Bullworker product review
Letter From John Hughes, Hughes Marketing, USA National Distributor
The New Bullworker Gold
The older unit, which had two tubes and cables, was the model most of us were familiar with. I dug mine out of the closet because after 30 years, it still was the easiest method to build muscles I have ever tried and as a former Division I wrestler, I have tried many methods for building muscle. I was unable to find my instruction chart, which sent me on a global odyssey of who made it, where, when and what is the status today (1998). As it turned out, the Licensor was looking for a North American Distributor and I felt I was in the right place at the right time. After almost a 15-year absence in the states, I felt the product was ripe for re-introduction.
When they sent me the new model (since 1980) my first response was they had cheapened it. The weight was gone, the handles were not as contoured, the nylon straps looked wimpy. I had been using the old model for about 10 months and I thought what the heck, it shows 60% more exercises, I'll at least give it a trial run. I followed all the instructions faithfully and never broke a sweat. I at least broke a sweat with the old one. It was impressive that the nylon straps gave you 3 different degrees of resistance and the long handles allowed one to compress with the elbows in, but as I mentioned, I did not even sweat working out. I was very disappointed... until the next morning.
I couldn't move. I felt like I had just been through a wrestling match. My muscles were sore in places I had forgotten I even had muscles. Seems that my ego from using the old model had pushed me too hard with the new one and my muscles responded the way they always do when they have been pushed to the limit... they fatigued... big time. Maybe this wasn't so inferior after all. Maybe the improvements were actually made for a reason. After abandoning the image of this primordial club in my hands, the new model proved to be far more effective in providing a total body work out. The nylon straps offered far superior resistance than the cables ever did and did not hurt to pull.
As a distributor, I took a booth at the Arnold Classic 2000 and offered $20 for anyone who could compress the ends together so the rings disappeared for 10 seconds. We had probably 100+ people attempt it, some with 20"+ arms. Only FIVE people were successful and they were all power lifters. The body builders with the 20" arms all failed. If they were not benching 400lbs, they could not do it. Why did we do it? To show people it was not a toy or a gimmick, that they could make this as difficult and effective as they wished. We won a lot of customers with that demonstration. Arnold held it in his hands and reminded me it was German technology.
30 days later, we were on a news program promotion. Due to the fact that the majority of our viewers were women at that time, we structured the demonstration to show that women on the go can use this easily and simply to improve the two most popular areas we all wish to improve; lower back and flatten the tummy. The ab exercise we demonstrated in a sitting position and we sold $5000 worth of orders in the next 48 hours of which 95% of the orders were women. There were no returns. What does all this mean? That the Bullworker (this model) utilizes the 3 major exercises (isometric, isotonic & isokenetic) and in doing so, allows anyone, any age, to get a complete muscle tone workout to a muscle crunching physique. The changes were what allowed this complete movement with isolation to take place.
Over 50% of the exercises can be effectively performed while in a sitting position. Furthermore, the millions that were sold were primarily to a male market and while the male market is still the dominate area, there is no other home device I know of that is as efficient for people on the go with very little time to work out. For most people in that category, that means women. Women love this for its convenience and its results. It just a matter of determining what you what the Bullworker to accomplish; tone or muscle, it always delivers faster than anything else I know of. Use it to work on any target area of your body and watch the rest of your body tone up in doing so.
Any exercise that is done on the knees can be done in a chair. Big rule of thumb: for reduction; reps (isotonic) for strength: hold (isometric) Most males are in to strength and that is where the Bullworker wins them over. It is like Popeye Spinach for the upper body. "Most" women want reduction, they must do the reps and we win them over. Best kept secret: over 50% of the exercises can be performed in a sitting position.
Test it; it only works if you use it.

Questioner’s results
…Within two weeks I was 20% stronger and had added an inch to my biceps and lost three inches in my thighs. My midriff is an inch thinner. The great thing about a Bullworker workout is that you control every effort and movement.
The Bullworker doesn't make you fight gravity or falling steel parts. The Bullworker challenges you from the inside. Can you press a bit more today than yesterday? If your hand slips or you lose strength, the Bullworker simply and slowly slides back into an idle position. No harm done. No muscles pulled. No embarrassment offered.
Questioner’s Conclusion
The Bullworker is a workhorse you cannot do with out. I’m thrilled and thankful to have it back in my life. I now only hope this Bullworker will last 10 years so I can bond with it as I did its predecessor. You can order a Bullworker online for around $100 here. I give the Bullworker the top rating.
