Bullworker

**Thuganomics Dr.** · 09-30-2004, 12:54 PM

A few years ago I brought a bullworker, used it about twice and then forgot about it.

I was cleaning out the other day and I found it again, and I had a quick go on it, and liked using it.

However I lost the exercise book so I went on the internet to find some exercise guides for it.

I went on the official website, and it gave me a list of seven isometric exercises to try out, saying that I needed to do each exercise for just seven seconds, and that would be enough.

Surely that can't be right though, it says that a 49 second workout will be sufficient enough.

So what I wanna know is does anybody else use the bullworker and if so how do they go about using it, do they use it isometrically and hold each exercise for seven seconds, or do they do repititions for each exercise.

Any feedback will be greatly appreciated.

Are you kidding ?

That was one of the web pages I looked at.

I take it that this is a waste of time.

Resistance is resistance

Not much you can do with that thing in terms of variety though.

Couldn't they come up with a better name than the Bullworker?

Hey I used to own a bullworker when i was a kid got a good workout from it.

Since I travel alot I need something portable, can't take dumbells with you. Something under $100 bucks.

I ran across this web page billed as the "strongest bullworker" any one own one. Please don't trash talk it if you don't own it. I want a "real" opinion.

"The fact is your muscles don't have eyes, they can't see if you're lifting a 30 lb dumbbell, brick, tree stump or using 30 lbs of Bully Xtreme resistance."

My brain just exploded.

You dont have to own one to see that that page, and whatever he's selling, is BS.

If you travel a lot and cant get to gyms or whatever, youd be better off spending NO money and just doing bodyweight exercises, circuit training, plyometrics, and sprints as your workouts....rather than spending any money on the shitty miracles these people are peddling.

I don't see how that statement is wrong.

It's totally true. I would rather use hotel gyms if I traveled a lot. They generally have dumbbells up to like 50 pounds, various machines, and some treadmills or whatever, which is enough for some exercise. Bodyweight stuff is great too. I don't have any experience with that other product though, it could be useful in those situations.

I bought one of those many years ago. Piece of crap. Mine is sitting in a landfill somewhere.

Let this thread die.

So what you are saying is that you would do bodyweight exercises rather than use an exercise device that will provide progressive resistance??

How long have you trained for??

Progressive resistance is one of the critical components to muscle growth bodyweight exercises alone do not provide this element, long term???

Thats a fact my friend. If you are traveling using resistance bands, a bully xtreme or any exercise device that will allow for progressive reistance is much better than bodyweight exercises.

All you need is to maintain. You don't think you can maintain your strength with handstand or one-armed pushups on pulling movements? Chinups and body rows aren't good enough? One legged squats? If we're talking only missing a couple of sessions in the gym I think that would be fine. Plus, as I said, there are usually gyms in hotels that provide some reasonably weighted dumbbells.
