weight lifting is like a religion. every time one of these threads come up, its like a competition. Each guy trying to out do the other with his version of the only way to bulk up.

i dont see how we are competing, we are giving advice and there isnt only one way to bulk up. Everyone's body is different - what may work for one person might not work for another

okay upon further investigation by searching on some reviews from health and fitness websites and reading the manual, it seems getting the bowflex is not that great of an idea.

For one, to adjust the 'machine' to move from one excercise to another takes quite a bit of time to the point that it's not practical and some of the excercises are just plain laughable.

All this would be fine if the price wasn't so expensive.

I've looked around and saw this home gym, the Northern Lights Avalanche. There's some good reviews on it. Here's the link:

I'm gonna pick this up along with some free weights.

Like I said earlier, I'm not new to weight training and I have gotten some really good results before. I don't think motivation is much of a factor as much as it was time. I had a home gym at home a few years ago, but I enjoyed going to the gym anyways because I enjoyed the people and the atmosphere. The good looking women was good motivation too.

But now it's not an option for me anymore and I need a home gym again. The more things change, the more it stays the same

If anyone else have any recommendations for home gyms like the Northern Lights Avalanche please let me know.

I'm willng to shell out $2,500 U.S. max for a home gym. I'm going to call fitness depot tomorrow and find out how much they have it for. Different places I checked are selling it for varying prices.

By the way, lots of great advice in this thread. Please keep them coming.

those northern lights ones seem better than the bowflex

nothing beats the bowflex!!
