Waiting to find one at a much more reasonable price Yeah. I like the looks of it, but I wouldn't pay that price. I paid I think $133 for a Sidewinder Pro and that has been worth it and the build quality is much higher than the Sotsky devices.

I think the bison 2 could be good but I'm imagining doing sort of iron horseshoe type exercises, it's a pity they don't seem to have made any videos of it that might show other uses.

Ok, just lubed both Bison's up and it's a noticeable difference. I don't think the factory lubed the Bison 'Super' enough, there's too much friction sound for my liking but now it's smooth as silk. My Bison-1M noisy friction wasn't as bad, but now it's....s-m-o-o-t-h....... I first wiped out the existing residue, and then used a general purpose lithium grease that I already had. Here's what I used... www.amazon.com/LubriMatic-11316-Multi-Purpose-Lithium-Grease/dp/B0016GTTTU

I bought one and it arrived yesterday. I like it. Will be using it to help me improve my pull-up bar hang time, one of my current fitness challenges.
Mine came from Belarus.

I bought one and it arrived yesterday... Mine came from Belarus. They all come from Belarus, but sometimes the various vendors will pre-ship them to an Amazon warehouse here in the states to cut down on the order wait time.... Which one did you get, the Bison-1M or the 'Super' ?

...and my advice after purchasing and using the two different models I have is to take them apart, clean out the inferior factory lube, and re-grease with a quality 'automotive' type of grease that's specifically formulated for lubricating rolling metal parts. ***Compatibility with polyurethane is also highly recommended. This stuff meets all of those requirements and made a night and day difference in both of my Bison's... www.amazon.com/LubriMatic-11316-Multi-Purpose-Lithium-Grease/dp/B0016GTTTU

Which one did you get, the Bison-1M or the 'Super' ? I bought the first one. Today I’m doing Bison x 1:00 plus Asian Squat x 1:00 E2:00 for 5 rounds, breakfast, lunch and dinner. I’m concentrating now on improving my pull-up hang time and believe the Bison work will help. Forearms endurance have been my weakest link. Stay tuned for updates.

Is there a video of the bison? My grip, wrists, and fingers get plenty of work between my jobs and exercise. I'm just curious what this thing does.
