Guest guest Posted September 7, 2010 Report Share Posted September 7, 2010 > > Does anyone have any tips oh how to keep the X5 balanced when using full range (outer 2 only) straps? The body of the X5 moves around changing the angle and kind of messes the exercise up. Can't seem to find a way to use the outer straps for full range without the body of the device moving around. Any tips would be great..thanks. > Steve,I have two X5s but rarely use them as they to be frank are not my favourite model being too light in weight for me as well as other issues I have with it.However it is your choice so no criticism implied.You don't say which exercises you had in mind when using the outer straps however.I admit to framing my answer therefore a little in the dark and others who use the X5 might have more constructive advice than me.I am sort of assuming that the body of the device perhaps waves in some way and therefore it is a stability issue?How about taking a tip from The Steel Bow and working from some sort of platform such as across the edge of a table top and allowing that to stabilise one end.You know better than me which exercises you have in mind - perhaps a little lateral thinking might help.There is no reason to suppose that you cannot find ways to help yourself to use the Bullworker even if they depart slightly from the exercises shown on your charts for your model.I am of the opinion that a great number of Bullworker exercises and variations are possible with a little constructive thought.Obviously you must be careful here and not do anything absurd though I am sure you would not.Your point is an interesting one and I look forward to seeing what other members of the forum with different experience that me might suggest.Good luck.ED Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
