What is Isometric Strength Training?
The most significant breakthrough in fitness came when Dr. E.A. Muller and Dr. Th. Hettinger discovered maximum muscle growth can be attained by exerting 60% of existing muscle strength against a superior resistance for only 7 seconds once a day; a fitness technique known as isometrics. The study at the Max Planck Institute (Germany’s Prestigious Research Institute) consisted of over 200 experiments over a ten-year period. Optimum results are attained with 5 workouts per week, but impressively, even one single weekly workout is sufficient to maintain your improvements attained.
Professor James A. Baley put isometrics to the test with college students at the University of Connecticut. The study resulted in the isometric group improving 3X faster than the sports training group on tests measuring increases in strength, endurance, coordination, and agility.
Thank you for choosing Bullworker to accomplish your fitness goals and get ready for a rapid transformation to your body!

Great General Purpose Exercise Equipme
Easy to use, with a comprehensive manual with workout plans, this is ideal for anyone working from home and wanting something they can use at their desk. Would recommend this to anyone wanting low impact exercise, without wanting to shell out on a gym membership.
Fast Results.
I’m 72 now and have used one of these since I was 15. I’ve also done weight training over the years. I found that if work kept me out of the gym for a prolonged period, my Bullworker helped me avoid losing strength and fitness.
Having reduced the length of my exercise sessions over the last year due to an injury, with the help of my new Bullworker, I’m building up my sessions again. Following the guidance provided, I am seeing muscle growth and increased strength – even at my age! The Bullworker has given me a new sense of purpose. Highly recommended.
If you get this on offer defo worth it.
Just remember to remove the already installed spring if you decide to change to a different spring.
It may not appear that there is already a spring inside because it is soooooooooooo weak yes I typed soooooooo just to make sure you got what I’m saying,
You can put another spring inside, yep i did… doh… & then even that was too weak so upped my game but the next level spring PLUS the one you – may – not realise is already there!!!!
Then that is toooooooooooooooooo much & watch out for the handle flying off & nearly hitting the wife 😉
Great fun…..
Anyhooooo,,,,,
Better than my one I had when I was 18, 40 years on, blimey where has the time gone 🙁
Before buying this I relied on power twister bars for doing my chest exercises. They are OK, but as you become stronger, you have to buy new bars with more resistance, and if you have a lapse in concentration, the bar can turn and hit you in the jaw. This, I can tell you, is very painful. I wanted something that I could change the resistance of, that I could use without the danger of breaking my jaw and, as a bonus, that would be more versatile. This Bullworker fits the bill perfectly.
The five resistance springs cover a range that will accommodate most people and they are easy to swap out. The Bullworker and the springs (plus a small rubber mat) all fit conveniently in to a carry bag for ease of transport or storage. The cables make it far more versatile than a power twister bar could ever be, great for for back and arm exercise.
Having sung its praises, I have to say that the most useful apparatus in my home gym is a set of exercise bands in conjunction with some wall anchors, but this comes a close second. Third would come a set of heavy-duty resistance loops, good for the rotator muscles.
I do not hesitate to award the Bullworker Classic five stars. I can now distract myself with watching YT videos, etc, without having to concentrate too much on what I am doing.
I used to own a bullworker as an adolescent. Back then It had uncomfortable black straps, no changeable resistance and no grips. I eventually gave it away and have been working out with weights (barbells, dumbbells and kettlebells since then). I wanted to mix it up in my workouts so I gave this version a try when I saw several videos posted by official bullworker reps and regular users on the net. I haven't used it extensively yet but after a few exercises I can definitely notice an evolution of the original. It's more comfortable on the hands, it has springs with different compression rates which really make a substantial difference in resistance and comes in a very neat storage case with a rubber pad and useful instruction booklet. In my opinion it will never replace a classic workout with weights for various reasons but it can complement it and offer renewed challenges. One thing I realized very quickly is that this thing is definitely not a toy. It is a lot more challenging than I thought right out of the box. I can only imagine how hard it is to use it with the red spring ! If you have been working out with weights for years and think this looks too easy to be challenging, think again !

