WTB Bowflex revolution

[Sh1nn3r]

You wont get the same work out with the box flex compared to free weights. Free weights you are hitting multiple muscle fibers at one time.

Free weights such as dumbbells and medicine balls are better training for body building. You can create much more specificity of training by using free weight than with machines. Machines build muscles that you use mainly in the gym.
With free weights is that you will develop better balance. Machines require no balance at all - you sit down, strap yourself in and push. Balance training is an essential part of lifting.

Machines do have a place in rehab and training, when movement speed, direction and control is desired. Machines are also useful for novice exercisers who may need a very structured program of movement to build some very basic strength.

Just hit the free weights bro.
