Re: Isokinator Vs. Steel-Bow

[Guest guest]

:

IMHO, Even though we're comparing Apples to Oranges, I'd still advise a beginner

to start with the Steel-Bow & buy the Isokinator later on.

Because:

1.) The Steelbow is Cheaper. $70.00 + S & H. (more or less) Vs. Iso-K " Classic " @

$250!

2.) SB comes with DVD, Chart in English, understandable, etc. Iso-K no DVD (Only

Youtubes), Iso-K Manual is difficult to understand. Written by non-English

speaker.

3.) SB has 3 Different levels of resistance. Iso-K " classic " goes up to 90kg.

4.) SB is Beautifully designed, engineered, & well made. SB is a Quality

product. Iso-K is also well made and a quality product.

5.) You can do most of the the Isokinator Isokinetic/IsoMotion exercises on the

Steel-Bow plus a bunch of the " push " compression type Isometric & Isotonic

exercises you that you can't do on the Iso-K.

I already had the Steel Bow and some money to burn, so I decided to investigate

and evaluate the Iso-K product. Hey, it's a free country, and I don't regret my

purchase, but if I were starting from scratch and were buying a Bullworker type

Isometeric/Isotonic/Isokinetic exerciser for the first time, then I'd start with

the Steel Bow.

I have no financial interest in any Isokinator or Bullworker retailers,

manufacturers, or distributors.

Namaste,

Hi

I actually bought the Bullworker Package (Bullworker classic + Steelbow)approx 7

months ago and have been using them regularly since..

I also have the previous version of the classic...I also have two brown handled

Bullworkers...one of them i bought back in 1977....

Not new to Bullworker but getting reaquainted ;-)..

I love the new hand grips on ,s new Bullworkers, but im unable to do some of

the exercises on the classic due to the spring tension..I just use the brown

Bullworker for those ones...

I only exercise 20 minutes a day 4, days a week ...Gave up beer for a while eat

healthier food and lost 14 kilo,s in the process...

Thanks for your feedback...

PS...Think i might hold off on buying the Isokinator and check out s new

exerciser when its available...

Actually, I made the mistake of ordering the BullyXtreme last year August, but

never received it. Sent an email to ask about it, but never got a reply. Later I

found out from internet research, that I'm not the only customer to whom this

had happened, and that the company is not so reliable.

At first I was concerned that it might have had to do with custom procedures, as

this often delays delivery especially from USA. But after I read so many

complaints about BullyExtreme, I gave up waiting for it.

On the other hand, I ordered the Bow Extensions from through ebay

three months ago, at first did not receive them within 4 weeks, contacted him,

and immediately got a feedback that I can get a replacement. Fortunately, 3 days

or so later I finally got the box and saw, that the German customs had opened

it, thereby destroyed the address, and re-wrote the ZIP code in an incorrect

way, so that the package was going astray before it could be delivered.

Anyway, great customer service to offer me a replacement - thanks again,

!

I now plan to purchase the " real " bullworker, but I think I'll wait until 's

new product is out and then make my decision if I go for that one or for the

Bullworker Classic. Since I already do the chest compression with 85 kg on my

Isokinator, the resistance of the Steel-Bow seems too low for me. And for

traveling I have my Isokinator which fits even in the pocket of my pants.

TG,I agree with you that the Isokinator and SteelBow are both top quality products! You're right when you say that comparing them is like comparing a Bentley to a Mercedes (although Bentley is now owned by Volkswagen; Rolls Royce is owned by BMW, lol).And like you, I too was disappointed that my Isokinator didn't come with any kind of carrying bag or case. Really, you'd think at that price it would. Still, I was blown away by its superb construction, just as I am with ' products. They're built to last, and that really counts for a lot.I happened to have a sturdy little carrying case for some other exercise device I got years ago, and it was the perfect size for my

Isokinator, so that's what I'm using. I think it's great that you were able to find a pistol case on eBay for yours -- good thinking!Ro3nn (the 3 is silent) ;-)To: bullworkerclub Sent: Friday, October 14, 2011 10:58 AMSubject: Re: Isokinator Vs. Steel-Bow

IMHO Comparing the Isokinator to the SteelBow is like comparing Bentley to a Mercedes or Apples to Oranges. Of course Bentley is now owned by BMW. Go figure. Both are top quality products that are similar, but different.

I agree with you, I'd wait and see what 's new product(s) looks like.

You can still do pretty much Almost ALL the Iso-K exercises on the Steel-Bow anyway.

Check out The Iso-K PE Manual & Wall Chart that Ro3nn uploaded to our files section. I decrypted them so you can print them out!

Also check out Bert Muscledesign's Isokinator Youtubes. they can also be adapted to the Steel-Bow.
