| | | I have the crossbow or more accurately the weider max 400. I have had it for about one year. The price was around $300. It came with 240 lbs of resistance which I have upgraded to 340 lbs( I paid an extra $45 for the 100 lb bar on ebay). For most of my life I used free weights and liked them. I have also used machines from universal to nautalus. After my daughter was born 5 years ago getting to a gym was difficult. So I set up a weight bench at home. I had it all except the ability to effectivly do heavy weights and negatives safely. So I looked into the bowflex and crossbow. I found them basically similar,( note I did not say exactly the same) but for me the cost was the reason I went with the crossbow. I love it. I can do a total body workout head to toe in a relative short time. I like the ease of transition between excercises and resistance.In my routine I typically do two excercises back to back ( ex. bench and then seat row, curls and upright row etc.) The crossbow is great for this. There are limitations but no system is perfect. My only issue so far has been the fact that 340 lbs is not enough for me to leg press so I just started using one leg at a time. I really like this debate. Thanks |

| | Here's a good unbiased review of the BF Ultimate: http://www.exercisecertification.com...ts/bowflex.pdf
For those who own one of these cable type machines, there are a lot of good ideas here.
