weights every time, dumbells would be my first choice because they are so versitile. second (and very close) would be the barbell.

i think the bullworker would be somewhere near them stupid stepper things :P

I wouldn't touch the bullworker with a barge-pole. Dumbells/Barbell with weights would be far better and as Dac says, more versatile choice

Plus, you'll get a good set of adjustable dumbells and plenty of spare weight which will last you forever for roughly the same price. On bullworkers, the bands wear out after a while and so they need constant replacing.

Also, free weights, particularly dumbells enable you to work your whole body and not just your chest and arms, as well as ironing out imbalances.

If you want to look really gay and stupid by just working your chest, do pressups which are free and don't cost you £75.
