Re: Does model size affect results?

[Guest guest]

,

Thanks for the thorough information on this.

Quick question: are you no longer offering the X5 for sale? I

noticed that both sites now go to the new product and no link is

there for the Bullworker.

I think the writer is a bit mixed up when he says the

steel 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 no

different 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 to

isometrics.)

Right now, I just think that the BX is just another

option for isometric exercise. Whether it's better or

not than BWs is a matter of personal choice. In fact,

the only difference I see between the BX and BW

models (including the power bows) is the " extras "

included in the package. I don't have a BX, but I had

a BW2 and a BWGold. I think I could use any which would

be available. In fact, while I'm impatiently waiting

for my latest BW order right now, I could do isometrics

without 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.

Sherril is a marketer and an sleazy one at that.

He has been banned from this site under various names.

I would not use a BULLY if it was sent to me free.

From what I have read, it is exactly the opposite. for example, in

the bicep curl, the best angle to work (if you can only work one) is

the angle when the arm is fully down by your side, ie where the

angle is greatest.

Having said that, all of the research that I have read supports

working at least three angles for each muscle group.

Good stuff.

Maybe both ideas are correct, depending on how one

defines " best " ?

Working with the angle at the greatest extension

results in the best " strength carryover " to the

rest of the movement range, while working near the

fully contracted position results in best strength

gain (we get to contract the BW more, sooner)?

Just my presumption.

Of course, I agree that working more than one angle

would be best.
