Steel Bow 50cm - Portable Home Gym Equipment & Isometric Exercise Equipment for Arms, Chest, Back, Shoulders, Core, Biceps, Triceps, Abs - Strength Training Equipment

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.

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.

This is awesome ! I've completed 60 days of a 90 day challenge and I'm already leaner, fitter and better defined than I could have hoped. I've been doing three short HIIT runs a week too though. (15 mins each.) Highly recommended but look for routines other than that provided with the Bullworker. Changing your routines is key to good results and keeps you interested. You need to invest around 20 minutes of decent effort on average a day. This will not get you big but it will get you in shape. ***Update*** It has been a year since I started my Bullworker training. This will not get you big (for that you need a lot of time and a proper gym) but it WILL get you lean and mean. I've learned that resistance training and a more-protein/less sugar diet is key to weight loss - the Bullworker goes well with HIIT running (15mins every other day.) I've moved on to bodyweight training and barbells/dumbbells and I thank Bullworker for giving me the motivation and physical means to do it. I still use my ancient X5 and Steel Bow in my routines to finish off reps or to spot muscle groups that cannot be reached by other means. I also enjoy just having Bullworker days on their own. I am now fitter and more developed than I have ever been and feel fantastic ! Bullworker is no gimmick. It is a seriously useful addition to any gym and a great introduction to working out. I liken it to kindling when starting a fire. A little every day - just get in the habit, next thing you're getting addicted. Ditch pastries, biscuits, sugary stuff... you will be transformed inside and out. I'm finding it hard not to sound like a Bullworker representative but I am now a huge fan of the things. I even take mine on holiday with me ! Here are some other recommendations: Mark Lauren, You are Your Own Gym and Harry Wong Dynamic Strength (videos free on YouTube) Also a friction held (height adjustable) doorway chin-up bar later on. One thing. The 70% effort thing that the Bullworker people advise you to do is there to protect you from tendonitis in the elbows so don't over do it - form is far more important than weight/resistance.

I have a 1970's Bullworker bought used having originally had one in 1972. I liked the idea of this smaller one that would be easier to use sitting down. It is well made, easy to change springs and comes with a good quality, easy to follow manual. It is also supplied with a handy case. The spring it is fitted with by default is probably a good starting point for most people. It is about the equivalent of my 1970's one

Had one of the originals 50 years ago. I wanted to try and get a bit stronger again and thought of the Bullworker. I was a bit hesitant as to the size but it’s absolutely great, perfect for chest and shoulders which is my main concern. Really nice bit of kit the springs are easy to change and you get straight back into it. Seems a bit expensive but I remember paying £16 for my first one 50cyears ago,so it’s all relative. Really nicely made.

Having used a proper bullworker for many years, I got this for my wife. It is more of a cowworker that a bullworker, but my wife loves it. It is compact, easy to store and very well made. Instructions are clear. I much prefer the full sized version but this is also very good.

Well made . If no room for other equipment or you just need something more versatile then I would recommend bullworker to anybody.

Don't know had the red and black steel bow in 2018 felt a lot better then this one not sure if going to send back would of preferred the 1st one I had bought felt better made regret giving it away don't know why firms change things maybe use cheaper materials God knows

Having had an original bill worker I decided to buy a new steelbow this is a great quality product, there are plenty of workout routines on the bullworker YouTube channel to follow. I would highly recommend this product .

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.

Excellente présentation dans un magnifique étui en toile renforcée, très beau design. Dans cet étui, 2 ressorts pour un choix de forces adaptées. Un poster grande qualité et plein de conseils pour la pratique. Plus un livret très complet sur cartonnage couleurs et papier glacé. La grande classe à l'américaine ! Je m'entretien musculairement depuis de nombreuses années, ce matériel de petit format est très pratique. Je l'utilise chaque jour en complément du modele "classique" mon renforcement musculaire s'est développé d'une façon visible depuis 3 semaines. Je le recommande en tant qu'Osteopathe. Je le fait essayer à des patients ainsi qu'à des élèves ou j'enseigne, (je ne suis pas rémunéré par le fabricant !!!). A j'oubliai: j'ai 73 ans mais chut, personne ne le sait.

Un aparato muy interesante.Bien construido, compacto y de buena calidad.Sería perfecto, si trajera más de tres resistencias . El salto entre resistencias me parece excesivo, sobre todo entre la segunda y la tercera.

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.
