After four decades, this retiree still loves and uses his Bullworker X5. You always see results using isometrics and there's very little chance of injury. #bullworker
Nice video. Those old X5 BW's actually have two springs inside. One on each end. I've taken all three of mine apart and cleaned everything and use spray dry lube on the springs.
I didn’t know you could take them apart! I’m going to see if I can figure it out because both of mine have developed an annoying squeak. Appreciate any suggestions!
@@weekendwanderer5514 It's easiest if you have two people but you can do it by yourself if you are fairly strong. Place one end on something hard like a coffee table. I use one of those rubber discs that BW sells and that comes with some of their products to put the BW on. Grab the chrome part of the device and pull down as far as you can until there is slack in the straps. Keeping the tube pulled down, pull the black handle up and off of the chrome tube. Once you get it off, you can pull the chrome tube out of the bottom handle and then pull out all of the insides from both sides. Let me know how it goes.
Really liked your video a lot. I'm a few years younger than you and never used a Bullworker when I was in my teens/early twenties. I have been using a combination of a regular Bullworker, Bullworker X5, chest expanders and power twisters for months now. These old school pieces of equipment all work well separately and in different combinations for both isometric and isotonic exercises. I am experiencing a big increase in my upper body strength and muscle mass. Hope you will do more with the Bullworker and maybe the others as well in the future. 👍👍
Thank you my friend. I too have multiple Bullworkers and still believe that they are highly underappreciated. I plan on doing more of this type of video in the future and hope you’re able to tune in. Love your channel name, lol.
I just subscribed and will definitely be looking forward to checking out your channel. Yes, my channel name sums up how I feel some days. I'm the nicest grouch you'll ever meet.🤓
I like your video. I purchased my first Bullworker around the same time, initially starting with the original version and then the X5. I sold it as I was a little frustrated with the straps pulling out of sync. Anyway, 2 years ago I bought the Bow Basic and ISO Bow and have got back into this form of exercise, combined with body weight training.
I didn’t get into it in the video but I’ve got just about every one of their products. The ISO Bow especially is amazing for what it is. Thanks for watching and commenting!

@@weekendwanderer5514 You are welcome.
I didn't know the difference between isometric & isotonic until now.👍
Isometrics are having a resurgence. I love doing them.
@@wandereraudio5756yup me too , I only light dumbbells for biceps - all the rest is isometric work .

@@retirementreboot yes, the ISO Bow is surprisingly effective. Thanks.
