A great product,
By Anthony Louis (USA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Classic - Full-size Bullworker & CASE (Misc.)
I ordered the Bow Classic a few weeks ago and I'm really enjoying it. I'm now 63 years old and was wanting something to use at home to do some basic exercises to improve muscle tone and strength. I was not particularly looking to increase muscle mass, just to be in better shape. This product is perfect for my purposes. Since I've been using it, I feel much better and the muscle tension I used to carry in my back and shoulders is gone. By the way, I don't look anything like the guy in their ad nor do I expect to.
The reviewer who complained that the Bow Classic is too long would probably have been happy with their shorter product, which I think is called the Steel Bow and which comes with adjustable springs. My son, who is shorter than me tried to use the Bow Classic and found it a little long for him (I'm 5'9" and he's 5'6'). As you can see, I'm a contented customer. If you are a shorter than average person, I would suggest reading the descriptions and comments on both this and the shorter product before making a purchase. I have only the Bow Classic and it's a quality piece of equipment at a very fair price.

It Works,
By Theo (Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Classic - Full-size Bullworker & CASE (Misc.)
I'll make this short and sweet: I bought one, I've used it, it works.
Bullworkers may have been something of a fad way back when. But a rare few fads do have real substance behind them, and this is one of them. Perhaps that's why the bullworker seems to be making a comeback. Bullworkers are probably not quite as effective as a traditional program of progressive resistance training lifting weights. But they're still pretty damn good. And they do have their own advantages, not the least of which are that they're both portable and convenient. Furthermore, many people with joint problems who find that they can no longer work out with weights report that this form of training is ideal for them. Another advantage of bullworkers seems to be that they practically last forever. I'm not speaking from personal experience here, but I have heard from people who claim to have working models that they've owned for literally 20 years. Finally, because bullworkers are normally used isometrically, a bullworker workout can be extraordinarily quick and still very effective. If the word "isometric" is a new one for you, you might like to check out my review of Max Contraction Training : The Scientifically Proven Program for Building Muscle Mass in Minimum Time, where I go into the pros and cons of this training method in much more detail. One last piece of advice: If you're serious about getting into this form of training, I strongly suggest you check out the Bullworker group on Yahoo!. There's a great deal of lively debate about the best models and training methods. When it comes to specific models, you might like to put some thought into whether you want to go with the Bow Classic (the product this review is written for) or the Steel-Bow Bullworker - Flex the Ultimate Total Home Gym includes 2 FREE DVDs. Of the models currently available, they're the two that I've generally heard the best things about. With respect to training methods, as a starting point simply be aware you don't have to just stick with the program that comes with the device any more than you would have to with a set of weights. It's entirely up to you to decide how far you want to explore this stuff, and which methods are right for you. Good luck with your training! Theo.

As remembered...,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Classic - Full-size Bullworker & CASE (Misc.)
The Bow Classic is the same sturdy product I remember owning in the late 70s (which was given to a buddy for rehab following his motorcycle accident). In fact, the current rendition provides the same great workout as the earlier model. I recommend the "Classic" for any couch potato fitness program. Buy new!
