The Bullworker 90 Course: The Complete 90-Day/12-Week Bullworker Training Course

I have been using Isometrics for a long while now in my own training and have been looking for some science to back up what I know works. I am 53 and fitter now than ever and my whole resistance part of my training is isometrics. I like the book and the theory. I do not use a bullworker myself as use the simple Isobow but the theory is superb. I think the English and American spelling differences are interesting and show Brian's cross atlantic travelling well. Top stuff. Ian

Well worth the price, tons of info.

This book is quite informative on they way to carry out each exercise and the planned workouts, it has a bit of history on the bullworker, but a vast majority of the pages are made up of low quality photo scans on how to perform each exercise, while this is still valuable, it makes for a cheap looking book, which it isn't and in my opinion way to expensive for what you get, so I could only really recommend it as a book if it was on sale, If you just want the information with low quality photo's and you don't know any Bullworker exercises, then it could be the book for you.

Very good book. Only reason I've dropped a star is because it waffled on a bit about how isotonic etc. works. Now, some people might find this of use but I just wanted a book to show me how best to exercise with the bullworker. Which it does, but it was page 58 before it got to the first exercise. Ideally, it could be half the size and preferably in a ring binder so you could keep the page open when you're doing an exercise.

I appreciate the effort of the authors, but it’s not what I was hoping for. The book is readable just not a very good read. It has an okay training course, some good tips on how to use the Bullworker and two exercises I haven’t seen before. But I’m sorry to say, that too many things annoy me. Besides editing mistakes where some pages or paragraphs are identical, there are some claims that are unsubstantiated like “studies indicate that there is a 30 to 60-minute time-frame after exercise when you need to eat”. This “Window of opportunity” is a myth (Just google it). Then there is the claim, that repetitions are best performed super slow lasting 10 seconds in each direction. In some execises most people will only be able to move the Bullworker less than an inch or not at all, making such a small movement last 10 seconds just doesn’t make any sense. The authors suggest you do 8 to 12 repetitions, that would make one set last between 160 and 240 seconds. Again it doesn’t make sense and it does not support the “less time” selling point on the cover. The Bullworker is a great training apparatus but not on it’s own. Training legs is not it’s strong point. Doing leg abductor and adductor exercises does not work the major muscle groups of the legs. And you need to work the major muscle groups of the legs to work out effectively, wether your aim is to lose fat or build muscles. You need to walk, run, jump, squat. In ny opinion this is not sufficiently included in this 90 day training course. The layout of the training course is strange. Two or three pictures to show every execise, when one picture would suffice. Beside the explanation of the specific exercise, there is a nonspecific text on how to perform the repetitions. This text is the same with every exercise. So why not just show it at the beginning of the training course? Every picture in the book is of the female author, which to me as a man, isn’t inspiring. I don’t like the way the authors try to push Bullworker USA products. There is nothing wrong with Bullworker USA products, but I find it laughable when the authors suggest you do a wall push using the Isobow.

Some pictures of a male doing the exercises would be nice and inspirational. That said it's an excellent book and goes a long way past previous books on the bullworker, I own an original. Just started the exercises and already notice the difference. Very good, have recommended.

The author trying to pump some new life into an old and expensive piece of kit. The fact is the Bullworker has many limitations compared to other idometric exerciders and the science behind this form of exercise has moved on.

Used a Bullworker many years ago and was very pleased with the results. Many years later I'm just getting back into training with the new model purchased through Amazon. Training techniques have improved over the years, become more scientific. I'm quite sure that I shall be just as pleased as many years ago.

Use less

Excellent product and routine if you follow the book.

Very good exercise equipment. Good product, and works well.

This is a combined review for The Bullworker Bible and The 90 Day Course books. they were okay but not my cup of tea. Here is why. The idea of the book seems solid but the workout kinda drove me nuts. Not the exercises themselves but the repeating of the exercises each week. Example - If you were to do exercises A B C D E F the first week and the next week you were to do different exercises except you still had to do C, that exercise was repeated again by Title, description and photograph(s) just as if they cut and paste from the first week. This happened multiple times throughout the book. I hate to say it but it seems as though it was done this way just to add pages. IMHO, it seems that a better format would have been to describe all the exercises, including photos, that would be done during the 90 days and then do lists as to which ones were to be done each week. And the pics could have been larger and better quality. As for the Bullworker Bible. There was good info and history in there. But they were describing the various terms in great detail and it seemed to get repeated multiple times. Also, they did list with description and the same photos all of the exercises listed/shown in this book. The fact that both books were $20 seemed a bit off considering the size difference (pages). Again IMHO, I think the Authors would have been better served to combine both books, cut down on the repetitiveness and add better quality and larger photos. I sent both of them back. Going to see what else is out there.

If you grew up with the bullworker as I did you know its very effective. But through the years you run out of ideas and variations. This book helps you find new ways of using the BW and re motivating you. If your a BW fan i recommend it.
