Trying not to screw things up worse
Whatever you lift, whether it's a milk jug or a sandbag or a proper dumbbell or one of your dogs, just lift it repeatedly and don't stop just because you're feeling lazy! You will see results.
My son used the original Soloflex with the elastic bands. It did the job, muscles don't know the difference.
Well we don't have to agree but my son is in great physical shape and hasn't been to the ER. With the Soloflex he didn't need a spotter and could use it at his convenience. He wasn't trying to see how much he could press. I think the arguments again Soloflex and such mean little to most of us. YMMVWell, you can't work the muscles the same because there's no control for the Soloflex or the Bowflex. The advantage is other "Micro muscles" get worked that you don't work with free weights, the disadvantage is you can't work specific groups that good. Also, there's no weight relation. 310 pounds on the Bowflex does not translate to free weights. It translates to a trip to the ER if someone thinks it translates.
We must have miscommunicated. I was trying to be positive and encouraging because you said you were going to start getting back into shape, which I was genuinely happy to hear. Whatever I said wrong, I hope I haven't discouraged you. Good luck.
Comparing effectiveness of workouts by looking at photographs of paid models defies my sense of engineering logic. The only things important to me is does it benefit me without making my home look too much like a gym. BTW the original SoloFlex makes a rather neat clothes rack when ironing shirts.
Nah it was rude. There's enough other people being rude on here, I'm gonna try and keep it polite.No, I liked your other reply better. Post it, please
My suggestion was to put your used Bowflex online. Meanwhile find a simple bench and set of freeweights.

Aww. They were probably preparing to open their mouths for food hoping it would get dropped into their mouths.Our four baby dinosaurs turned their noses up at me today when I asked them nicely for a photo. Little bastards.

Remembering D-Day.
I had a cousin that was in the Battle of the Bulge. After the war he purchased or read every book he could find on WWII and especially the Bulge. In his LR I met a local who had served in Darby's Rangers. When I walked into my cousin's auto parts store in uniform (back in my youth) with the 82d patch on my shoulder he had tears in his eyes as he recalled seeing that patch on the shoulders of the 82d ABN road guards at every crossroad as they came out of the Ardennes. He never forgot!
The Ranger was Osbourne Sawyer assistant BAR man. I learned from a BAR man that the assistant had the hard job, he carried the heavy ammo.
