don't buy either one. they are a waste of money IMO. Buy a decent Smith Machine and some free weights.

and it's probably cheaper than the "bow flex" garbage

I would definitely watch Craigslist. Look for a power rack or even a home gym(if you're budget will allow it). Depending on how patient you are, there are some good deals that pop up. I've tried the Bowflex and hated it. I'm not against cable weights and such, but the feel of the Bowflex is just retarded. You'd be better off spending that $50 on a set of used dumbbells to get started.

x2 on all that shit...
you're better off planning solid program, researching supplements, and reading up on technique WHILE you keep an eye out for a decent smith or bench and adjustable rack...
like my etrader friend says "the money's in tomorrow, not today"
