibs.

Free Weights - Pros & Possible Cons

Pros

  • Unlimited resistance. Need more weight? Just buy another plate .
  • Thicker/stronger physique. To handle free weights, your body must use more core muscles.


Possible Cons

  • Space needed.
  • Movability.
  • Exercise variety. With a set of dumbbells and a weight bench you can do from 30 to 40 different exercises.
  • Momentum. Lifting the weight too quickly can make the weight lighter and lessen it’s effectiveness.
  • Safety. Training too heavy with out a spotter can be dangerous.

Who Free Weights Would Work Well for:

    Experienced weight lifters, bodybuilders, people who have a large space to dedicate to a home gym

Who a Bowflex Home Gym Would Work Well for:

    People who want a combination of the maximum exercise variety and resistance - in one compact piece of equipment



Which Bowflex Home Gym Should You Get?

Bowflex has 2 versions:

    Vertical bench models: Bowflex Extreme XTLU, Bowflex Extreme 2

    Horizontal bench models: Bowflex Power Pro, Motivator, Motivator 2, Blaze, Elite, Sport, Ultimate, Ultimate 2

How are the vertical bench models (Bowflex Extreme 1 & 2) different than the horizontal bench models?

The vertical bench models (Bowflex Extreme XTLU & 2) take up less space. However, the horizontal bench models add the ability to do: leg presses, aerobic rowing, and seated leg curls.


Would you like to be able to do leg presses, aerobic rowing, and seated leg curls? The Bowflex Blaze, Bowflex Ultimate, or Bowflex Ultimate 2, would be a great investment.
