Old Style Muscle Building
Back in the late 1960's a German named Gert F Koelbel, invented an
exercise device called the Tensolator which later on was renamed the
Bullworker.
This device was based on using the principles of Isometrics or Static
Contraction.
Bullworker sales took off like a turbo charged skyrocket, reaching
sales of 4 million by the middle of the 1980's.
What's remarkable about this is that they never used T.V. advertising.
The Bullworker was mostly sold from ads in comic books, some wrestling
and bodybuilding magazines.
The Greatest
Even the "Greatest" Muhammad Ali used the exerciser and became one of
their spokes model.
Our current Governor of California Arnold "The Terminator"
Schwarzenegger also used and modeled for the Bullworker.
Olympic Hope
In addition the German Olympic Power Lifting team of that time trained
with the Bullworker and some feel that the incredible results and
medals they achieved was mostly due to their Bullworker training.
But, The most visible proponent of the Bullworker was actually Bruce
Lee who at that time was a weight-training fanatic, until he injured
his body doing an exercise called "Good Mornings."
Warning Will Robinson
If you don't know what a "good morning" is, let me describe the
movement. Take a barbell and place it behind your neck and then bend
forward from the waist to till your head is at approximately waist
high.
Today no one should do that exercise since it has been recognized as a
very dangerous exercise.
So why haven't you heard of this muscle building miracle?
Well even thou Bob Hoffman and many of the U.S. Olympic Power lifting
were using the principles of Isometrics and achieved many wins.
Isometrics fell into disfavor.
This is fairly common in the fitness community. It seems we're always
on to the next fad or novelty.
Today Isometrics, which is one of the few training methods that
actually was backed by science (Muller, Hettinger Isometric Studies)
has made a resurgence and so has the Bullworker.
Better Than Ever
Since the patent for the product ran out years ago and a resurgence perhaps due to baby boomers a new "hybrid" Bullworker has recently emerged.
It's called the Bully Xtreme Home Gym and it offers all the features
of the old Bullworkers and then some.
Of course there has been much more learned regarding the proper way to
build muscle mass, so their training program has been totally
redesigned, including adding the knowledge and expertise of an NPC
Nationals Champion and NPC Judge.
Because over 29 different exercises can be done in a seated position
this has made the Bully Xtreme a very popular home gym for people that
are incapable due to injury, disability or distance to finally get a an
incredible muscle building workout in their home.
Incredible as it seems this exerciser gets the job done
Frank Sherrill, is a former U.S. Army Ranger and Martial Arts expert.
After surviving a horrific weight training accident, he spent years
researching and finally discovering an exercise program and home gym
that was as effective as free weights but, without all the RISK.
