4 out of 5 stars Exactly what is listed - 2 50lb power rods   July 18, 2010
Dellamorte
I was really hesitant to spend the money and order this upgrade for my Bowflex based on the recent reviews of this product - A couple of recent reviews mentioned that what they got was not what was listed.

I figured since Amazon takes care of their customers, I would risk the money and order.

I got these within 3 days of ordering, they arrived in perfect condition, and are exactly what is listed - A set of 2 50lb power rods. These are definitely 50lb resistance (well, 50 bowflex lbs) not 30lb as some have mentioned.

The only diffence between this upgrade and the original 50 lb power rods on my Bowflex is the coating texture - these ARE rubber coated, but they are smooth instead of the "grippy" texture on the original rods. One note - the installation of this upgrade does require removal of the power rod assembly from the machine. You might need help to lay your machine on it's side to install.

If there was a problem with customers getting the right product, it seems to have been solved. The only reason I am not rating this 5 stars, is the price. These things have been around for a while now, you would think Bowflex would make the price more reasonable.

Overall, I am very happy with this purchase, and recommend this product to anyone thinking about upgrading from 210 to 310.

The product arrived quickly and in good condition. It was easy to assemble and it's working great.


2 out of 5 stars These rods are weaker than the originals   May 9, 2010
Rick Clark (Carlsbad, CA, USA)
The resistance of the 50 pound rods in the 310-Pound upgrade is noticeably less than the resistance of the 50 pound rods that came with the machine. They feel like they ought to be labeled 35 pounds because they feel just a hair more resistant than the 30 pound rods. While I am still a novice girlyman with the machine and body sculpting in general, the upgrade has not provided enough extra resistance for me to feel the burn doing leg presses. I believe that if the resistance matched the old rods, they would have been adequate.

On the good side, I got them installed quickly and easily, and delivery was prompt.

There is no way these rods are 50 lbs. maybe 30 lbs. at most. Are not rubber coated like originals. They do not retain there shape like original ones. Very disappointed.


1 out of 5 stars Scam?   April 4, 2010
Byrche Wroot
I got these about a week ago. There is no way they're of the same resistance as my current "50" rods. I liken them very much to "30s." I feel very much ripped-off. To be cliche, I'd give these a zero if possible.
