I had a bullworker in high school. I lifted weights after school and then at night I used the bullworker. I made significant gains in strength and size in my biceps and chest while using it in conjunction to weight training.
But see you used weights to Its a troll who trolls lying to people saying these can build big muscles using these only when these never have did that they only build lean muscle
They can, sorry too disappointi ya, but if used right it will build size and strength, not lou ferric o, size, you need weights for that, but the bull worker will jack ya up.
@@ascendediam So you "Get" that the Bull Worker Strengthens your tendons, so you can hold and life heavier weights, progressively? WHY then do you accuse BW users as "Trolls"? Seems like you're little Jealous of results that folks can gain, using a Bull Worker. Maybe, You're the Troll.
I owned the original Steel Bow. It had rust inside even though it was kept indoors. It was difficult to change the springs. The original had fewer and cost around $59 with $14.99 shipping. There were no handles on the cables. It was good but I gave it away. Why? I bought an Iso-Bow. If you don't need to measure the resistance, get an Iso-Bow They're tiny and ultra portable. Mine cost $9.99 plus shipping when they first came out. I use a 2" X 4" X 14" board for pushing together movements between the arms. It was left over from some project I did years ago. So it was free. For the abdominal muscles I sometimes use an ab wheel when I don't use the board. Mine cost $9.99 plus tax, twenty years ago. For aerobic work I bought a bungee cord mini trampoline for $69 a few years ago. My under $100 exercise equipment does everything a body could need. The only one that will ever wear out and need to be replaced is the mini trampoline. Today the same items might cost another $30. Still, what I've got is excellent for full body fitness. Some isometric gurus might say it would work for building big muscles too. That isn't my interest. The new Steel Bow costs more than double the price of my fitness items. Good luck with your fitness journey.
A lot of people misunderstand the Bullworker .. it's purpose is not to compete with weight lifting. . . .I have used both in my life . . it does make you strong and gives strength in a different way to weights. . . . weights will make you bigger and stronger. . the downside to weights is hours of lifting which leave you exhausted with big showy muscles and sore of which you have to keep adding more weight to achieve a goal . . .to look big . . .there are different ways to use Bullworker . .it does give you strength and stamina .. weights are great for lifting .. Bullworker is great for holding an object for a period of time and makes muscle hard and firm with a lot less effort than straining to lift weights which you will probably not lift in a real life situation. . in what lifetime events would you be lifting heavy weights on a daily basis? None . . .Bullworker does more for sinews and tendons.
Correct i switched from weights to worker 2 years ago I no longer be drained a hr after lifting heavy or do I need to take mutiple breaks like I did with weights I have more energy The worker has made me toned which weights never did i only got bigger
Correct.after using bullworker i easily get up in morning rather than feeling drained and tired..i lifted and carried weights,did calisthenics ..now i mix it up with bullworker...It does keeps the muscles hard and toned.
Ma'am bullworker is best fitness in machine which you will carry,and this product in one way machine,not to change any weights ,in other bullworker,you have to fast work ,in this bullworker you have only spring change in oldest bullworker you have not change anything just do fast work out,and go for your work in office. Bullworker is measure in weight also its spring is in weight also.
So Bullworker combines yielding isometrics (holds at less than 100% max), overcoming isometrics (holds at 100% max) and isotonic (ability to do reps). Do I have that right, Matt?
Thinking about these springs, I can't help but wonder why no one has created something like the iso-chain, but with lighter springs, so the bar actually moves like a barbell.
Hello. I have had the original Bullworker from the 1970's. I seem to have lost it but purchased the X5 version a few months ago. But I have One problem with it. I am only 5'5" and my arm span is not that wide. So many exercises are a bit awkward to do. I have seen the steel bow as you are using BUT I think it is a bit too small for full range of motion. I am interested in the 28" version called the X5 PRO that also comes with a variety of springs. Can you tell me if that version is Ok for a person of my size etc. It is quite costly, but I want to purchase the correct one. Thank you for all your videos.
Matt, Have you ever thought about reviewing a total gym? I see so many of them for sale online. It also seems like I could do so many of the exercises with a suspension trainer.
A buddy of mine had one and I was playing with it one afternoon. It's quite the unique piece of equipment. maybe I should invest in a used one and do just that.Thanks for the idea
I was thinking of how to make my own isochain. And as l started to watch this video l thought...l can just attach an adjustable strap onto one of the cables of my Bullworker and l have all the features of the isochain (force meter and reflex spring).
From watching video looked to be like a medium difference in smoothness and a low recoil last week compared to s2 which I have Thoughts before retrieving would work my muscles harder then the previous model which i have still Using the s3 in person the smoothness is a big difference more then the medium I thought it was looking at the video Even though I have been used to the black spring in the s2 since last year the s3 I have to get used to the first spring agian and working my way up to the last one cause the s3 works my muscles harder i knew that before getting the s3 that I would have to get used to all springs cause my muscles would be worked with no limits The s3 not only has a small recoil but as I said the smoothness is a big difference from s2 i noticed to that I can stop the spring at any distance and push from there but with the s2 I cant cause it has that bad recoil so which ever point I stop at I usually just pushed from there The s3 you can feel with each rep the muscles are being worked smoothly with a good amount of pressure even when using the first spring Each rep is fully controlled Get the s3 its amazing
Its good I never used it but have used the basic iso bow ver the advanced ver your talking on has set resistance The iso bow which I have but stopped using since your using your own resistance when working out with it you can lose the pressure easy and its so called unlimited since it's your own but its no way to keep constant pressure by using your own strength so the advanced ver is way better cause it can keep it hope I made sense
I had the red handle one regret giving it away bought this grey one just doesn't feel has well made has the 1st steel bow not sure might send back and try and find the 1st one I had
Nothing that can't be done with a child's soccer ball and a towel. The meter is an advantage, I suppose. These are for people who don't really want to train. A gimmick that people think they need. I started with one of these and reached peak 'newby' gains in about a month but it got me into the habit of regular training at least and I went to weights and calisthenics from there. If you want serious progress with one of these you need to apply diet and gruelling training regimens as with anything else. There is no short cut.
This is mainly for isometrics training which helps build the muscle tendons rather than the muscle itself. This in turn helps lift bigger weights with less risk of injury. Maybe learn what each piece of equipment is for before dismissing it publically.

