Guest guest Posted November 11, 2011 Report Share Posted November 11, 2011 The reason is bullworker is portable and has tons of exercises than cables or chest expander.

Why not just use a chest expander/cables, or lift weights then? Sure you can do isotonic reps with the bullworker but it is a device designed primarily for isometric holds, if you dont like isometrics or find them effective I don't see the point of getting a bullworker when there are more efficient tools to do what you're trying to do. > > Just curious to ask. With bullworker the isotonic reps build muscle not isometric contraction. For example doing 10 reps with bullworker builds muscle (even though not like weights) better than isometric contraction. In my test senior bullworker and X5 with straps, lady bullworker helps to build muscle due to its range of motion it provides for isotonic reps. Now I see there is no X5 in the market and it is replaced with some strong spring version which is useless for isotonic reps. Steel bow has lighter spring but range of motion is less compared to X5 or senior bullworker. I think few years back bullworker had better products (X5 with straps, senior bullworker) than now. Instead of improving we see just product get worse. Any comments (I expect one from john huges). I would suggest bullworker with high compression distance of X5 with spring resistance of 50lbs would be the perfect fit for muscle building. > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 16, 2011 Report Share Posted November 16, 2011 I feel Mr. Ram is correct. Bullworker unlike cables weights you don’t have to adjust resistance it is versatile has tons of exercises also you can start next exercise right away without any adjustment, which is good for fat burning. I think bullworker is not manufacturing X5 for seniors any more.Kumar To: bullworkerclub Sent: Saturday, November 12, 2011 4:58 PMSubject: Re: Bullworker product line Same impression here, I love it! I got my Classic last week, and yes! it is tough to compress, but that's how I wanted it! I use it for isometric exercise exclusively, so my focus right now is on pushing and holding the tension for a count of 5-10 seconds. Even if the tube doesn't travel far, just the attempt of pushing the powermeter ring further is enough of a training, if you go isometric style. As for iso-motion or isokinetic training, I use my isokinator. Jens > > > > > > Just curious to ask. With bullworker the isotonic reps build muscle not isometric contraction.
