I too purchased a Lady BW, and have found only a few exercises too easy. I feel mine is an invaluable piece of equipment for my iso training. By the way, it was bought as a gift for my wife who at first thought it was a bicycle pump. She quickly lost interest, and I inherited it. Brawn wrote: Thanks for you input, Jay. I will incorporateiso-motion into the routine to give all areas of mychest a good workout.I, too, purchased a Lady

Bullworker about a year agoto add variety to my exercise. I wonder how many guysover the years have purchased a Lady Bullworker,realizing how helpful it can be. Hopefully many did,not letting the word "Lady" get in their way.Richbwbeliever--- joe halpern <eddyc2405> wrote:> Hi Jay ,> > Thanks for your response it was very thorough.

If we research Bullworker, we will find many men who have gained not only strength and stamina from using it, but better health and more muscle, too. I am one of them. All I can say is, if the Bullworker produced excellent results in the 60s and 70s, it will do the same today. I'm amazed when I read that all of a sudden an exercise is outdated and no longer works. How can that be? The Bullworker works if used. The proof is out there.Chuck Barone wrote: I

can sure vouch, from a male perspective, that the BWworks. I've told my story on another forum and maybehere, so won't bother with repeating it.Anybody who says isometrics don't build stamina,whether exercise physiologists, scientists, or anyoneelse just doesn't know what they're talking about. Anyof that group who says isometrics only builds strengthat the specific angle that the muscle is worked iswrong.If that's the case, then I shouldn't have been able toswing a shovel for hours, or move and lift concreteblocks, lumber, etc that used those muscles at alldifferent angles. Yet, I could and did.My only disappointment is that I didn't order onedecades ago when I first saw them advertised.Chuck--- richard pancoast <plumbguy2002> wrote:> For all the ladies out there: I have posted this> before, but I believe
