I bought a Bullworker when I was 20 years old from an ad I saw in a muscle magazine. I enthusiasticlly read the user manual front to back. Unfortuneatly, I only used it once or twice and it went into the closet.
When I turned around 40 I took it out of storage and started using it seriously. Definitely saw a difference in muscle tone and size but not bulky. I am 75 now and still using it with good success.I beleive it has helped me, along with taking key supplements, to stay in great health. I have the strength and stamina I had in my 20's and look more like 60.
Cool Mike. It was a great seeing you demonstrate all those variations, especially on a chair. It takes me right back to Atlanta in '74. I had a small apartment on the 9th floor of a converted hotel. The Bullworker was about perfect for the small space I had. I remember one exercise that had you jam one handle up into the corner of the door frame, then grab the other end of the tube and cables with a hammer grip, and press up. It was for shoulders, of course, and a little iffy because it could slip off the frame and turn into a ceiling punch. There was definitely a learning curve, as I distinctly remember hitting myself in the face(and other places) more than once. Thanks again!
I love it Martin. Not so much you getting hit in the face, but I love those classic stories of using these types of machines and equipment from back in the day.
I stopped using weights 2 years ago. I wanted a piece of equipment I could still use when I get older that wouldn't cause me to get injured when I get older.
I just happened to find a s2 by mistake. Using it toned my muscles great in the first 2 months of having it,and it didn't make me use a lot of energy,
whereas when I did weights for years, I would have low energy spikes throughout the day,along with the risk of getting injured if I kept using weights when I got old.
From watching the videos, it looked like there was a medium difference in smoothness and a low recoil.
For the S3 model
Thoughts before retrieving would work my muscles harder than the previous model, which I still have, which is the S2.
Using the S3 in person, the smoothness is a big difference from the medium. I thought it was looking at the video.
Even though I have been used to the black spring in the s2 since last year, in the s3, I have to get used to the first spring again and work my way up to the last one because the s3 works my muscles harder. I knew that before getting the S3, I would have to get used to all springs because my muscles would be worked with no limits.
The S3 not only has a small recoil, but as I said, the smoothness is a big difference from the S2.
I noticed that I can stop the spring at any distance and push from there, but with the S2, I can't because it has that bad recoil, so whatever point I stop at, I usually just push from there.
The feeling you can feel with each rep is that the muscles are being worked smoothly with a good amount of pressure, even when using the first spring.Each rep is fully controlled.Get the S3; it's amazing.
Just got my 36" Bullworker Classic, and I'm loving it. Thanks for the reviews. They helped seal the deal. The farmer strength thing you mentioned being something this device would be good for that you mentioned in your other review had me. That's exactly what I'm wanting out of it.
Happy the video was helpful. Just got my 25" and that's also pretty cool. I might be doing a view on that in the near future.
My Bullworker 3 . After 45 years the spring is now damage , in 3 pieces , did work verry well for me
Love this video, Thank you. I have to say that you showed me a better way to perform behind the head seated lat pulls not shown in their manual as well as a few other improv moves. 💪💪👍
Mike as always a great follow up review. I have every Bullworker product. I also noticed that on the steebow the rubber grips do not hold on the cable as well as the classic. They are loose. The grips and cables look to be the same size. There must be something different between the two. I know they released the 60th anniversary version of the old X5 model. This is the sweet spot being 28 inches long it is right in between the two sizes. The other big difference is the X5 uses two webbed straps on either side, unlike the steel cables on the classic and steelbow. The mechanics are also different how they are connected to the tubes. With the straps on the X5 it gives more range of motion, travel and also variable resistance. If you hold one strap on each side, you have less resistance and more travel. If you hold both straps more resistance and less travel. The original X5 had a non-removable spring and came in two different power levels if I recall correctly. The new X5 has the changeable springs, which will bring it to a new level. Chrisman did two videos on this new mode. It is also a limited run of 100 units and it is, made in AMERICA. Hence the price of $500.00. My guess is they did not invest in a new design of this complexity to make this limited addition only model. My guess is we will see a mainstream version for a lower price in the very near future. I would love to get my hands on one of these to see if it is the holy grail of the Bullworkers. Mike maybe Chrisman can loan you one for a review.
