Spiker, the reason it gets slammed is because it is resistance training therefore, for instance, if you have it set to the 50 lb flexrod you are only getting 50 lbs of resistance during its peak bend of the rod. Go to any bodybuilding forum (try bodybuilding.com) and do a search for bowflex. Not one person will recommend it and you will hear a lot more negative things about it then I can offer here. Like you pointed out, I have not used one, so the only thing I am pointing out is the thing that I know to be true which is the resistance flaw and that is huge enough for anybody to pass on.
