BEST DEAL FOR YOUR MONEY, GREAT FOR WOMEN
I’ve looked around and this package is the best deal for your money. I don’t know how Amazon did it, but you can’t order this package off the Bullworker site ( as of this writing). Everything is sold separately. With this package, you get the bow, 3 workout charts (worth $12 each), the eso ($9.95), the bow extender ($19.95) and two dvds ( $19.99 & $12.99). While there is no super saver on the shipping, Amazon’s shipping is about $5 cheaper. So you are saving $103.88 with this package. You also get a great bag to fit everything into that you can sling over your shoulder or put into a suitcase. The steel bow is made quite well.I’ve never owned a Bullworker. I’m not a hard core weight lifter. I am hoping to use this so I can skip the gym. I want to tone up and build some muscle without bulking up. I haven’t been able to locate any reviews by women. Some men have mentioned that their wives and daughters also liked it. If there are women who are using it, I sure would like to hear from you on what you are doing.From all the reviews I’ve read on various sites, this seems to be very effective at doing what I want and more. I must confess I’m a bit skeptical because I don’t see how this small device can deliver so much. However, the BW has been around for 30 years, so I decided to order it, as its longevity speaks volumes. I haven’t used it yet, but will do an update. I wanted to let readers know what a great deal it is and would recommend it, if they are in the market for a Bullworker for a holiday gift, for someone else or themselves.Stay-tuned….Update: This little device is NOT going to the thrift shop. I don’t like lifting weights; too many sets, too much time, uncomfortable positions. The BW eliminates all of this and really tones your arms, shoulders and chest FAST. I’m talking about 3 times a week, a half dozen moves, done 4 times each. Not 4 sets, 4 moves. I decided not to take measurements, just do it. The BW has a gauge on it and I could barely move it in some of the exercises. I now get my motivation from seeing the gauge move higher and higher and looking in the mirror. There are 2 DVDS, one is done sitting, the other is standing.I don’t like squats and lunges, and so I prefer the sitting DVD, which is quite a workout for 1/2 hr. My legs easily bulk out and I’m not saying the BW bulks out your legs, I just prefer doing Callenatics because it works. Lastly, I don’t like situps, planks or leg lifts. If you haven’t figured it out, I know what I like and what I don’t. I want things that work and that I like doing.Well, I really like the ab exercises with this device. Not hard on your neck or back, nor uncomfortable or awkward positions. There are numerous exercises, 3 different ways of performing them, and 3 springs to increase resistance, so you won’t get bored. But, I don’t think I’ll ever get bored with it. I’m so happy with how my upper body is looking with so little effort, and each time I do it, it gets better.Second update: I am smitten with this device. I continue to use it and my shoulders, arms and chest continue to take shape. I use it every other day, maybe for 10 minutes, often while watching tv. I really got a wonderful surprise when I took a yoga class. I discovered that I had developed a lot of strength in my arms and shoulders and was able to do poses I couldn’t do in the past. I’m really happy about this development and now I’m enjoying yoga 3 times a week.

