Bowflex Squat AttachmentI am interested in the Bowflex squat attachment. Will 310 or 410 lbs. be enough. How would it compare to the weight that you use on the leg press? Any comments would be appreciated.

The squat attachment is the best of the three bowflex attachments, in my opinion. Not only is it great for squats, but its also great for doing barbell type exercises like, flat bench, military press, bent over rows, dead lifts, tricep extensions etc. As far as resistance is concerned, squats are totally different than leg presses. I know I could easily push more than 400 lbs on the leg press, but with squats Im topping out at around 240. Squatting more than 300 lbs is serious weight. This also was the case when I was training in the gym. My best squat was at around 225, however on the leg press I was pushing more than 600 lbs.

Join a gym. If you cant, buy a squat rack and weight set for your home.

Well golly gee, if thats your expert opinion then mine is going in the garbage first thing tommorow. I guess the 20+ lbs of fat Ive dropped and the 6 lbs of muscle Ive put on using this machine in the last 3 months are a waste too. "Ever notice how know-it-alls usually dont?"

If you have made such progress, congrats. BUT In reality there should have been a lot more progress made. Look at your diet more so than your exercise schedule.

Hey Don, I think you should put 'Bowflex sucks' under your picture. That way you don't have to respond to the numerous Bowflex postings that come up.

What professional or acreditation credentials do you possess? From reading some of your responses, it appears your just another huckster attempting to sell his product.
