Guest guest Posted August 25, 2005 Report Share Posted August 25, 2005 A very good message,thank you.

There are a lot of Bullworkers on ebay,and I've bid on a lot of them. However, I usually lost out.With a brand new bullworker costing some US$100, I would not bid more than US$40 including postage. And the bidsstill go that high. :(About a month ago, I noticed that the US distributor iseven selling at ebay, with a "Buy It Now" price of US$95compared to the US web site's price of US$99.I arrived in the US last April from the Philippines. AndI was not able to bring along my bullworker II becauseI was told at the airport gate that it might be considereda deadly weapon (???) -- I wasn't able to fit it in any ofmy checked-in baggage. So after numerous times beingout-bid at ebay, I ordered a brand new one. It seems thatthe bidding at ebay for bullworkers keeps bringing the price up to levels where it would be better to buy a newone.I have my X-5 Gold right now, but I think I prefer theold BW II. I'm wary of the lifetime of the nylon(?)cables. They seem a lot weaker than the BW II cables.They do provide a wider range of movement, though.I remember seeing ads before that replacement cableswere available. I don't see any now.Gerry__________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 25, 2005 Report Share Posted August 25, 2005 Garage sales are also good opportunities. I have found an X5 NIB and a Mark I for 1 euros each. (NIB and Including the wallchart of course !) Yes garage sales are the place to go !

Guest guest Posted August 25, 2005 Report Share Posted August 25, 2005 For overall strength,including arm strength,I recommend three chair pushups.Place two chairs 24" apart,third one back far enough for feet.Do two sets of as many as you can without straining.Do five-six days a week,working up to 50 reps in each set.Do the Bullworker arm exercises,also,for arms,place your right arm,bent at a right angle,palm up,in front of the body.Place your left hand over your right palm and exert force downward while curling your right hand towards right shoulder,resisting with your left hand.Resist with your left hand enough only enough to provide resistance-not enough so the the arm can't flex.Do a curl all the way up,then all the way down.You'll feel the biceps pumping.Do 15 reps,then do with your left arm.Then,repeat with right arm doing 20 reps,then 20 with left arm.Work at increasing the resisting force,rather than doing more reps. ..Felix Moronta wrote: Hey, what exercise you recommend if i want to get arm strenghtknuj_gse wrote: > Congratulations!> You can find good Bullworkers,cheap,on ebay.I tend to disagree.
