Hi. As an owner of this book i can second everything you've said in your appraisal. I found it interesting to re-learn alot of it's contents from knowledge i'd learned (and forgotten) decades ago.
Abit about me, i'm 63 now and was wanting to get my fitness back and was searching for ways to do so when i came across your channel. Through watching your Bullworker videos, the light in my head came on ! Fond memories of been given a second hand Bullworker back in the mid 70's and then buying an X5 in the mid 80's. I believe they do work very well if you stick to the program.
Then life as usual got in the way, and over several house moves, i lost them. So fast forward 40 years and here i am.
From watching your videos, I decided to treat myself to an early xmas present and bought the new Bullworker classic 36" and very impressed with the workmanship i am too. Much better than i remember and it is a joy to use and very smooth in operation. I especially like being able to alter the resistance via the spring changes. I'm sure this will last me my lifetime.
I'm following your Full body workout part 1 video and thoroughly enjoying it and after only a week or so i'm noticing and feeling a difference. I find your video concise, straight forward and easy to follow.
So please keep the videos coming they are very helpful.
And i'd be interested to watch your review and get your thoughts of the "companion book" - The Bullworker 90 day course if you buy it. And do a vid of your favourite exercises from the book.
Anyway, sorry for rambling on.
All the best and kind regards.

I may try those books you mentioned, hopefully they won't be left out in the rain this time!
I bought this book some time ago but ended up giving it away to another bullworker owner. Apart from some useful information in there, it seemed to be padded out with a lot of stuff just to make the book bigger.
I own the new classic and the steel bow. After completing the 90 day course, I bought Marlon Birch's bullworker books. The workouts appear to be extremely hard, but once you get into them they're enjoyable and give a good workout that changes every few weeks. BTW I'm 59 and suffered a heart attack one year ago. So if I can do it, I'm sure anyone can.
He has a few books, do you have them all?
@@LivingWellTV I own all 8 of his bullworker books now. I'm currently on the second one at the moment, but I was so impressed with the first one I bought the lot.
Workouts normally take an average of 45 minutes. Some are only 30 minutes though. Training is usually 5 or 6 days per week. Although I work full time, I can easily fit it in.
Not for beginners though and I would recommend being able to change the spring to lower the rate of resistance. Some of the workouts consist of high reps and long isometric holds.
I appreciate your comment. I am 53 years old. Although I didn't suffer a heart attack (thanks to my Fitbit I was able to recognize something wasn't right and caught a very serious situation before anything happened) I did have open heart surgery. I just discovered Bullworker and trying to figure out the best way to start. I bought one of Marlon Biron's books but the comments of them being too tough for beginners has dissuaded me from actually reading it. You've convinced me to just start the 90 course and then go from their but hearing your particular story has been an intense encouragement. Thank you!
I agree with everything said...they do have an omnibus version which includes workouts. Frankly if you prefer the x5, the original x5 workout book is still the best along with the x5 chart- otherwise, the Marlon Birch books are great.
You have experience in cardiac rehab. Question: Is isometric exercise safe for someone who has had a history of sudden death cardiac arrest? My cardiologist doesn't seem to know. He suggests walking but that won't do much for maintaining muscle mass or put on muscle! I currently have and ejection fraction of 50-55%.
I'm not as educated as a cardiologist but Isometrics is something I wouldn't recommend. Looped resistance bands would be a better alternative. Never hold your breath when using them and ensure you are performing moderate cardio, 30 minutes, 5 days a week. How's your blood pressure. Is it ok or are you on any BP lowering meds?
@@LivingWellTV My blood pressure is good with meds. On various heart medicines and blood thinners. So isometrics not recommended. So concentric/eccentric reps with resistance bands would be a better alternative? Isobow doing those reps without isometric holds, maybe?
Your main objective is to keep your blood moving. Ideally, you should use the resistance bands in a circuit, moving from one exercise to another rather than doing 3 sets of 10 of the same exercise. For example, 1 set of chest press, 1 set of rows, 1 set of face pulls, 1 set of biceps curls, 1 set of triceps extensions, 1 set of squats, then repeat 2 or 3 times. However, it's fine to do just 1 round if you are just starting out. It's also important to perform at least a 10 minute warm up and 10 minute cool down. The cooldown helps limit any post exercise hypotension. I would also recommend not to go to failure when performing each exercise. I would avoid the Isobow.
Also be aware that some BP lowering meds have some contraindications to exercise. Beta Blockers lower heart rate, Ace Inhibitors can increase exercise tolerance which may lead to pushing yourself too hard.
Do you use a GTN for angina? If you do, it's best to use it before exercise.
Lastly, please check with your cardiologist as he/she has a lot more information on your condition than I do.
@@LivingWellTV You are a gem. Thank you so much for your time and advice. Owning a bullworker, isoflow, and isobow (and having disposed my elastic chords a few years ago) I feel disappointed but realize I must do what is realistic. My emergency heart cath showed I was clear. My "electric circuitry" went foul. Afib and Vtach. Died suddenly but was brought back (after CPR failure) with the paddles. Now have pacemaker/defib. I know...too much information! I am happy to stumble upon you using a RUclips search on bullworker. I am now subscribed to your channel. Thanks again.
Haven’t got the book, and to be honest haven’t got a Bull Worker (or Bull Walloper as my old friend’s dad called it) but as I am approaching 60 is it worth an investment?
I was in the same position so rather than buy a new model, I bought a used Bullworker X5 for £25.00 so I could try it out. to see if I liked it.
I bought a Bullworker again at age 58, if that helps…
@@Sherlock2022 thank you for the reply, do you get any results?
@@samarthur1847 yes, I think so. I can’t quantify it in terms of inches, but I feel fitter. There seems to be a psychological benefit too.
@@Sherlock2022 thanks, I may invest
I feel it does work the chest, it's just a fly type. You can feel pecs
Try that with the ISO 7X
