i remember when these came out mate dont bother they were a fad in the late 80's theres a reason they aint around much anymore, you dont need em stand with oyur back against a wall and keep your elbows in contact with the wall it performs the same function and it free!. theres a reason arnie uses this stuff MONEY the only real motivation the guy ever had, he also put his name to "spendy" a spring chest expander you think he built his frame usin that, dont think so, cant stand the bloke.

personally arnies my hero, n although he probably got paid for endorsing these products in the past he would of had no reason unless he fealt it worked to include the arm isolator in his new encyclopedia of modern bodybuilding, also many other top bodybuilders frequently today stil use them such as ronnie coleman, and this guy has 23inch arms!

i got one, dont use it very much, i found it would cut into the back of the kneck after a while. cos the padding wheres off.

myne was 20 aswell

dont be so nieve mate the pros use this stuff because of sponsorship, arnie was never a nice guy he used alot of dirty tricks in the competitions. the armblaster has been around for years mate if it was magic we'd all have one by now. try it against a wall its just the same principle.

Bump for Gary, Do you really think ronnie coleman got big arms by using a "Super Magical Bicep Isolator"...... no not really eh??

joe16 · 06-04-2005, 02:29 PM

dirty tricks or not, he still had the best body of all time and is even listed in the guiness world records as having the most perfect body of all time. u dnt win 7mr olympias by fluke, and besides alot of people say he used dirty tricks especialy beatin lou ferrigno in 1975, if u notice yeh he pyshced him out but when it came to the pose off his body was better and he deserved to win. in relation to the arm blaster, he also states it is a great piece of equipment that he regually used, why would he endorse it stil after its bin 25years since he last competed, not like he is stil being paid for sayin good things bout it

My training partner and I have been using one for a few weeks but we use it AND stand against the wall. I find it brings the elbows slightly forward for a good stretch and works the biceps slightly different to further back.

I aggree about arnie though, Damned good BB (one of if not the best) but a total ****!
Enodrsement is the big money maker for all sportsmen/women, but its funny how none of them talk about their gear routine to get the size they are. Its always pissed me right off that they adviseeat this and train like this, but neglect the OTHER factor. BASTARDS! :shock:

the bi isolator is just about like a preacher curl standing. you can make one cheaper than you could buy it. or try this, if you go to a gym that has a high low cable machine put a grip on the low cable, i like to switch them between a v grip or rope and a straight bar and sit on a bench facing it, get a good grip and extend your arms till theyre a straight line with the cable and do your curls. this one is about strict form, try not to let your elbows go down, lean back a little and curl to your forehead. about the same thing except you dont have a piece of plastic keeping your arms straight. a good workout imo.
