To BowFlex or not

BowFlex

I own a bowflex,is it all that, I have to say no!I have worked out a fair bit since the age of 13,mostly with free weights.I bought a bowflex because it is convient and does not take up much space and the wife said the weights have to go,no room in the house! So I have a platform with a bench and about 300 pounds of weights that I use in the summer in the back yard!
Do I use my bowflex,yes, winter only, use the outdoor weights in the summer. I am not putting down the bowflex don't get me wrong, it is just not for me, I don't get the same burn or pump as I do with free weights.
For someone who wants to firm up and has never really experienced free weights by all means bowflex is for you, but if you mostly are weight trained you may be disappointed with the feel of the bowflex.

Thanks Guys

Winter is tough enough!

When one installs a heat pump one has to take in many considerations,concerning the client and considering future service and maintenance! But most installers just don't get it, their attitude is get this job done,once they are gone they never have to deal with the consequences of a poorly placed unit. The client usually decides where he would like his unit to go,it is up to the installer to give the client the pros and cons of his choice,unfortunally most do not,but they will try to convince the client otherwise if the clients choice makes thier installation difficult.

As for service again they don`t really care,once done they never return. The above job was installed in the summer,an akward stance but do able because naturally your footing in not too bad. Now imagine my dilema now that I have to service this unit with ice as my footing, the ice being there because a heat pump defrosts itself anywhere from 8 to 12 times a day thus draining water on a sloped service at below zero temperatures, Duh!!! A good considerate installer is one who has service experience!
