The X-5 Gold is available and well be posted very soon. The product can still be ordered on our e-Bay site. For strap lovers it is still the oldest continually manufactured Bullworker. It has and always well be a quality designed product. Bullworker USA daveflu1959 wrote: , Thanks for the

That review was written by the same guy who blasted in past, Bert or whatever. He was banned from this club. He also went into the Bullworker Forum and psted as Bullworkeroldtimer and spewed his negative poison. The more I read this guys stuff, the more I believe he has a huge problem and should be ignored. Richknuj_gse wrote: >> Have u guys seen the following post? > > http://www.articlesbase.com/equipment-articles/bullworker-steel-bow-a-review-81284.htmlI think the writer is a bit mixed up when he says thesteel bow is a copy of the BX. The steel bow is a copy of the BW2 and the BW2 goes way back to the '70s. So if the steel bow copied from anything, it was the BW2. It's the steel bow 28 that looks like the BX. And I think the author also fails to distinguish between the SB and the SB28 by saying that the SB has 3 tubes.The BX, to me, looks like the X5 or Gold, which, I think, came long before the BX. The BX just replaced the straps and handles with the cables and handles of the BW2. So I think that if there was any copying done, it was the BX getting the style

of the X5 and replacing the handles and straps with that of the BW2. The BX simply combined the X5 and BW2.When I was considering the BX, I was wondering about the claims of it building muscle "faster than any other method." How could this be claimed if it's really nodifferent from the BWs? Are their exercises any special?Is it the greater resistance? (If so, it's not valid because this does not matter when it comes toisometrics.)Right now, I just think that the BX is just another option for isometric exercise. Whether it's better ornot than BWs is a matter of personal choice. In fact,the only difference I see between the BX and BWmodels (including the power bows) is the "extras"included in the package. I don't have a BX, but I hada BW2 and a BWGold. I think I could use any which wouldbe available. In fact, while I'm impatiently waiting for my latest BW order right now, I could do

isometricswithout any specific gadget, such as doing sanchin. (Though I don't train on pure isometrics alone.)I think the review was not realistic. But that's just me.Gerry __________________________________________________

Let us look this in another angle. Someone wants to

get fit looking for a portable home gym there are less

chances he know about bullworker and its site already

and buy it from www.thebullworker.com. Many will

typically go to a search engine and type “portable

home gym “,“isometric home gym” or “isometric muscle

builder”. Now he see hits on bullworker extreme and

there is no hit on X5. When he drills into BX page he

firsts read about how BX is superior to X5 steelbow.

Now bullworker lost one potential buyer to BX. This is

what happened exactly in 80s when IBM lost its market

share to IBM clones.

I have read some studies that indicate that intense isometics deliver best results when the contraction is in the fully (or nearly fully) contracted position. So whatever equipment allows you to position your body so that the targeted muscle group is in the fully contracted position when you are doing the isometric contraction - you will get better results in terms of muscle growth and strength improvements. For example, when doing chest compressions I would think a smaller machine that allows you to push in with your hands closer together would actually be superior to one that is larger and your fully contracted position is with your hands still 1.5 feet appart.
