Am I a Koelbelianer or what?

It has already begun over 30 years ago - at that time I was a thin, limp herring the "Bullworker" of Koelbel bought. No, I'm not sponsored by the company, it must be said - virtually overnight put an exorbitant soreness a, suddenly connected to herausflutschenden knubbeln the arm and shoulder area, which turned out to be me hitherto unknown muscles. After a few months I had a wiry, muscular body. Sounds like AD, was a reality, I swear. Each subsequent bestowed me then the Powerman 1 + 3, the bending spiral Big Cobra and the rotation trainer. I was and am a fan of compressed home fitness equipment.

So over the past 15 to 20 years I was happy until I powered the end of 2014 asked what had become of the old Koelbels. So I came across the Isokinator, was irritated by the price as well as of the comments from the bodybuilder scene, as well as promotional videos made pretentious, but the uncompromising back guarantee and this consciousness of having always had good experiences with Koelbel let me buy.

Then it was there - tiny, high-top handles, made in Germany, expensive and delicate. With the training videos and the solid training plan I had already fed me, so ran to the machine. I am not the Muskelschwächste, but therein lies the problem: to fight against himself The stronger you are, the more resistance to runs.. The warm-up exercise for M1A Biceps / Triceps it had in itself. The M2A for the chest went down like butter, so I put them in my training plan to the end, Weil's with me even going when nothing else. But the surprise was the M4A for lateral shoulders. Here sat already during training a massive burning in the lateral deltoids, followed the day after by fine muscles. And the mentioned muscles, ie side / rear shoulder swollen within a few days to a lot.

However, I let myself between the individual exercises some time. For the seven exercises in 25 minutes - I can not do, because yes but most is handled by the arms and shoulders. I'm trying out three, four shake pause and go back with renewed vigor to the next season, as to rush me. Nice and slow and always so that it can go no further at the end.

That the iron men of the bodybuilder fraction laugh about it, I can understand to a certain extent. It is an amazing device for home or travel or to be stacked without hundredweight weights behind the cabinet. But who is on the psychological and physical feeling of real iron, for this is not enough. The thing's just a design dwarf, the weights are in a self that must gather one first. However, there are a lot of exercises in full-body workout area which are not affected by the Isokinator. So I see it himself as an excellent supplement, not everything else aside Legend ultimate training tool. But it's good. I will not give it back.

Needs improvement ... the slings. Without gloves I trial pits me it from the skin. Since it would be desirable that might be slightly wider or fed, given that they also tighten the train. And if this material (which I already knew from the Powerman), then it should Koelbel offer matching gloves maybe. Or actually put it. Just like the extension strap. As another reviewer wrote: The price those currently optional additions should be included. Invent exercises, but are saying "Well, since you need to buy something but to to make" - that is petty and does not correspond to the usual generous attitude.
