Works great.,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Bowflex 410-Pound Rod Upgrade (Sports)
Note: If you are thinking about buying these, you need these first: Bowflex 310 lb. Rod Upgrade.
Installation of the 410 lb upgrade is a lot eaiser than the 310 lb upgrade as these slip right on the back of your existing rod block and lock in place. The 310 lb upgrade requires you to remove your rod block and pop off the caps and screw them into the rod block from the bottom of the block. Not super hard to do, but does require you to disassemble the rod block from the machine (at least it did on my Extreme 2). Neither the 310 lb nor the 410 lb upgrade came with directions. It is fairly easy to install them, but directions would have been nice. The Extreme 2 installation instructions don't mention anything about installing extra rods either. I have found in working out that I rarely ever go with all the rods. I am no giant, but I am no small guy either. So your call on if you need to buy these. My advice would be to buy the 310 lb upgrade and see if you ever need more. These are really easy to add (compared to the 310 lb upgrade), so see if you are max'ing out at 310 and then buy these if needed.

It is what it is, more resistance...,

This review is from: Bowflex 410-Pound Rod Upgrade (Sports)
I don't know how closely these "bows" translate into real world pounds, but it's nice to max out the potential of your Bowflex. I'm already a strong guy and have been a recovering gym rat for years. But, I can't bench 410 lbs normally, and even with this upgrade I'm still doing repetitions of like 10 after doing 4-5 sets previously.
I know it has to do with pulleys and the variable resistance with the amount of flex in the bows, but still. These bows aren't even close to real world weight. But hey, it still beats driving to the gym and waiting for machines and free weights. Unless you want to become a hardcore bodybuilder, the Bowflex is convenient and sufficient.

What one would expect,
By Errol Shlivinhov "Vladimir" (Atlantic Ocean) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Bowflex 410-Pound Rod Upgrade (Sports)
It was just the 100 lb addition. There were no surprises in getting the upgrade; you get more weight, it gets a little harder. The bowflex weights are highly unrealistic though. I am able to bench all 410 lbs more than once. I weight about 180 lbs and there is no way I can actually bench 410 lbs. I can probably do half of that, but the bowflex was made for convenience, in which it has succeeded. The weight is worth getting if you plan on staying with the bowflex and you need more weight.