I am 53 years of age, a middle aged man…aches and pains from repetitive factory jobs, etc. I have been there and done it with the weights in my younger days….doesn’t it take SO LONG TO WORK OUT WITH WEIGHTS? Life’s too short!
I had two bullworkers in my teens…I loved them! They made me strong. A couple of years ago, I purchased the steel bow, and shortly after, a birthday present…the CLASSIC.
Recently, for my birthday, I was gifted the NEW classic…let me tell you something, this is an amazing update on the previous red and black handled version. It is SO SMOOTH in operation, SO BEAUTIFUL to hold, it just feels different…and in a good way.
Who needs a gym membership? Wasting hours at a time. 5 or 10 minutes a day, 5 times a week, for example…that’s all it takes.
A tip…? Hold each rep for 2 seconds. But there’s many ways to use the bullworker.
I’ll be using the Bullworker in my 80s! Is it worth purchasing this new version if you already have the old… ? YES! It’s an evolution of a legendary product.
I’m a mid 60s male and was basically slim and fit before getting this bullworker.
I’m now 6 weeks in to using it carefully, just 10 mins per day. It’s already making a difference.
The book that comes with it is ok but not great. The bullworker web site has a lot of really good mini videos of each exercise and some good videos of exercise sets.
Avoid youtube as there are some videos that look plain wrong to me.
The quality hasn't degraded in the last 50 years. This one should last too.

Easy start to exercise
I bought this after a neck and shoulder injury and now use it every day
This new bullworker bow classic arrived well packaged and with all accessories as listed for this product. I’ve used a bullworker for many years from the original, to X5 and variants. This model is very good because of the 5 interchangeable springs. It’s smooth to operate and an effective piece of kit.
Bullworker - great products & helpful
I have previously used Bullworker products and find them really well made and effective.
I wanted to upgrade to their latest S3 36″ Bow Classic. I had found problems as was getting the older model. I contacted Bullworker and they quickly really helped me get the S3 delivered safely. I am impressed both with their products and customer service.
Bullworker also make available (for example on their website or YouTube channel) some great workouts and exercise that you can use too.
For anyone wanted an effective exercise routine they can fit in to a busy lifestyle I highly recommend their range of products – they work well and I find them enjoyable to use too.
Big thanks from me to Bullworker!
Made to last. High Quality. Easy spring changes. Fabulous product that has been around for many years. A legendary product that stands the test of time. I have been a Bullworker user since the 70s. Its a product that works

