[QUOTE="spectreman, post: 15588067, member: 175436"] I've been a free weight guy for most my 40+ years of lifting life. Don't like machines much. In the end, the muscles don't know anything but the resistance they're facing. The advantages of the Bowflex, as I see it, is that your grip will rotate naturally, as opposed to the barbell, where your grip is essentially locked in one position, meaning the muscle movement can be limited. Dumbbells allow that type of movement, but not barbells. W/the Bowflex, I see a lot more stabilizer muscles involved too, a definite plus as those smaller muscle groups, once activated and strengthened, help the larger muscle groups and can help reduce risk of injury.
