Bullworker Steel Bow 50 cm - Isometric Exercise Equipment, Portable At Home Gym Equipment for Back, Shoulder, Biceps, Triceps, Abs, Chest and Arms, Home Workout Exerciser for Men & Women, 0-130lbs

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.

Well constructed. However I really wanted the bullworker classic which is longer that this bow model. Do not get mixed up between the The Bow (smaller model in length) and The Classic (original longer model) It was the classic that I had when I was in my teens and 20s. I had two. Sold the first one and then got the buffalo model with flat ribbon and no wires. Do not see that model here as it must be discontinued. Although I've seen it on eBay as used. I've commenced using the bow week 1. I changed the spring to the hardest one and it is mighty hard to push. It comes with 3 springs and you can choose which you prefer. This bullworker is compact, and handy for traveling if you move around a lot and miss getting to the gym, throw it in your hand luggage and your sorted. I guess that is the best part of the bow, is it's compact size and ease of transportation. If you only want home use go for the classic unless you have short arms. The bow might also suit average size females better. I love the quality and it looks and feels great. I am enjoying the simplest of routine that is daily and only takes up five minutes of my day. It will build and maintain your muscles. It really works as I know from my youth. I was always getting beaten at school by one larger boy hands down on arm wrestling. That was until I got hold of my secret weapon and trained for weeks on it. Many weeks later I challenged him again, (inside I was trembling with fear, age 15) He just laughed and said what's the point 😂 I begged him to play me. We set the time and the rest is history 😂 He never asked me again and gave me more respect at school. He was in shock and so was his mates. Top 🐕 dog got beat by the class wimp📣📣📣 I never looked back after that day. Bullworker works 100#% if you apply the program.

Seems well constructed and sturdy , 5 year warranty. So far very pleased , good book and carry case included.

well build decent enough bit of kit.comes with carry bag and a pair of instruction posters.I dont think this would do as a standalone bit of equipment as its too small to use for all the exercises.I use a bullworker X5 which is great and has twin straps for more variety of exercise.the steel bow is fine for about 10 of the exercises and gives the workout a bit of variety.good bit of kit to compliment the larger bullworkers.

Being the owner of the X5 Bullworker, which I purchased after being the owner of the first Bullwork that ever came on the market many moons ago. I can honestly recommend this Bullworker especially as it is small enough to throw in the Kit bag and take away with you if you work away.

The spring aren’t sturdy enough yellow spring broke in three places in the first week of buying Bullworker.Got 12 months guaranteed have contract them but no replacement.

Bought one of these for lockdown. I thought it would be a gimmick but would get me through the months while the gym reopened. Forget the gym, this is incredible. What a fantastic piece of equipment - and so easy to use - with only 60%-80% of ones strength. I'm 9 weeks into this, takes about 40 mins to work out (2 sets) and the results are staggering. Shoulders, arms and chest development speak volumes. When I read that its twice as effective as weight lifting, I thought 'yeah right'. Now I believe it. I fully recommend this excellent work out apparatus.

It's very good comes in a carry case.you can change the springs as you progress.it starts of with blue level 1 20lbs,yellow 40 lbs,grey 60 lbs,black 80 lbs and red 100lbs.also you get a handy book shows you what exercises you can do.its good for teenagers,adults n elderly.very pleased with it good value for money.thanks to amazon for dropping it off,very polite man.