Best gym equipment I have bough
Upon receiving it, I have spent most of my day trying out different exercises with the bullworker. My first impressions of this product are positive.
The build of the bullworker seems to be robust. You can also get a five year warranty upon receiving the bullworker by simply scanning the QR code you get.
You have to get used to training with it at first, as some exercises may be complicated to perform as intended. Please read the manual carefully before use. I found isometric training with the bullworker to be effective at activating targeted muscles, although I was skeptical at first. Once you get a grip of how the bullworker is meant to do its job then you won’t be disappointed. The bullworker is a good alternative to many exercises you may do in a gym. Personally I bought the bullworker to be independent from my local gym, and so far it has shown potential. I recommend supplementing bullworker exercises with bodyweight exercises, too.
L’appareil c’est amélioré plus de fonctionnalités
J’utilise le bulworker depuis une quarantaine d’annes il est surtout d’une grande utilit pour les exercices isomtriques
Super rapde
Superbe produit comme dcrit sur le site. Livraison trs rapide et dans les temps. Produit que je recommande mme pour les non sportifs. Simple d’utilisation.
Great Update of a Fantastic Produc
The range of bullworker products are fantastic and I am already an owner of their Steel Blow and Iso-Flo products. Bullworker Customer Care are on point and sorted out a few queries that I had ( Thank you Seth!) I am now in receipt of the updated S3 Bullworker Bow Classic. I never doubted the quality of Bullworker products but the new S3 models are a FANTASTIC update. Please note if you deal with Bullworker directly in the USA the delivery time is ultra fast … 2 days in my case! So order with confidence.
These things are built to last and are supported by a large body of routines and work outs … check out youtube and bullworker.com.
Bought this after discovering isometrics due to a shoulder and back injury. Hadn’t been able to do my normal routines due to constant pain and begrudgingly gave up on them and started looking for things I could do. Discovered isometrics thanks to Matt from red delta project and a couple other youtubers and bought an iso trainer. My rotator cuff injuries started feeling much better and I. Was able to get pretty good lifts in without irritating my shoulder or back so I kept researching isometrics. That led me to the bullworker and the isochain. Bought both and have been using them for a couple months now and have gained most of the muscle I lost over the past couple years back and feel so much more solid and stable than I did when I was doing heavy barbell lifts.
The bullworker is great for upper body and has allowed me to get really hard lifts in like I never thought would be possible. It’s not the best for leg and bigger compound lifts like deadlifts but it’s absolutely incredible for arms shoulders chest and back stuff. It’s portability is a huge plus too. I’ve been doing a lot of 10 second holds followed by 5-10 reps and can’t believe how my bodies responding. Developing strength and muscle is all about time under tension and this is my new favorite tool for upper body lifts. Highly recommend this and looking into isometrics I’m general, especially if you have injuries you’re trying to work through.
Glad I went for the full versio
Like many reviewers I remember the old Bullworker from 40+ years ago. I wanted something to supplement my running/cycling and this is the perfect beast for that. It’s a bit expensive perhaps, but makes up for it with its sheer ease of use. This version comes with a handy booklet of training programs and individual exercises, and a range of springs to vary the workload – glad I paid the extra for these as I needed to start light and now need to step up the resistance. Swopping them is very simple. I wouldn’t say this is a replacement for all other forms of exercise, and it’s rather upper-body focused (with a few leg exercises), but a few minutes on this 4 times a week does bring some visible benefits.
I have owned a bullworker for years and I am now 83-years-old and in tip top physical shape for a man my age. The bullworker is an isometric/isotonic exercise device that is easy to use because it will accommodate almost any range and intensity of motion for a whole series of what I believe to be exceptionally effective and beneficial exercises. It uses no electricity, stores easily between uses, is very well constructed, is a great value for the price ..easily travels …. I cannot praise it enough.
Bull Worker is easy to use, stores in small area, works many muscle groups, and the manual provided is an excellent guide to what muscles to work.

Bullworker, great produc
My 4o year old bull worker, broke, brought this new one and wow , what a difference, this new one is fantastic, well worth the money.
Imagine
It arrived unwrapped which spoilt the suprise for my son as he answered the door. Can you imagine if I had ordered a double ended dildo. He would have been traumatised for life
Expensive but good quality
Very happy with the Bullworker. I had one in the 1980s and this is better quality. Good idea to have additional springs. Just need to keep to the plan in the included booklet.
Had one of these in the 70's. Great for a workout without leaving the house. It seems to work well for me.

Seen genuine results
Purchased around 6 months ago but only used it very infrequently for the first 2-3 months, however when using every other day as per the booklet supplied I’ve seen really nice gains all over. Particularly my chest and shoulders are much more defined and a lot less flabby!! Build quality is pretty good as well 🙂
Of course as with most of the other reviews, I did own 1 of these years back and used it religiously ! Loved it then and love it now! The reason is it works for me. I do combine this with bands and punching bags. I enjoy the workout I get with it. I just recently added the iso-flo. Was not sure of this at first but after using it and realizing you need to go slower with the movements to create a burn, I use this instead of free weights for great pump.

Unbelievable quality
Had this thing for around 20 years, the only thing it needs is occasionally WD-40.
It was especially useful during the pandemic when GYMS were closed.
Bullworker has amazing quality and very wide use spectrum.
(Photos are of the old version of a 36 inch unit)
10/10
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
Still the best!
I spent 1967-69 in Malaysia in the 28th Brigade at Terendak Camp. A lot of the guys bought the Bullworker as it was compact, could be stored in your locker and was a great isometric exerciser.
54 years later, bought one for my son and he thinks it is great. Still the same quality, still compact and all you need for isometric exercise.
The bullworker has improved since my last one I owned forty years ago. The workout is now more detailed and comprehensive. It's essence is still the same!!

