Guest guest Posted June 4, 2006 Report Posted June 4, 2006 , Strap gives me more isometric hold angles than cable. Since Isometric strength increase is angle specific Strap makes bullworker as a complete strength-training tool. Since you guaranteed strap can withstand even 1000 lbs in one of your post I believe durability is not an issue. Occasionally I need to adjust straps but I can buy that for more isometric angles it provides. wrote: Anyone want to go on record why they like: cables over straps? straps over cable? Not a test, as the reasons for the changes were documented in the patent... Just one of those opinion polls... I have mine... I'm interested in yours. Thanking you in advance for the response...

Guest guest Posted June 4, 2006 Report Posted June 4, 2006 I haven't been using the X5 or the original for very long (only a couple of months) like the veterans here but one think I do really like about the X5 is the inside grips on the tube. I like doing bicep, tricep and chest exercises that way. I love the bullworker. I feel like getting into a fight after using it.

Guest guest Posted June 5, 2006 Report Posted June 5, 2006 I too like features of both. Love the inside handles of X5, but outside grips on older model. I like the straps but hate the " sliding " effect you get with them on certain exercises, where you just can't seem to be exactly where you want to be. They need less movement I think. However, being able to use 2, 3, or 4 straps is a nice option versus cable. Tough call. For those interested, my friend who introduced me to BW exclusively used that and nothing else. He was and is the best conditioned athlete I've ever seen, in form and function. Unfortuneately I'm not, but then I drift from time to time to other things, but always come back to BW. Quote

Guest guest Posted June 10, 2006 Report Posted June 10, 2006 I like both. I have an X5 & a Bully Xtreme & I use both. Some exercises are better suited for straps & others for cables. Jay Quote