Thanks Vinny for the very informative comment. I did see that video preview of the X5. It looks awesome. And you’re right, it looks like the ideal sweet spot among the models. I especially like the ability to increase the range of motion with the dual single strings. that would be awesome if I could check it out and review it.
The mainstream version came out today!
Just saw that and it says made in the U.S.A.@@elfury7678
I bought the 36" model just the other day. It will be arriving this Sunday but I already plan on returning it back to Amazon. I just found out about the 28" model today by chance. And from what you said about it convinces me even more that this is the one best suited for me. They aren't cheap so I really only want one. Thanks for posting your comment! Very informative.
I remember your original review of the product and initially not being very impressed with the device, but you mentioned using outside your gym and just having it out and available to quickly pick up and use. That alone made me look a bit deeper into the device, and I ended up buying one. I quickly fell in love with the device and have since purchased both versions as well as the Iso-Flow and Iso-bow. I love their simplicity and versatility. They are great to use when traveling also.
Thanks Andrew, awesome points. I was going to get into that in more detail in the video, but for the sake of time I didn’t. In my initial review I mentioned how I was trying to chase the pump so to speak by doing some faster reps. I personally get a lot more benefit out of it now that I go at slower tempo and use it outside of my designated training times. but I agree it’s definitely an incredibly versatile compact little device.
Wow, I forgot about Bullworker! I saved up for weeks to buy my first Bullworker in 1977. $30 was alot of money for a 16 y.o. Lol. I let it go in a garage sale a few years later. Should have kept it. Great review as usual Mike!
U can still buy these don't know why u said u should've kept it as if u can't
@scotchbudmeister9018 - I did the same exact thing about 1973 when I was 16 years old. Seems mine cost closer to $40 with shipping, which was indeed a lot of money for a kid back then.
I had a bullworker back in the 80s-90s, pretty good
I got the impression from youre first review you dint care for it. Glad youre liking it i like mine alot
Thanks Mike happy you enjoyed it. I was going to get into that more detail, but it has definitely grown on me and been one of my key pieces of equipment that I play around with weekly.
I have got 2 bow basic, an old model and the new one. I use them only for isometrics, everyday. I think that is very versatile and useful tool
They are both good, but different. Like Chrisman said think of the classic as the barbell and the steel bow as the dumbbells. I agree with you Mike, that the smaller steelbow with the shorter spring gets harder faster. The steelbow is good for people with shorter arms and young adults. If I had to have only one I guess I would go with the classic. You can do more with it.
Just bought a 3rd one today. 28" version.
Did you get that limited edition X5?!
@@hybridresistance Yes. Was able to pay off over a couple of months, no interest. Others i wouldn't have done it.
A few more months and it will come out in the regular edition too. Like the Steel & Classic.
Awesome! Bullworker!!!
Love my bullworker wish I could get the newer models I like the aluminum look
Why can't u
Like others, your initial review was not perceived as overall positive. You mentioned that you used the device while chasing a pump. I get and understand that point of view, yet the device can be much more. I too, initially just had it laying around for occasional use. However, during the lockdowns I purchased a second, newer model (with interchangeable springs), then started to focus on the bow classic workouts and challenges that Chrisman Huges has posted on the Bullworker RUclips channel. From there, I purchased a couple of books (programs) authored by Marlon Birch. It is this programming by Marlon Birch that opened up the overall effectiveness of the Bullworker Classic for me. When you purchase the books, you are buying the programming. I believe that is a very useful complement to the Bullworker. For some, it is the only too that they utilize. For others, it is just another tool in the toolbox. I now utilize it as another tool to complement my sliding bench (Bayou Fitness), and my dumbbells. and last week used one of Chrisman's follow along workouts from His Stronger series playlist. I can now fully appreciate this tool and reap its benefits. And recommend it's use to many home gym enthusiasts.
Thanks for the informative comment my friend. Chrisman actually did send me the book as well (I forget the name though off hand). It was definitely interesting, but I can't say I'd stick to a stand along bull worker program.
I swear, around the 1:15 mark I thought to myself "I am going to come up with a funny comment about the process of him walking into the woods with a folding chair, a camera, and some unconventional gym equipment" and then @1:20 happened and I felt like I had just been called out...
Haha, I was laughing at myself while doing it. Thumbnail was almost just a folding chair. Appreciate you watching brother, this had to be way past your bedtime in your time zone.