Everything it says it is and more!
I gave my first Bullworker (purchased in 1973!!) to my son a few years ago, and occasionally wished I had it back. I recently realized that I was becoming less and less able to perform some physical activities. so I decided to purchase another. After watching several videos and reading reviews, I settled on the Steel Bow Classic model as it seemed to be more applicable to what I wanted to do. I also did exhaustive research on isometric exercise.I had come to believe some of the negative press on Isometrics, but came to learn that almost all the negative research on isometrics was either flawed or simply non-existent. Latest serious research, however, is unanimous; isometric exercise is the most effective exercise for beginners, those at an intermediate-level of fitness and seniors who are looking for something simple and fast that will help them dramatically improve their fitness level. Fact is, isometric exercise, when used with proper breathing techniques, has been found to reduce blood-pressure while increasing strength, cardio-vascular health and overall fitness levels almost twice as fast as isotonic and aerobic exercise while greatly reducing stress on bones, joints and tendons. Isometrics also makes it easier to maintain a level of fitness once attained.From there, the decision to actually purchase the Steel Bow was easy. I received the equipment on the date promised and was extremely pleased with what I found when I opened the box. The Steel Bow absolutely oozes quality. Over the years I have owned several different pieces of exercise equipment, some costing 20 times more that the Steel Bow, and none of those products showed the level of fit and finish shown by the Bullworker. The Bullworker I gave to my son is now 46 years old and going strong; it’s easy to see that this Steel Bow is built to a higher standard of production and assembly. I was off to a good start. Attention to detail is evident in every aspect of the equipment. There are two additional, higher resistance springs included, there is a spiral bound, heavy card-stock, glossy book with dozens of exercises orgainzed by the area, a likewise high-quality wall chart for easy reference while doing a workout, and a super high quality case has a special pocket for the different springs. There is even a non-slip rubber pad to prevent slippage when an exercise calls for resting one of the handles on the floor or on one’s knee.As for the exercises? Well, I have only just begun, but after the FIRST DAY of running through some of the basic exercises that I remember from years ago, I am confident that anyone who tries the Steel Bowl and uses it AS DIRECTED will notice exactly what I noticed; an almost immediate sense of increased strength and power. I’m on my third day now, and I can tell you that it is no illusion. The Steel Bow by Bullworker is specifically designed for isometrics, and isometrics is probably the single best mode of exercise for most everyone who will do it as per directed.P.S. It is important to note, isometric exercises typically consist of one to three compression or extension exercises that are then HELD STATIC for a period of 7 to 10 seconds. After years of lifting weights and doing calisthenics, it is hard to believe, without actually trying it, that isometric exercise as described can have a GREATER impact on your strength and fitness than either weights or calisthenics, but it can and WILL, if you commit to the program.Yours, for better health!!Michael Schmidtman

A great bang for the buck!
The bullworker steel bowl surpassed my expectations. I am 55 years old and I have rotator cuff problems resulting from all of my previous years as an athlete. The bull worker is perfect for me. With the bull worker, one dumbbell, and an ab- roller, I can get a very satisfying and complete work out in less than 30 minutes. I can do curls, triceps extension, chest exercises, shoulder exercises, without injury. Best of all, I do not have to go to a gym and I only spent $69 for a tool that will last a life- time. The bull worker steel bowl is durable, practical, and effective.

I have used Bullworkers on & off for the last 40+ years. For the past 16 years I have been using a Bullworker clone (“Powerworker”), after my Bullworker X5 was destroyed in a flood. I have found that the Bullworker is an effective muscle building device, but it is primarily useful for developing your upper body & not that good for leg exercises.My Powerworker is 4cm shorter than the current”Bullworker Bow Classic”, which is 91cm long, but even at this shorter length I was getting tendonitis in my elbows when doing compression exercises (pushing the handles together). I am just over 6 feet tall & I have quite long arms for my height, so if I am having problems, shorter people will suffer more. The “Bullworker Steel Bow” at only 51cm in length is ideal for compression exercises & I have been able to do exercises that I have never been able to do with my previous Bullworkers due to their excessive length. However, there is a small compromise when doing pulling exercises involving the cables, as there is a smaller range of movement due to the cables being shorter.Ideally, you would have both the Steel Bow (for compression exercises) & either the Bow Basic, or Bow Classic for the pulling (cable) exercises, but the Steel Bow is the best compromise if you don’t want the extra expense of a second Bullworker.I bought the Steel Bow for £169.99 & at this price it represents reasonable value for money, compared to other portable exercise devices. Bear in mind that each of the 5 springs it comes with cost £20 as individual replacements on the Bullworker website & even a set of the rubber cable grips cost £20, so that is £120 of the total price accounted for already.The Steel Bow seems to be well made & is very smooth in use compared to any other Bullworker I have previously used. The ability to be able to swap springs is a very useful feature & is quite quick & easy to do. Certainly less work is involved than in swapping weights on a dumbbell, or barbell. I am probably a bit stronger than average & I have found that the 3 least powerful springs are sufficient for my training needs at present, though if I used the Steel Bow for leg exercises, I would have to utilise one or other of the two stronger springs.I did also consider the Bullworker basic at £129.99, which at 71cm in length might have made it suitable for the compression exercises, but it has one fixed spring & doesn’t even come with cable grips. Once you have experienced Bullworker cable grips, you can never go back to using bare Bullworker cables! In fact I had to buy a set of grips for my Powerworker, as I still use this for the majority of the cable/ pulling exercises.

