If you goal is strength building you'll get very little muscle building benefit, if any, if long term you are doing 30 reps of the same exercise over and over. You need more weight and less reps and perhaps another set or two. I would start increasing the weights every workout by the minimum possible until you reach a…

increase what? muscle? if so, why are you doing low weight high rep? never a good idea to do stuff without knowing what you are trying to accomplish[/quote] Probably why I was asking

What are you trying to accomplish here? [/quote] I'm not sure what I am trying to accomplish. I know I would like to stay ahead of my kids so increase some I guess

It hasn't helped me with any weight loss at all but I wasn't expecting that, and, I'm not expecting to become big like Lou Forigno or Arnold…

I appreciate your reply ninerbuff. I know very little about weight training. I do know I will probably not ever do free weights with my sons. so I guess I probably asked a stupid question about stabilizer muscles that I will more than likely never have a need for. I bought this bowflex thing to try to keep me active in the…

SideSteel: I have a bowflex extreme. If I change the angle of the cables would that work the muscles in the groups differently?
