Guest guest Posted September 23, 2011 Report Share Posted September 23, 2011 250lbs. Resistance! Wow! That explains why I was REALLY having trouble doing my usual X5 exercises with the Bullworker Classic. I thought I had REALLY lost it! Silly me! For some reason I had thought BW Classic had 110lbs. resistance. 110 Lbs. resistance is definitely more than the X5, but 250lbs is more than twice the resistance of the X5. No wonder I was having trouble! Well then, @ 250 lbs resistance that's out of reach for most men and women, especially beginners. I wonder if there's some kind of DIY retrofit modification to the BW Classic I can do, that will allow me to remove the handle and replace the main spring with a 85lbs., or 100 lbs, or even a 125 lbs. main spring. A 125 lbs. main spring would still be more than ANY Bullworker past or present and still be more or less reachable for most users including beginners. I would gladly purchase from an " Upgrade Kit " with a main spring with less resistance, maybe 125 lbs.
