i had the original bowflex with the power rods which they sucked it was poor design but they've come a long way since then so i cant really speak for the newer ones. and yes im trying to take advantage of it and live it to its fullest while i can. and benching my max as of about a month ago was 205, im 17 and weigh 155. and a hour in the gym is the most you should really be there anyway. muscle is built at rest and during sleep so just go in there, tear the fibers as fast as you can go home eat some protein and just take it easy for the rest of the night and get a good nights sleep
