Customer Reviews


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 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.
