Customer Reviews

You might think 210 lbs is a lot, but...
...right off the bat, if you do calf raises you'll need more than this. You'll do a lot more weight with shoulder shrugs than you think too.

Mine didn't come with instructions. You have to take the rod block off the machine so you can get to the bottom of it to put in the screws. Just pop out the two covers (I used a flat screwdriver to pry them out), insert the rods, and put a philips screw into the bottom of the block to hold the rod in (screws are included).

Much better
For most of us who exercise regularly, the Bowflex Sport is a fine exercise machine. Unfortunately though, two hundred and ten pounds of resistance is not enough. The 310 lb. upgrade is a neccessity for serious workout. I found by upgrading to 310 lbs., I can't bench press the whole machine. I would recommend for any serious lifter, when you buy the the bowflex sport to immediately upgrade to 310 lbs.

Great except for lack of install instructions
I have a Bowflex Blaze model, and the two 50-lb rods that came with this upgrade were needed because the 210 lbs was insufficient for me for some of the lower body exercises.

I was able to install them pretty easily, but I had to look at some of the other reviews to confirm the method.

They work just great, and the Bowflex itself for me is the best fitness aparatus I've ever owned or used - many exercises that I struggle with on traditional machines (mostly due to some aspect of gravity on supporting joints) are very fruitful on bowflex, and I've had no joint-related injuries that have plagued me most of my life. Great stuff!
