They are using a 36 inch coiled spring as opposed to the 32 inch coiled spring that the Bullworker Steel Bow people are offering. This is an easy one, the Bully Xtreme has in my estimation, at least double the amount of resistance of the Bullworker Steel Bow. Making it very easy to workout with, I don't even use workout gloves anymore. The cables are "sealed" with 25 tons of pressure and then are covered with a thicker, more comfortable plastic sheath, then even what the old Bullworker had. They have also brought back the steel cables and made them stronger. I personally prefer this handle to the old Bullworker model it's more comfortable and also "fits" better, in my hands. The Bully Xtreme Company redesigned the handles, making them from a durable and more comfortable "plastic polymer". As Frank Sherrill recently commented, he wasn't building a product for "girlie men" he wanted a product that would hold up over time and provide a safe and effective workout, but with the MAXIMUM resistance possible. They weren't looking to build a weak or pretty product. The Bully Xtreme people never pulled any punches. The Bully Xtreme weights more than the Bullworker Steel Bow, because of its man sized length and sturdy steel construction, so if lifting 5 lbs is a problem, this may not be the product for you. The tube part is made like the old Bullworkers.steel and aluminum. The tube design of the Bully Xtreme is similar to the Bullworker X5, in that it has the 3 tubes (allowing for more exercises), but that is where the similarities end. It's exactly what's been going on in the Automotive industry, where they have taken the best of SUV's and combined it with the best of passenger vehicles, to create their own "hybrids." What the Bully Xtreme people have done is taken the best of the Tensolator, Macho Power, Bullworker 2, Bullworker 3, Bullworker X5, and created this "hybrid" Bullworker, the Bully Xtreme.Īs I see it, this is the natural evolution of a product.
I don't find myself needing a chair or table to use to support the Bully as opposed to the 20 inch Bullworker Steel Bow that MUST use props in order for it be somewhat effective. The Bully Xtreme - At 38 inches long and the innovator of this new "hybrid" design, the Bully Xtreme is much easier to workout with.
They don't mention how "strong" the cables are thou? They are using steel cables now but again just a "knock off" of the Bully Xtreme design. The Bullworker Steel Bow weights just under 4 lbs.īullworker Steel Bow does offer a molded handle, so it is more comfortable than the Bullworker X5 Gold that they used to sell. That's great if you are into handbags and purses. The Bullworker Steel Bow does offer a "prettier" carrying case than the Bully Xtreme. Although this is nothing new, if you are familiar with the Bully Xtreme you now have 3 tubes, allowing you to do more exercises than with the Bullworker 3 models. The best feature of the Bullworker Steel Bow design is that instead of 2 tubes, one sliding into the other. In fact the Bullworker Steel Bow is several inches shorter than even the old lady Bullworker model. The angle of the exercises is compromised so you effectively lose any of the muscle building benefit of the movement. And the number of exercise that can be performed has been reduced significantly. So, one of the glaring problems with the Bullworker Steel Bow, is that you are unable to perform MANY of the exercises effectively. The problem with an exerciser this short is that if you are over 5 foot tall, the unit is just too small. While it looks very "similar," that's where it ends. The Bullworker Steel Bow - is a 20 inch (baby version) of the Bully Xtreme. So let's compare the Bullworker Steel Bow and the Bully Xtreme by the following factors: This looks like a radical shift in their marketing plan, since it appears that they no longer are selling the Bullworker X5 Gold anymore at their website. It looks like the people from Bullworker USA have finally gotten the message and are offering a product that they can actually warranty, unlike the Bullworker X5 gold they previously marketed. The sad fact is that it appears to be a "copy cat" of the Bully Xtreme. At first glance, the Bullworker Steel Bow looks like an impressive product.
