flwrlilly3, I'm not sure I understand the distinction between myoplex and protein powders - myoplex is a protein shake (powder)

You most certainly can do BFL at home - I have been doing so since November. I actually prefer free weights to machines - I get a better workout with them. All the exercises in the book are shown with free weights and with machines so you can pick. You can also choose to do other exercises - a place like ExRx can give you a good database to draw from. Pick a muscle or exercise and then choose 'dumbbell' or 'barbell' to see how they are performed.