Fantastic exercise equipment.
This really an incredible piece of equipment.
Just apply their advice and feel the difference.
Very good machine
Very sturdy easy to use and follow the training programs.
My Christmas present Bullworker finally gave up on me recently after 40 years service and I’m glad I’ve replaced it with the new but similar 36″ model. It looks good, has a reassuring weighty feel to it and just oozes quality. Having read earlier reviews I wasn’t sure how many springs it would come with and I was pleased to see it had the one fitted already and four extra coloured springs, each one to increase the resistance, more than enough to stretch even the most experienced user. It’s pretty straightforward swapping the springs, a twist and pull at one end and the Bullworker comes apart. Although I was fortunate enough to grab it for 99.99 on Amazon, I was prepared to pay the higher price, 139. Yes, it’s expensive but it’s the real deal and I think this one might just outlast me.
It’s great it’s like being in a gym
It’s fantastic it is hard work which is great it’s like being in a gym except the workout is not as long like normal weights you can feel the burn an I’ve used a number of these devices but this one is the best as long as you follow the guide with the springs of course an don’t try jumping them as you will gain nothing thanks guys awesome
Excellent for upper body (above waist) workout. Almost no benefit for below waist. Cannot isolate some muscles. Still, it's a cost-effective equipment.

I own the 20" bullworker called as steelbow since quite some time now. However, never quite used it since I had a gym membership. Eventually because of COVID related gym closures, was forced to start using the steelbow. I felt the need for a bigger version of it for lower body exercise and that is when I bought this 36" bullworker. Needless to say, it complements the 20" perfectly. I love how the two can be used together for different body parts and offer a complete gym experience at home.

Excellent kit, wish I bought one years ago
I’ve used weights but it felt like hard work and I kept giving up. Bullworker is so easy to pick up and use I work out with this almost every day. I keep it handy and use it whenever I have a few spare minutes and I can feel the difference. It stores in a smart bag which looks good and doesn’t take up much space. The instruction booklet is clear and there are videos on the Internet which show plenty of exercise options. I thought changing the spring would be tricky but it isn’t, it takes 30 seconds. I haven’t dropped it on my foot but if I did, I doubt it would hurt like a weight!
Bewährtes Trainingsgerä
Ich be (mit Unterbrechungen) mittlerweile seit 40 Jahren mit drei Bullworkergenerationen.
Die Wechseloption mit unterschiedlichen Federn bei dem aktuellen Modell ist leicht durchfhrbar und stellt eine echte Erweiterung des Trainings dar. Ich benutze aber der Einfachheit halber zwei Bullworker, so spare ich mir den Wechsel beim Training.
Die bungen sind gelenkschonend ausfhrbar und daher auch in der Rekonvaleszenz machbar.
Nutze den Bullworker wirklich gerne und gerade fr einen Kurz-Workout” ist das Gert einfach klasse.
En remplacement de mon x5. Respire la qualit et la solidit avec 5 ressorts en tout. Le livret d entrainement a chang mais reste trs clair avec un challenge 90 jours !! Super produit et donne des rsultats si le programme est respect.
I've dislocated my shoulder multiple times. Even had surgery to repair it. Then ripped it out again. 3 simple exercises on this thing a few days a week has kept my shoulder in place even if I trip and fall. This thing is a life savor.

Excelle
Very good for those who don’t have the time to go to the gym. I use it on weeks i can’t make the gym.
The best, well made piece of exercise equipment you can own.
The Bullworker Classic is an outstanding piece of engineering and quality construction.
Beautifully made and a joy to use!!!
Wonderful for exercising at home or anywhere you choose to take it.
I purchased two I liked it so much.
I had one back in 1968 and enjoyed it then as well.
This is the closest thing to a small portable gym that I’ve seen. I had seen my dad using one of these and had started to it. Not to mention that was ridiculously old and it still worked!! I like it so much I got one for my self. Great way to get a full body workout if you know which exercise to do.