Bullworker is fab. Depends how you use it.
That's a very good tool for isometric exercise. Thanks for the review.
Had mine since last year works real good for toning and fat loss

How does this compare to the chest expander and which one would you think is best?
Red delta, please do oneon the bullworker classic as well.
Thinking about these springs, I can't help but wonder why no one has created something like the iso-chain, but with lighter springs, so the bar actually moves like a barbell.
Cause its difficult i dont see how that would work with the shape of it
Show bullworker book in full details ,sir.

SHHHH! They will find out and once they do you know what that means, hotdog futures and the stock market will crash!
@@RedDeltaProject Very nice. Good review either way. I like the normal bullworker myself, but haven't had a chance to try the steel bow as of yet.
Can You do a review on the new bullworker classic?
From watching video looked to be like a medium difference in smoothness and a low recoil last week compared to s2 which I have
Thoughts before retrieving would work my muscles harder then the previous model which i have still
Using the s3 in person the smoothness is a big difference more then the medium I thought it was looking at the video
Even though I have been used to the black spring in the s2 since last year the s3 I have to get used to the first spring agian and working my way up to the last one cause the s3 works my muscles harder i knew that before getting the s3 that I would have to get used to all springs cause my muscles would be worked with no limits
The s3 not only has a small recoil but as I said the smoothness is a big difference from s2
i noticed to that I can stop the spring at any distance and push from there but with the s2 I cant cause it has that bad recoil so which ever point I stop at I usually just pushed from there
The s3 you can feel with each rep the muscles are being worked smoothly with a good amount of pressure even when using the first spring
Each rep is fully controlled
Get the s3 its amazing
Bulworker classic is excelllent . , ,way different to X5 . .difficult at first.
@@mnhyti my review of 3 is correct
what do you think of the Isokinator? Supposedly an entire gym the size of a forearm.
Its good I never used it but have used the basic iso bow ver the advanced ver your talking on has set resistance
The iso bow which I have but stopped using since your using your own resistance when working out with it you can lose the pressure easy and its so called unlimited since it's your own but its no way to keep constant pressure by using your own strength so the advanced ver is way better cause it can keep it hope I made sense
Get a towel. Just as good and a tiny fraction of the price.
@@kevinpeat3721 stop trolling
"Where does he get all those wonderful toys"?
Classic!
Wow whare did get that I haven't seen one in years cool
Here's the link to the whole Bullworker line:
goo.gl/YQ1ehT
Where & how to buy.
How much.
Did u get one
The slider came out in the 70's I got the first ones that was like that
Why way outdated and limited
Too expensive. Power twister + chest expander seems better.
I had the red handle one regret giving it away bought this grey one just doesn't feel has well made has the 1st steel bow not sure might send back and try and find the 1st one I had
Wrong this is way smoother and has less recoil than the s2 model watch vids how to use these I have both models
If bullworker wants an original, I have one in new condition with the original case.
I got classic for sell for 170 with iso bow
Its a troll who trolls lying to people saying these can build big muscles when these never have did that
they only build lean muscle
🤣😂
