ASSEMBLY
Make Assembly Easier
ighten all parts as you assemble them, unless
• T
instructed to do otherwise.
Everything in this manual is designed to ensure
that the weight bench can be assembled successfully by almost anyone. However, the weight
bench has many parts and the assembly
process will take time. By setting aside plenty of
time, assembly will go smoothly.
To hire an authorized service technician to
assemble the weight bench, call toll-free
1-800-445-2480.
Before beginning assembly, carefully read the
following information and instructions:
Because of its weight and size, the weight bench
•
should be assembled in the location where it will
be used. Make sure that there is enough clearance to walk around the weight bench as you
assemble it.
• Place all parts in a cleared area and remove the
packing materials. Do not dispose of the packing
materials until assembly is completed.
• As you assemble the weight bench, make sure all
parts are oriented as shown in the drawings.
• Assembly requires two persons.
• For help identifying small parts, use the PART
IDENTIFICATION CHART.
In addition to the included grease, assembly
may require the following tools (not included):
Two adjustable wrenches
•
One rubber mallet
•
• One standard screwdriver
• One Phillips screwdriver
Assembly may be more convenient if you have a
socket set, a set of open-end or closed-end
wrenches, or a set of ratchet wrenches.

Before beginning assembly, make sure
that you have read and understand the
information in the box above. See the
PART IDENTIFICATION CHART on page 5
for help identifying small parts.

ADJUSTMENTS
This section explains how to adjust the weight bench. See the EXERCISE GUIDELINES on page 13 for impor-
ant information about how to get the most benefit from your exercise program. Also, refer to the accompanying
t
exercise guide to see the correct form for each exercise.
Make sure all parts are properly tightened each time you use the weight bench. Replace any worn parts immediate-
y. The weight bench can be cleaned with a damp cloth and a mild, non-abrasive detergent. Do not use solvents.

EXERCISE GUIDELINES
THE FOUR BASIC TYPES OF WORKOUTS
Muscle Building
o increase the size and strength of your muscles,
T
push them close to their maximum capacity. Your muscles will continually adapt and grow as you progressively increase the intensity of your exercise. You can
adjust the intensity level of an individual exercise in
two ways:
• by changing the amount of resistance used
• by changing the number of repetitions or sets performed. (A “repetition” is one complete cycle of an
exercise, such as one sit-up. A “set” is a series of
repetitions.)
The proper amount of resistance for each exercise
depends upon the individual user. You must gauge
your limits and select the amount of resistance that is
right for you. Begin with 3 sets of 8 repetitions for each
exercise you perform. Rest for 3 minutes after each
set. When you can complete 3 sets of 12 repetitions
without difficulty, increase the amount of resistance.
Toning
You can tone your muscles by pushing them to a moderate percentage of their capacity. Select a moderate
amount of resistance and increase the number of repetitions in each set. Complete as many sets of 15 to
20 repetitions as possible without discomfort. Rest for
1 minute after each set. Work your muscles by completing more sets rather than by using high amounts of
resistance.
Weight Loss
To lose weight, use a low amount of resistance and
increase the number of repetitions in each set.
Exercise for 20 to 30 minutes, resting for a maximum
of 30 seconds between sets.
Cross Training
Cross training is an ef
well-balanced fitness program. An example of a balanced program follows:
Plan strength training workouts on Monday,
•
Wednesday, and Friday.
• Plan 20 to 30 minutes of aerobic exercise, such as
running on a treadmill or riding on an elliptical exerciser or exercise cycle, on Tuesday and Thursday.
• Rest from both strength training and aerobic exercise
for at least one full day each week to give your body
time to regenerate.
The combination of strength training and aerobic exercise will reshape and strengthen your body, plus develop your heart and lungs.
ficient way to get a complete and
PERSONALIZING YOUR EXERCISE PROGRAM
Determining the exact length of time for each workout,
s well as the number of repetitions or sets completed,
a
is an individual matter. It is important to avoid overdoing it during the first few months of your exercise program. You should progress at your own pace and be
sensitive to your body’s signals. If you experience pain
or dizziness at any time while exercising, stop immediately and begin cooling down. Find out what is wrong
before continuing. Remember that adequate rest and a
proper diet are important factors in any exercise program.
WARMING UP
Begin each workout with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching
and light exercise to warm up. Warming up prepares
your body for more strenuous exercise by increasing
circulation, raising your body temperature and delivering more oxygen to your muscles.
WORKING OUT
Each workout should include 6 to 10 different exercises. Select exercises for every major muscle group,
emphasizing areas that you want to develop most. To
give balance and variety to your workouts, vary the
exercises from session to session.
Schedule your workouts for the time of day when your
energy level is the highest. Each workout should be
followed by at least one day of rest. Once you find the
schedule that is right for you, stick with it.
EXERCISE FORM
Maintaining proper form is an essential part of an
effective exercise program. This requires moving
through the full range of motion for each exercise, and
moving only the appropriate parts of the body
Exercising in an uncontrolled manner will leave you
feeling exhausted. On the exercise guide accompanying this manual you will find photographs showing the
correct form for several exercises, and a list of the
muscles affected. Refer to the muscle chart on the
next page to find the names of the muscles.
The repetitions in each set should be performed
smoothly and without pausing. The exertion stage of
each repetition should last about half as long as the
return stage. Proper breathing is important. Exhale
during the exertion stage of each repetition and inhale
during the return stroke. Never hold your breath.

• Rest for 30 seconds after each set for a weight loss
workout.
Plan to spend the first couple of weeks familiarizing
yourself with the equipment and learning the proper
form for each exercise.
COOLING DOWN
End each workout with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching.
Include stretches for both your arms and legs. Move
slowly as you stretch and do not bounce. Ease into
ach stretch gradually and go only as far as you can
e
without strain. Stretching at the end of each workout
s an effective way to increase flexibility.
i
STAYING MOTIVATED
For motivation, keep a record of each workout. List the
date, the exercises performed, the resistance used,
and the numbers of sets and repetitions completed.
Make copies of the exercise logs found on pages 15
and 16. Use the logs to record your weight and key
body measurements at the end of every month.
Remember, the key to achieving the greatest results is
to make exercise a regular and enjoyable part of your
everyday life.
