Unique power rods are used for resistance in lieu of free weights.
Bowflex power rods loose resistance.
Power rods are made of a composite material called poly hexamethylene adipamide.
Both machines offer a more consistent resistance weight throughout your range of motion than you ll get with power rods.
Helps ensure your bowflex power rod resistance rods perform just like new every time you use them.

But as you change arm position using weights the leverage changes affecting the.
You need to tie the rods together after a workout or they will stay bent.
