Guest guest Posted April 5, 2007 Report Share Posted April 5, 2007 Being an owner of all 3 products, its kind of sad to see that a war is brewing up. All 3 are excellent in their own right and it just depends on what the user wants. I'd say an X5 is great for isometrics; the Isokintor great for isomotion/kinetic; and the Steel Bow is a combination of both. Neither is overall better than the other objectively - it just depends on what the user wants to achieve. If you want just isometrics and want to give some serious strength pushs with lots of variations and not bothered by size, then X5 suits. If you want muscle pump, something that can be carried in your back pocket, the isokinator may be your thing. If you want a bit of both with the added fun of some he-man power spring tension, then Steel Bow is right up your street. At this moment in time, the isokinator is flavor of the month for me. Who knows, maybe next month I will go isometric again to work through some plateaus or variation. So, when someone draws a comparison between the 3 it should not be taken too objectively because there is a lot of personal preference involved in the reality of all of this. Horses for courses.
