| after my brothers rotator cuff surgery, the doctors recommened a total gym. This was more for physical thearapy then anything else, but it worked well for him. I've used on several occations for cutting/endurance type training and it actually works well. you just have to know what your getting, it isnt something your gonna pack on tons of mass from, but it will help with range of motion, strength, endurance ect. |

Gender: | Bowflex is way overpriced and IMO not effective. To help with your ROM until you can get back to free weights try buying some cables it's way cheaper and probably as effective if not more than the Bowflex |
