Guest guest Posted July 15, 2008 Report Share Posted July 15, 2008 My name is Bob. I am 48 years old. I have a very old bullworker that my dad bought me for my birthday when I was a kid. This is not like the x5 - it still has the steel cables on it. I lost the manual for it when a long time ago, but I still work with my bullworker from memory. If anyone has an old bullworker manual with the super 7 on it please send it via email or post a link here. I am looking forward to getting back to using the bullworker daily again. Back when I was younger, I had so much muscle from the bullworker it was not funny. I remember being the strongest kid in my school all through hi school. I remember in 9th grade I could bench press 300lbs and I never used anything but the bullworker. When I graduated I was even stronger than that! Ahhh those were the days!

Guest guest Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 Hello Mr. Welber, I would like to call attention to what I feel is a misconception of differences between the Classic & Steel-Bow.It is my belief the Steel-Bow is suitable for any upper body exercise and most lower, when compared to the Classic.While the Classic allows one to start an exercise with their arms further apart... it is much more difficult to compress a Classic than it is a Steel-Bow. So the premise I am putting forward is:How can a product be too short while the other is never too long?It is impossible to engage only a partial segment of a muscle... so it is either fully engaged in resistance... or it is not.Is it better to put an "extended" muscle under greater resistance than a "contracted" muscle? The Classic offers over twice the resistance of the Steel-Bow, but outside of leg exercises and side compressions, I am unable to utilize the compression levels of the Classic as effectively as the Steel-Bow.While opinions run high on this topic, at Bullworker we like to present the difference between the two as "Barbell" & "Dumbbell."I have always enjoyed the macho image of barbell lifters... but the Steel-Bow is as effective if not more versatile than Kettlebells and I have never read that a Kettlebell is too short. Dumbbells have always been used for "target" area exercising, and so too, the Steel-Bow offers much more variety in its use than the Classic. As a 60th year man myself, I have found fitness and agility for more rewarding than how strong I am... especially in my joints. That being said, we have plenty of each product in inventory and what ever model you choose, we are grateful for your choice.
