Bullworker Isometric InformationWelcome to the Bullworker Information website
This is the place to come to find any and all information regarding the Bullworker family of exercise devices.
The Bullworker is available in many forms from the early days when it was known as a Tensolator to the latest incarnation of the Bullworker X5. The Bullworker is the original isometric fitness system and has been updated slightly with minor model changes through the years.
They say that plagiarism is the greatest form of flattery so this must prove its a great product. There are many replica and copycat products on the market from slightly modified devices like the Muscle Gun, Fitness Bar, Steel Bow or the Exxerwatch down to the flagrant rippof's that try and associate themselves with the quality and reputation of Bullworker; products such as the Powerworker, Pitbull, Xtreme and Buffalo Worker are all cheap clones and not the real thing. [All these products work on the same principle as the Bullworker but quality of construction varies greatly... as do the some of the wild claims!]

Isometric Power Revolution
There is a new book out that was just published a couple of months ago. It is called Isometric Power Revolution.
It was pulished by BronzeBow Publishing out of Minneapolis, MN. The link for the book can be found here
The author is John Peterson. He has pulished and written a few other books dealing specifically with self resistence, pushups and other calisthenics and focusing specifically on body weight excercising.
What a great book!
There have been others by Wittenberg and Bailey (and I have both of these) that were written in the 1960's when isometrics was enjoying a 'push' (no pun intended) in America.
This book does a great justice in 'honoring' many of the past physical culturists that followed isometrics and incorporated them and gave them credit for success. The book has methods and also routines to follow. "Ranges' of excercises are discussed and timing for holds (a variety of timings, in fact) to acheive different results.
Anyway....just wanted to share. I am a huge bullworker fan and have reveiwed the new Steel Bow that I am absolutley 'crazy' about. Wow....a new Bullworker version and a new book on isometrics. Glad my wife doens't see the credit card statement (HAH!)

New power and might blog
my blog
Ben's blog is very interesting
Heres a snippet:
In the early 20th century, a young man weighed around 97 pounds at the age of 15-16 years young and got beat up in an alley by a punk kid on Halloween night. He was so humilated that he did the best he could to not let that happen again but still he got pummeled by bullies. At the beach one day this scrawny teenager along with his girlfriend at the time were having fun having some laughs and coming up to them was a guy with a physique that can make a woman blush kicked sand into this kids face and walked off with his girl. Now he had gotten himself into a mess he didn't know how to handle so he started lifting weights to feel good about himself. This didn't do too well for him. He went to the zoo one day where he went to think and began noticing certain things animals demonstrated and began to realized how these animals strengthened their bodies in nature. He got himself a course from a man named Alois Swoboda and learned the lessons of physical culture through Bodyweight Exercises. He came up with a way to adapt to this course by pitting one muscle against another. This is the true story of Angelo Siciliano A.KA the world famous Charles Atlas. He worked his body using what I and other members at Transformetics call Dynamic Self Resistance exercises where you work one muscle against another. Not only did this work for Atlas but it made him a legend in Physical Culture. He created a course that had the same exercises he developed his body with and it made him a millionare over night. For over 50 years his course helped break the mold of how to develop a body without the use of equiment and not get "sand kicked in your face." This went on well after his death in 1972 and his course still to this day is being used by hundreds of thousands of people all over the world developing strength and will power by these exercises.....
