If I was into bulking up I couldn't agree more. Been there, done that in my 20's. I peaked at a 3 1/2 plate press, and could preacher curl 160. And inwas at it for about 7 years 4 days a week, until I just couldn't find the motivation anymore. With some of the joint issues I am having now from the 3 plate, poop yourself, bench press days, I need to keep it more civilized. Now I am looking more to trim up, gain core strength and lose weight. I am 6'2 230, I want to get to around 200-205. The gym is just too out of the way for me, my job is pretty demanding, and I live on the top floor of a wood frame condo building, so free weights aren't an option anyway. I also like the idea of climbing out of bed, and working out in my ginch.
As to the Bowflex going under thing, I can't find anything online, and I called both bowflex and non bowflex dealers today to verify, and nobody has heard anything even close to that. Either way, it's the same price as most knockoffs, and one store i called said at that price, if you don't like it, he'd take it off my hands for 500 bucks.
