Should You Purchase The Bowflex PR1000?
The Bowflex Pr1000 is one of the very latest in a long line of state of the art weight resistance machines that have completely revolutionized how millions of people stay in shape. With over fifty separate exercises in its repertoire, it covers literally every muscle group in the body.
You can upgrade the weight on the bowflex pr1000 from the natural 210lbs to 310lbs. Power rods are the lifelong guaranteed stress shafts that provide the resistance for the machine.
The no change pulley system is revolutionary and something I think separates this exerciser from the competition.
In fact, the no change pulley system as mentioned above comes as standard, and this removes all of the unnecessary time and effort from changing the pulley from one exercise to another. This is something that you won't find on older machines.
The Bowflex PR1000 is a Folding Piece of equipment
The exercises you can perform on this home gym are very diverse. For example, you can perform the bench press, the lateral pulldown and even the leg press on it. This machine is also a folding model, so its a great choice for the person who's short on space.
Bowflex have earnt a great reputation over the years for delivering high quality exerciser at affordable prices. This exerciser carries on with that tradition. They also come with a warranty package that is rated as one of the best in the industry.
Upholstered With High Quality Material
With every bowflex pr1000 exerciser purchased you get a lifetime guarantee on the power rods which means you don't have to worry about how often you use it. Also the frame itself is welded from premium grade high carbon steel, while the upholstery is done with "super durable" automotive grade multi-layered vinyl.
Drawbacks
The Bowflex Blaze is definitely not perfect. Unfortunately, this exerciser does have one minor flaw and this is the fact you can't upgrade past 310 pounds of weight. If you are a powerlifter or you are incredibly strong then you may want to consider getting a different type of bowflex product that goes up beyond this weight.
Not The End Of The Road
Still yet, another option if you plan on going beyond its 310 pound resistance capacity, is to purchase a set of standard barbels with a leg exercise set up. This will really fatigue you and you will get more muscle much faster from doing this.

What are good LARP weapon materials?
I currently bought a windlass warlords foam latex sword with which i broke in a few weeks. After making my own sword (which turned out to look extremely horrible) i found that it was more durable. So what are some good materials that i can use to make another better sword. I have heard that carbon fiber rods are good cores, what about the foam and other materials? A few suggestions would be nice! thanks!
it really depends on how much you are willing to spend. Store bought latex swords are nice, but they are as durable as one would think. If you are going to buy a store bought sword, it should be a Calimacil. Calimacil swords are pricey but they're incredibly strong and durable. Anyways, onto your question.
Now with a home made weapon, you definitely lose out on the aesthetics... unless you are a great foam smith. There are many types of cores out there for weapons and the entry level core is PVC pipe. PVC pipe is cheap, comes in great quantity and is easily obtained everywhere. Fiberglass rods is another core you can use and it is the material used for most upper tier weapons. Even some store bought swords will use fiberglass cores. Fiberglass is very durable, ultra light. However, it's somewhat expensive, and (depending on your location) hard to obtain. If you can get your hands on fiberglass rods, I'd recommend .5 inch rods for weapons below 45 inches.
With foam, there are several options; and again it depends on how much you are willing to spend. You probably already know of the wal-mart blue camping pad foam. Those are around 6 dollars a roll and are fairly durable. There are also the REI camping mat as well at a higher price) Finally, there are the EVAlite white foam that can only be obtained by buying bulk and it's very expensive. But it is probably the best foam material for home made weapons.
Finally, I also use liquid latex for my weapons. Liquid latex can be obtained in a local craft store. Once you've actually finished your weapon, coat your weapon with 4-5 layers of latex. This increases the durability and you can paint over it, increasing the aesthetics of your weapon.
All in all, the durability and strength of your weapon is really about how well you can make it, not necessary what it's made out of.
Hope that helps
