BowFlex Revolution FIRST WORKOUT...INITIAL THOUGHTS

[@loupatrick9224]

I have been enjoying your videos on the Revolution. As you have said, there are not a lot of KZbin videos about it, other than a few very old ones. I have owned 2 Bowflex power rod machines, actually enjoyed them. However, the Ultimate II, which I have, has started breaking down and parts are not available since the model is not being made (hasn't been for several years). I am interested in the Revolution because its reputation has been that it provides continuous, even resistance from the first push. The Power Rod systems develop their resistance as you push through the movement and I'd really prefer the continuous feel. In addition, the Revolution's leg press seems extremely good. I agree with you in regard to the fact that you have to reach back quite a bit to get the hand grips sometimes. I have short arms and using the Ultimate II it is a challenge to get both arms in position to do, for example, a chest press. In a few exercises, it'd be best to have someone simply hand me the grips. Please continue with the videos, including any dislikes you encounter. A few people have commented on the internet over the years about some of the spiraflex plates breaking down and needing to be replaced. Finally, Bowflex declared bankruptcy and was recently sold. Hopefully that means a renewed interest in marketing this product and that the new owners will make replacement parts available.

Looking forward to your upcoming content. Thinking about getting the same unit. I currently have a Total Gym Fit, but missing some of the higher weight opportunities.