Nothing beats the actual bullworke
I had bought a Bullworker lookalike ………..but the actual Bullworker is a lot heavier and the tensions on the ropes much more flexible and workable.
This is pure quality
For me, at 5'5", I probably should have gotten something smaller. This 36 incher is cumbersome for me to use. With that said, I use it, and it's a good workout.

Used this back in the 1970’s. I was pleased to see it’s still around. It’s much improved and doesn’t tax my 60 year old muscles & joints like lifting weights. You can find lots of follow along routines on YouTube and that is the way to go. I am seeing good gains with using 6 days a week. Highly recommended. ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

Je connais le principe et l’ efficacit du Bullworker. C’ est mon 3me depuis plus de 50 ans.
L’ activit sportive n’ tait pas ma priorit, pas le temps et on finit par l’ ignorer!
Perdu dans les dmnagements, oubli…Puis envie de m’y remettre, mais mauvais achat, tension trs dure.
En fait appareil sans ressort, ce sont les cbles qui assurent l’ effort et pas possibilit de rglage .
J’ ai 78 ans et encore envie de vivre en assez bonne sant d’ o cette nouvelle acquisition et pas du par mon achat.
Je ne donne pas la note 5 cause du poids, il me semble un peu lourd, mais je pense que je vais m’ y habituer!
Very Good
Good quality construction, excellent exercise device, good manual showing the various exercises…..all in all, I am very pleased with this product.
Looks and feels just like the original.
Arrived on time. I remember the one I had in my youth. This looks like a great upgrade and hope it will be as effective on my older body as the original! It seems just as well made. Just bought another one for my son as it arrived this morning and I haven’t had a chance to use it yet.
This replaces an old (25-30 year) Bullworker X5. The quality is still amazing. Its versatile as this one unit will suffice for a woman or an athletic man. One nitpick is in order to do all the exercises you have to change out the spring for proper resistance, but its a simple task. Takes less than 20 seconds. My old X5 must have come with a progressive spring as I never had to change it (you couldn't anyway as its riveted shut). As others have stated just a few minutes a day and you will feel it. Mine arrived a couple days ago and I said to myself I'm going entirely by the book. First week you only do one set of seven exercises daily. Done properly you will be sore afterwards. Reading the excellent instruction book it has a thirteen week plan. Looking forward to the progress.

Grea
Used for some time now and still doing a good job. A little noisy at fist but just use a little lube and the squeaking stops.
Only time will tell
Having not long received my BULLWORKER, I feel it’s too early to say if its working as expected! Here’s hoping!!
Compact and effective exercise equipment for a fast effective daily workout.
This is a great product to give the a fast and thorough workout for the upper limbs , shoulder girdle , chest and trunk. Not so useful for the lower limbs though , except hip abduction and adduction movements.
I have used the older version ( green plastic handles) in the 1970s since I was a teenager. I broke the spring after some years , as it had a fixed spring then.
I am concerned about the quality of the reddish plastic hand grips though , which although new, feel a bit sticky. Worried that this may deteriorate over time with constant use. The older green model had hard wearing plastic which never felt sticky. It would also be useful if it came with a simple pictorial exercise chart. Surprised that it did not even come with a simple instruction manual , although it is not a problem for a previous user like myself.
Overall a very compact and useful product to build and maintain muscle mass. The interchangeable springs are a good improvement.
I’ve previously used an old brown handled version that was passed down to me that recently came to the end of its life, just as I was ready to get back into fitness again! As you’d expect, over time the spring inside did get weaker. This prompted me to get the Bow Classic as a replacement.
The build quality on it is exceptional. It feels like a premium product, but it’s not heavy or cumbersome to use.
One of the things I really like about this version is the hand grips on the ropes which are easy to move up and down depending on what the exercises are. Also, the moulded red grips feel great and there’s no worry that I’ll end up losing my grip on it when I’m working out.
It’s also good to see that it comes with 5 springs. Even though I’m not at the stage yet to use the higher resistance springs, I was able to go about the process of dismantling the Bow Classic to see how easy it is to do. It’s really straightforward, and there’s no way you could accidentally do unclip the mechanism mid workout.
The bag that it comes in as well is really high quality and the non slip pad is a nice touch for doing exercises that require the Bow Classic to be planted on the floor. In short, it’s a pleasure to use, and after even a short workout, you do feel like you’ve been put through your paces.
Lastly, the book that comes with it is really useful as well. It’s a hand pocket size and it has full colour diagrams of the exercises that you can do with it. As an added touch, it’s also available to download online (I can’t post the link here but it’s on the Bullworker website) free of charge which will be a big help for those that are travelling and want to do a workout but don’t have the book to hand.
All in all, a highly recommended piece of workout equipment that is going to see a lot of use over the coming years.
Super produit solide et efficace
Le top. Je devais le recevoir le 6 fvrier et reu le 20 janvier. Il vient des us ! a respire la qualit, le produit lui mme et les accessoires (housse, livret et les 5 ressorts). Produit garantie 5 ans et enregistrement immdiat sur le site grce un qr code. Ya plus qu’ mais a a fonctionn fort pour moi il y a 40 ans, alors ?
I’m 61 now and I remember my friend buying one of these back at school in the 70’s and it turned him into a beef cake ripping his shirts (literally, I kid you not) and gaining the reputation of the strongest lad in the year, if not the school. This one looks just as good as his, if not better, especially with the replacement springs which are easy to swap out. I have yet to start the routine suggested in the handy book that comes with it, but just buying it and unpacking it has let me tighten my belt a notch. I don’t expect to be ripping shirts like Tommo, not at my age, but health wise I think this will be one of, if not THE, best investments towards fruitful and active longevity. I might even get to tighten my belt another notch or two, beat the wife at arm wrestling… the possibilities are endless! I’m still staying clear of the dog though.

