Anyone remember these?

[gsdx]

This is a Bullworker 4. They also have a Bullworker 5 now. I bought one of them many many many. . . many many many many many years ago - before they even had numbers at the end of the name.

Most useless contraption I ever bought.

(I wonder what the models use to get those muscles?)

One might mistake it for a phallus, thus the successful sales.

..... I bought one of them many many many. . . many many many many many years ago

So did I! When I was 18, in fact. I worked out on it religiously for about a month, I think, then it got put back in its box and never saw the light of day again!

This is getting scary. . .

I don't remember those.

But I remember these.

Hard to believe, isn't it! 1972 .... my first year at uni and away from home .... I was boarding privately and when the package arrived in the mail I clearly remember the look on Mrs M's face (the lady I boarded with) when she brought it to my room. She was dying to know what was in it, but I refused to open it in front of her. She was such a bloody old sticky beak!

Yes I bought one of these a long time ago. What was I thinking. I still have it and now it is juist one of those things I have had for so long I just hate to throw it away. I think I used it once or twice.

My old man used to have something similar called a chest-expander - three large springs between to wooden handles, some kind of S&M device if you ask me.

I don't remember those.

But I remember these.

i was never able to co-ordinate myself to try and use them successfully, all i remember is a lot of people laughing at me each time i tried to use the damn things.

i mean this was a bigger joke then my trying to learn how to dance - even with childhood lessons. my two feet just never understood the concept of when they should move and when they should stop - the result - i was always tripping over them.

tis it any wonder i never did well on the white circuit parties - besides being totally out of my element and my league and my mind. if i had dared attend one of those, they would have closed the place down within 2-3 minutes or my arrival and called for the riot police first and the men in the white coates next
so speaketh the local village idiot who is drifting tonight into oblivion (sp).

I just did a search on Ebay and found several different models.

Here is the Bullworker X5 at $134.24 (GBP 68.99). That's quite expensive! More about it:
