Guest guest Posted January 8, 2007 Report Share Posted January 8, 2007 So guess what I'll be doing as soon as I finish announcing how pleased I am with it, after playing with swapping springs, etc. My wife is happy, too. It's quiet - no squeaks - so I'm now allowed to do reps. This is one nice little piece of equipment and, after trying various positions, I've discovered the shorter length won't be a problem at all for someone my height, 6'1 " tall. I'm going to start the exercises exactly by the enclosed chart, even though I've been working with an older BW for almost 10 months. Given the different size, I think that's just wise. Also, the heaviest spring is definitely very heavy. They weren't lying about that. I love this little Steel Bow already, and I haven't even used it yet.

Guest guest Posted January 8, 2007 Report Share Posted January 8, 2007 Congratulations Chuck. The more you use it, the more you will love it. I take mine to work with me every day. I haven't tried the heaviest spring yet, just the other two. I like to refer to mine as my " Baby Bullworker. " Enjoy!

Guest guest Posted January 8, 2007 Report Share Posted January 8, 2007 Chuck, You sound like a new father. Let us know what you think after using it. I haven't gotten one yet.

Guest guest Posted January 8, 2007 Report Share Posted January 8, 2007 After using the new little Steel Bow, I am sold. My old BW's are being put back in the closet. This thing is amazing. The iso motion routine is a workout all by itself, and that's just using the lightest spring. It's quiet, not much more than a soft 'shushing' type sound as you compress it, almost as if it's air filled rather than having a spring inside. I even figured out a lower back exercise already. Sit in a chair and put the Bow on the floor, a cable under your feet or foot. Bend over and grab the other cable and try to straighten up using only lower back muscles. You get a great pull on the lower back. The heavy spring is way beyond me, at 61 yrs old. I can use it for back exercises, such as putting the thing on the front of my hip and compressing right then left and for the lower back thing above. Any other exercises, it's too much. The middle spring gets all the work except for the iso motion workout, which is the light spring. If I sound enthusiastic, I am. It is an amazing, and the size isn't a problem at all, which was something I was concerned about at 6'1 " tall. I like it even better than the full sized Bullworkers. Everybody ought to have one.

Guest guest Posted January 9, 2007 Report Share Posted January 9, 2007 Glad you like it, Chuck. For those who may still be a bit skeptical about the Steel Bow, just try it. What have you got to lose? It's guaranteed. RichChuck Barone wrote: After using the new little Steel Bow, I am sold. Myold BW's are being put back in the closet. This thingis amazing.

Guest guest Posted January 9, 2007 Report Share Posted January 9, 2007 That Steel Bow is one tough baby! Put the heaviest spring in it just for fun, you won't believe how tough that baby can be.

Guest guest Posted January 9, 2007 Report Share Posted January 9, 2007 I think the heavy spring is heavier than the BullyX spring by a good few pounds. Plus the Steel Bow is higher quality.
