Re: Smaller Bullworker - Made In China

[Guest guest]

Gentleman, Before I went to India for the Steel-Bow, I was working with China on the strap version. There was a definite language problem and certain points on the unit were structurally unsound. After repeated efforts to correct these flaws, including a review of the product by Gert Kolbel, I abandoned the model and took my ideas to Bullworker Enterprises of India, who had much more experience in the production of Bullworkers. I have been very pleased with the expertise Bullworker Enterprises and look forward to a long and "progressive" relationship with their efforts. One year later, I see ads for this China proto-type under the name of Bullworker X-5 and all I can say is if you are interested in this model, I have nothing to do with it and the models I received from them were very inferior and subject to structural malfunction. This is classic

Trademark rip-off and the possible perils of dealing with China. Bullworker spec4sosbee wrote: Hi everyone. I'm a new member and this is my first post.

Hi, Mr. , everyone...

Thanks for the information, but I'm not sure we are speaking about

the SAME model. This particular model looks nothing like the x-5, is

about 28 inches long (just like the lady bullworker from the 70s) and

has cables instead of straps. Again, I refer you to the picture

located on this page (see M):

http://bullworker-usa.com/

To me, this model looks like a good solid piece of equipment, but is

just a picture and I haven't been able to find any information on it

in my searches online, thus my queery here on this forum. I assume

this model was made back in the late 70s or early to mid 80s.

If I'm wrong about any of the above then I apologise in advance and

look forward to any corrections. I just thought it'd be kinda neat to

own a bullworker of the height/build of the old lady bullworker with

100 pounds total compressio, but thats just me! lol

Thanks for all of the above information and I shall take everything

into consideration. That being said, if Mr. has a spare Model

M he'd like to sell to me (lol) then he should contact asap! : )

Like Mr. said, I also have and use 4 different models of

bullworkers currently, and each has their own appeal and uses for me.

For example, I too like to use the lady bullworker on those harder

exercises - presses behind the back (the most difficult of bullworker

exercises) as well as overhead for the deltoids (which im proud to

say I can fully close the lady for several reps now! - nothing like

the thrill of progress!). When it comes to back exercises though, the

x5 is my favorite - the straps are so comfortable in the hands and

its so much easier to get a full contraction in the lats when doing

the " strap pulldowns " as i call them, with the end of the bullworker

resting upon a leg while seated. That really hits my lats good. When

it comes to doing biceps or chest I prefer the " smoother " sliding

motion of my Macho Power, and now, I think my newly acquired circa

1967 Tensolator (with original manual!) will make the Macho obsolete

for me - anyone interested in trading a MODEL M for it?

Ok, gotta run. Thanks for all the interesting and very informative

comments.
