How do Power Rods work? Do they offer real resistance?
The Bowflex® Power Rod® System offers resistance from the start to finish of each exercise (unlike weight stacks). Power Rods feel very much like free weights or dumbbells. Power Rod® resistance is progressive, meaning that the more you flex the rods, the more weight you are displacing. Resistance strength training with the Power Rods is what makes Bowflex so effective.
