For those in the states, you know the story...either by having watched it on TV or have read it in thepaper or heard of it on the news or on ESPN.  For those outside of the U.S., our Major League Baseball has a 'mid-season' all star game.  The night before it, there is a 'homerun hiting' contest, where various 'sluggers' try to make it through 3 rounds of hitting homeruns.  There was a man who plays for a team out of the Dallas, Texas area, the Texas Rangers, named Josh Hamilton.  When he was a young man out of High School, he was the #1 DRAFT choice.  A phenominal athlete who could do it all.  Fast forward a few years and up to 3 years ago, he was out of baseball, a drug addict, and on a few occasions almost died as a result of having overdosed on drugs.  Not to applaude this, but he went through some rough times.  He is recovered, or continues to recover everyday.  At one point he was about 150 lbs.  He has turned his life around.

Here in the states, it is election year.

Boy, this will be fun.  We have candidates that change positions weekly and others that should be supporting them stabbing them in the back with their tounge and others that are just flat out 'full of it'.

So.....this is why I choose not to watch much TV.  Recently I was in Europe for a trip for work for about 10 days.  I really enjoyed myself and met a slew of folks that i feel fortunate to call friends.

Is it just me or does it seem that we are somehow told to compare outselves to others.  'Look at the results of this guy!!!!Only 3 months....3 weeks....3 days....you, too, can look like this!!!"

The multi-lingual interface shoud be up and running now... for the first time the Bullworker Forums will be accessible accessible to people without a good grasp of English.

More languages will be added as time goes by, but for now, the main European languages should be available. If you click the small language icon in the top right hand side of each posting it will translate automatically into the language of your choice.

For example:

One of our own Forum members Dan The Viking has devised an INTENSE Bullworker workout regime.

He is an independent Personal Trainer when he's plundering and pillaging and his workout is not for the faint hearted - only the strongest will survive!

Here is a sample:

Train one day on, one day off. Train only 3 – 4 times in a 7 day period. Train doing 2 static reps of each exercise with a 5 – 10 second hold. Note, Static reps are done with 100% effort and held for 5 seconds. Hold the Bullworker in the contracted position – using the power meter as a guide – you must hold the contracted position at 100% of your strength and not allow the bullworker to move away from the point of maximum contraction for at least 5 seconds!!
