hey all. i'm going to be starting the p90x program in about a week or so (once everything comes in the mail) but i was reading the forum and saw bigfoot made a post about getting the bowflex selecttech dumbbells at sports authority for cheap. so i called my local sports authority, heard the price and ran on down there.

i know these are useful for this program so i figured i'd make a thread to let you all know to check it out.

the sale started today 8/30/08 at my sports authority (in new york). it's the bowflex selecttech 552 dumbbells. they are adjustable up to 52.5 lbs each. and here's the kicker, the stand was FREE.

so the entire thing cost me $350.00 + tax for the dumbbells AND the stand. great deal.

so i would rush out now before the sale is over. oh, one more thing, there's a 90 day return policy too.

wait, and the stand too for only $350??? I bought the bowaflex dumbells on saturday from the sports authority for $350 but it sure didnt include the stand. I know ,'cause I asked if the stand was on special sale too. Damn, you got a sweeter deal than i did. I feel bummed now!

sweet deal

when the time comes (middle of phase 2)you'll only need to get a few bigger weight to compliment your bowflex and still have all the space free.
are the bowflex expendable?

they go from 5 lbs to 52.5 lbs but I think you can buy larger plates if you need.

the excersize dvd that came with it is extremely thoughough. Full of great moves and taught with safety and correct form as number one. It shows all of the common mistakes everyone makes and how to do things right.

sorry man. check back and see if they expanded their sale. since it's a 90 day return, i'm guessing that if they do start selling for a better price within those 90 days, you can bring in your receipt and they'll give you the better offer.
