I found that they are still making these things. The muscle building never worked for me when I had one in the 70's



Or did someone of these instead?

My dad had one, but he was well ripped from his hours in the Gym lifting weights.

It’s funny you posted this as out of curiosity I googled these things a few weeks back. I see they’re still selling at around the 100 quid mark. I had one when i was at school but ended up joining Jim’s Gym in Lye where is stayed for many years. Didn’t Pete Shilton advertise these things or am I getting mixed up with something else?

I don't remember Shilton advertising billworkers on TV but a quick google search said that he did. I remember my dad using a chest expander which apparently were all the rage in the 60's. I also used a spring bendy bar in the 70's, but was just as rubbish

They were always being advertised in the American comics I used to collect. Batman etc. Along with Charles Atlas body building cr*p. I always wanted some of the X-ray specs thinking I would be able to see behind girls clothes The Yanks always seemed to have cool stuff for kids compared to us in the UK.