@@hybridresistance I woke up at 4am for some hill sprints. I've been working on some different physique goals, recently 🤫
I really like my Bullworkers but still use my Power block dumbbells with bands with bodyweight as part of Hybrid calisthenics regimen.
Great video, been curious about these for a while now but never owned one. I am wondering... would my vector grips fit over the cables?
Great question. I haven’t tried it, but I am pretty sure they would
Thanks Mike, I own the smaller BW, but I really like it. Question…do you do any macebell training? If so could you demonstrate some different exercises? Thanks Mike
I never owned a regular mace bar, but I did own a makeshift one that I made from the hardware store. Coincidentally, I’m about ready to go inside one, so I might just go pick one up and make that video for you.
I have a question for you regarding the comparison of the Iso Flow and the T2 Iso Trainer, which one do you prefer? Personally I noticed the gyro mechanism on the T2 Iso Trainer doesn't really seem to have the effect they talk about.
I actually got a video on that here ruclips.net/video/_lncXWFw_Ww/видео.html but I agree, I'm more partial to an iso flow
Do you feel the archer pull activates a lot of back muscles enough to replace a lot of cable exercises? I feel the archer pull is underrated
It's not bad but honestly not a replacement for a cable machine in my opinion.
Curious if the unit can work for an hold on the smaller one while doing pull a part and trying to hit an around the world move while standing going from side to side?
I think the pull apart is limited, but I'm not sure about that around the world one.
You should deff do video on the Iso Flo :)
Here's an older one ruclips.net/video/2Tfp23f4KvA/видео.html
Update! I just received my X5 Pro and I absolutely love it!
would you recommend the bullworker over the total gym for senior citizens?
Really depends on your overall goals, ability, and interests. But all things considered a total gym is a more versible piece of equipment.
@outtrigger - I have both the 'Total Gym' and the 'Bowflex Classic'. I love and use them both. I am a 66-year-old senior with joint and back issues. As such either one is great. However, if you have room for the 'Total Gym' It would be my first choice. As Mike mentioned it is very versatile.
I remember these from the 80s.
Bullworker 👍 total Gym 👍. Have you ever tried the Bodyblade?
I have tried them in years past when I was at a gym. I don't dislike them, just not something I'd use that often.
@@hybridresistance 2010, rehabing from shoulders surgery. Still have it and use it intermittently. Over the years a lot of my fitness/exercise has evolved around rehab. If a part can be strained, torn, dislocated, or broken there’s a good chance I’ve done it.
Wow, I am First. 😅😅
I remember getting a Bullworker in 1973/74 as a pre teen, to build muscle and impress the girls, never did work ....lol. The basic design looks to be the same 50 years later, hard to believe.
It didn't work cause u didn't do reps those tone great holding is only for building strength and some toning
And no the basic model isn't the same it's way less recoil and way smoother
@oldmanmopar5380 - Oh yes, they do work. Back in the 70's I found most younger guys became discouraged and gave up too soon because of the excessive resistance from having only one spring. They lost interest fast and the Bowflex ended up in the closet unfortunately. Try one of the new 'Bowflex Classics' with the 5 springs in resistance from light to heavy to choose from. I think you'll really like it.
My first one of these will the re-introduced X5, it seems to be more versatile.
It's not
I had one when i was 14
Back in 1978, then i joined a gym at 15, it went to a goodwill donation , i dont think much of that product.
What you think doesn't matter lots of people in the group use it me to
Best for at home
Toning of muscles
Let me guess...$19.99 on TV?😅
more like $199.99 for the long one! phew!
I got my x5 bullworker from a charity shop.... for £5 ! hahha!
Cheapest I found is $250 for that piece of equipment not worth it to me
where did u get that lie from
I had a Bullworker years ago. A well made product but a waste of money. It's the typical equipment that's used for awhile and eventually finds a closet.
A waste how multiple people on the group use it so how is it a waste stop trolling saying lies
I use both of these same models every week liar
@@cmoneytheman First of all let me educate you on a lie. If I used the Bullworker all the time and really liked it my comment would be a lie. I bought one years ago and used it for awhile. I got bored with it and eventually gave it away. If you or others love it and find it provides a great workout, all power to you. You should appreciate my honesty rather than being a jerk about it. There are lots of product reviews that are bogus.
@@eddinep6535 I said lots of people in the group like it, so what are you talking about reviews for,learn how to read liar
