Bullworker, anyone?

Does anyone here use or have used the Bullworker? I have an uncle who, back in the early 80s, used to swear by it. Bullworkers are available in the USA again.

I have NO idea what you are even talking about.

Hey, I got one of those!
My dad used his back in the 60s, those things are ooolllllddd. They work ok, I prefer the much superior free weight/home gym setups we have available here now, but those bullworkers are ok for someone with little space. Good to use while you watch tv or something. The cables are darn rough on the fingers sometimes though.

Yeah, those things are old. They stopped selling them here sometime in the 80s. But they are back. This vendor's website has more info.

It seems like they replaced those cables with straps. At $100, the price is a bit steep.

I wonder if the Bullworker really works.

I remember seeing the magazine ads with Charles Atlas all pumped up with a bullworker next to him.
Not sure how well they work, they were versatile, but I didn't find it to be all that effective at building pure muscle mass. Pretty crude exercises, that's for sure. Maybe they're a collectable now, I better hold onto mine.