I ordered the bullworker classic on the 26th December(Boxing Day) and was told delivery date was 5 January. It came on the 29th December. How good is that. With Covid I decided to set up my home gym. I already had weights, barbell and multi station so I bought some dumbbells (10,15 and 20 kg). Then bought a triangle and triceps pull down rope and thought that was it. Then I had a brainwave and thought isometric as an adjunct. So I bought the bullworker and it's great. My biceps shoulders and back are really sore and that's the good soreness from a really hard workout. Totally recommend Bullworker. Well made and sturdy and comes with a comprehensive guide.

Been working out since I am a teenager and I had the original green handled Bullworker in the late 70s lasted forever.
The new and improved BW classic is an awesome update and the ability to change springs and resistance make this such a perfect versatile all around product for a stay at home and convenient full body workout. I have been using this since the covid lockdown last March and i no longer need to go to my expensive NYC gym. I am getting great results , all you need to do is follow the easy to learn program included with the BW and watch the great youtube videos on the “Bullworker ” channel and you will see the results as long as your consistent ! I now have all of the Bullworker products and the all work together with ease. KUDOs to the Bullworker family!
Ideal for me. A sixteen transfer. And ex Royal Marines Commando
It was what I trained with in 1970. It’s a State of Mind. Quick and effective way of maintaining your body.
I’ve trusted BullWorker brand since I was in my teens. They make a solid product that actually works if you’re determined to put time and effort towards your keep fit goals.
Solid manufactured product that has now been upgraded to deluxe status.Ergonomic and smooth in use.
Comes with a A5 size colour booklet with pictures and recommendations on how to set your goal and move along as weeks go by.
Comes with 4 springs of different compression load along with the original spring inside the product.
The price for this marvel is also very fair @ 200. Highly recommend it. Save your gym fees. I have.
Great Improvement over earlier models
I’ve been using an old Mk2 Bullworker for over 40 years to great effect and recently bought the 36″ Classic Bow. The great thing is you can use more strength for better gains/toning and also decrease the resistance for exercises that are impossible with the strongest (red) spring. Another bonus for travellers! If, like me you travell a lot with small bags (I work offshore) then you can just take the spring out and the bow will become very short, fitting into even hand luggage. What I had done for years was use a small ratchet strap to compress the Mk 2. A word of warning. Make sure the black stopper is lined up properly with the flat on the smaller tube or the internals will graunch and wear quickly.
