Being in the current situation I am in, it would be best for me to continue strength training, or atleast maintaining my strength. The predicamanet I am in calls for me to abandon the fully stocked gym for over two years or more. I would like to know what kind of equipment I should get my hands on to keep working out or maintaining current strength.
I am taking a look at a Bowflex right now, and I just don't know if it is the same thing. At the site (http://www.bowflex.com/index.asp) it talks about how Bowflex is good for building muscle, losing wieght, etc...that's all fine and dandy, but does it give the same result as weight lifting?
Eh, I guess resistance training could be more or less weight lifting, it's all pushing and pulling against gravity anyway, right? Makes you wonder what the equivalance of the resistance is to weights...hmmm
Anybody got a bowflex? Anything you guys want to say about it?
I don't know how I arrived at this question, but does the amount of pushups you do keep your strength up? I remember reading about training for endurance, strength, and bulking up, but...say if you're some place with no equipment at all, could you do a few hundred push-ups to make sure you don't lose any strength?
