Bowflex review

While I do enjoy my bowflex overall the rods have seemed to diminish greatly over the years that it was used. I'm its second owner and it seems one set of 50lb rods on it have different resistances, giving me an uneven workout if I use them.
This problem could be easily solved though, I can get a set of replacement rods for pretty cheap.
If people claim they can bench all of the rods on the machine (310lbs) and they never really workout or anything. They are lying...haha. My moms boyfriend stands by this claim when I know for a fact I can bench at least 50lbs more than him. And I don't come close to using all the rods. Anyways, even with my machine being several years old I find the rods still give a pretty accurate measurement of weight for the most part.
Bought mine used for super cheap.... and I've been extremely happy with it. :)
