Bowflex and the ArmBlaster

Here is a new twist on an old but beloved tool. I was helping my parents clean out their garage a few weekends ago and lo and behold I found my original Weider Arm Blaster. Yes, I remember the ad in the Muscle and Fitness mags of Arnold with his blaster and big guns. What is amazing these are hard to find these days, but we have had one at Universe gym (pic below) for a few years that someone donated (thanks whoever that was). The workout that this small but simple piece of metal gives is awesome. So I decided to put mine to the test but not at the gym, at home on my Bowflex X2. Yes I do use it and four times a week still along with free weight training at Universe. One of my biggest complaints of the X2 was that it didn't have a preacher curl attachment (added one later on the Ultimate2) so that is when I came up with the Martin Curl (concentration curl off of the back bench). So, when I found my blaster I decided to really intensify my arm workout at home, and I have to say that I love it. Below are some pics of the different bi and tri exercises I have incorporated. The strictness and pump is awesome, especially after coming home from a heavy workout at the gym. If you can find one of these and you have a Bowflex at home, this is a great addition to the toolbox.
