Do any of you know if you can replace the springs in the Iso 7 with springs from the Bullworker? Is it the exact same design? I'd probably want to have some heavy duty springs and I'm not sure if the Iso 7 is strong enough?? I'm 6'3 and a half and 250 pounds. It's probably just the same. The Classic springs are slightly shorter than a Bullworker II spring but they fit ok so probably would fit an Iso 7. I have used a strong spring in a Bullworker II just to see what it felt like but I didn't do a workout with it as I was very unsure the device was up to it. The only times I've used new springs in an old Bullworker is to put in a weaker spring to get higher reps. I prefer the handles on the old bullworkers to the Classic. I would not recommend using a stronger spring though as the device may not have been designed to handle that much resistance. The steel tube Classic is quite a bit heavier than the earlier bullworkers and this may be partly because they need to be stronger to handle the stronger springs. |

I'd probably want to have some heavy duty springs and I'm not sure if the Iso 7 is strong enough?? I'm 6'3 and a half and 250 pounds. The Iso 7x has a permanent spring with no access to remove/replace unless you drill out the rivets. I do not know if it is the exact internal design or what size spring is inside, meaning I do not know if one of the BW springs will fit inside the same way but it seems that it would. Hope this helps. Do you have a 7x? If so, is it too weak for you? I find the BW type designs work against you if you have longer arms due to leverage. Also, the closer the device is to your body the easier it is to compress (better leverage). No, I don't have one. I was asking the question hoping to get feedback from someone that has the Iso 7. Maybe it's all I need. I figured it wouldn't be an easy swap out like the newer Bullworkers that have the 3 and 5 spring options. I wouldn't mind owning the BW power pack combo that comes with the Iso-Flow and Iso-Bow along with the Classic Bow and Steel Bow with all the various springs. The steel bow might help to get better leverage, like you say, with some movements......but in Canada it's $699.99 plus tax (13%)...And I don't see myself biting on that price at all. Not even at $300. It's funny, I watched more than a few BW videos and a few of the "influencers" who get very little views in comparison with other fitness channels, seem to be getting gifted products,  . Maybe that is what I need to do. Start a channel and get a free Power Pack combo. I'm probably better off getting the Iso 7 ( $16 USD plus international shipping) and playing around with that and maybe a battling rope to get the friction type of training with battling rope pulls that the Iso-Flow would offer (not to mention other things I can do with a battling rope) and hunt for a Steel Bow second hand. Thanks for the detailed answer. |

If you have a Facebook account check out Marketplace. I've seen barely used Classics on there for not much money.

Also, check out any flea markets, garage sales, and thrift shops. Some on this board have found great deals on practically new bullworkers.

If I'm driving by one, chances are I pop in for a quick glance. Last week I found a Sklz Corewheels double ab roller for $10 (regular $55). Usually I'm in search for golf items, but the bullworker is going on the list. |
