X-5 Gold has most resistance

[Guest guest]

Giant BX Myth So a friend of mine asks me how much stronger is the resistance on the Bully-X… so we decide to find out. Our test is to see how much pressure in pounds it takes to compress the unit completely. Using both units (Bullworker X-5 Gold & the Bully-X) and a balance scale, we compressed the units completely and then back off enough so we could see space between the measuring ring and the power meter. Then to make sure we were accurate; the balance point cannot lift when you close the gap; at which point there is no more spring movement and further compression is against a fixed object and the balance point lifts. We came up with the following results: Bully-Xtreme = 94 lbsX-5 Gold = 105 lbs (+11.7%) Yet the Gold felt much more forgiving when using so we took the units apart

and found out why… the Gold has longer springs, allowing for less resistance in the initial compression, yet greater resistance for complete compression. Gert Kolbels strikes again!!! The X-5 Gold and the BX are 3 tube, 2 spring design, differences being handles, straps & cables, and plastic & steel. With the longer springs it takes greater strength to completely compress X-5 Gold. The BX has only 9 inches of movement.The X-5 Gold has 15 + inches of movement or 70% more, allowing a much more forgiving distance to measure improvement. 9 inches on the BX is harder than 9 inches on the Gold. Which appears to be what everyone (myself included) assumed to be greater resistance. It

is not. After 9 inches, the BX has no more movement while the Gold has 70% more to go, requiring greater strength for total compression. The X-5 Gold takes much more strength to compress COMPLETELY than the Bully-Xtreme. Test it yourself… it is not even close. ***
