I recently reviewed the steel bow which I bought at the same time as my bullworker.They both complement each other very well. Whilst they are not as good - or as effective as weights - they are much more convenient. When you travel once a fortnight interstate or overseas this is important.I would highly recommend buying both. Some exercises are more effective on the larger bullworker and some are far better with the steel bow. Also it has encouraged my 6 year old daughter to exercise with me which is a definite plus. In fact I am thinking of buying a steel bow for her. My wife has also expressed interest as the exercising looks safe and fun so it is a healthy and fun device.I hope this helps anyone considering this item.