Auch wenn es bei den vielen lächerlichen Marketing Promotion Videos, welche der Hersteller im Internet publiziert, kaum vorstellbar ist, das Produkt, welches es seit Jahrzehnten gibt, ist tatsächlich von herausragender Qualität und man kann damit bei Einhalten des isometrischen Trainingsplans wirklich mit recht geringem Zeitaufwand (20 Minuten am Tag) erhebliche Zuwächse im Maximalkraftbereich erzielen. Habe es selbst über mehrere Monate ausprobiert und kann die vielen positiven Geschichten, die man dazu im Internet von Usern lesen kann, nur objektiv bestätigen. Erwähnenswert ist allerdings, dass der Bullworker schwerpunktmäßig eher für ein Maximalkrafttraining und nicht für ein klassisches Massetraining, wie es die meisten Fitnessstudiobesucher versuchen durchzuführen, geeignet ist. Dies deshalb, weil man mit dem Gerät isometrisch, durch Halten des Widerstandes super trainieren kann, aber nicht dynamisch über einen größeren Bewegungsumfang. Dafür wurde es aber auch nicht gebaut. Überdies sind alle Beinübungen als auch ein Teil der Bauchübungen eher komisch vom Bewegungsablauf auszuführen, ich erspare mir diese deshalb. Sehr gut geeignete Muskelgruppen sind hingegen Brust, Rücken, Schultern und Arme ….Ich besitze sowohl den großen als auch den kleinen Bullworker und präferiere klar die kleinere Variante. Im Zweifelsfall lohnt es sich sogar den Steelbow zweimal anzuschaffen, um nicht zu viel Zeit durch das Wechseln der Federn zu verlieren, da man selten alle Übungen mit der gleichen Feder bewältigen kann. Der Preis ist sehr stolz, ich gehe aber davon aus, dass das Gerät die nächsten 20 Jahre kaum Verschleiß hat, so dass sich das dann rechnet. Ich habe nach einem halben Jahr täglichen Intensiveinsatz auf jeden Fall nicht merken können, dass die Federn schwächer werden oder ähnliches. Ist deshalb auf jeden Fall eine klare Kaufempfehlung als Ergänzung zum Fitnessstudio oder auch einfach für Personen, die mit bescheidenem Aufwand dem Kraftabbau, den man sonst ab dem 30ten Lebensjahr ausgesetzt ist, entgegenwirken wollen.

I have owned an original Bullworker for about 50 years and it’s still functioning properly. It is portable, but I was looking for something even more compact and versatile, and saw the Steel Bow with interchangeable springs on Amazon.This new device is greatly improved with more comfortable grips and handles on the cables. The gauge is now on the tube instead of a plastic strip that could break off.The biggest improvement is the quickly interchangeable springs. These let you start at an easier level and work up to a very difficult push, pull, or lift with the heaviest spring.Mine came with a nice carrying bag and a spiral bound book with a 90 day transformation program.I started the 90 day challenge on January 1st, 2020 and as of today, March 4, 2020 I have lost 3 pounds of fat, my waist has shrunk, and yet my arm muscles are bigger and much better defined. There are some great exercises for all parts of the body and my legs are stronger and my six pack is now showing again. My goal is to get stronger and leaner which should help me be faster in my Masters Middle Distance races.The 90 Challenge and the great support from the Bullworker team and the community of users has really increased my motivation to use this device to its fullest capability. No exercise device will work if you don’t use it properly and consistently. This device, and the people behind it, will get you started and keep you going on a very effective fitness path.
