ASSEMBLY
ake Assembly Easier
M
Everything in this manual is designed to ensure
hat the weight bench can be assembled suc-
t
cessfully by anyone. Most people find that by
setting aside plenty of time, assembly will go
smoothly.
Before beginning assembly, carefully read the
following information and instructions:
Assembly requires two people.
•
• 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.
• Tighten all parts as you assemble them, unless
nstructed to do otherwise.
i
• For help identifying small parts, use the PART
IDENTIFICATION CHART.
The included hex keys and the following tools (not included) may be required for
assembly:
• Two adjustable wrenches
• One rubber mallet
• One standard screwdriver
• One Phillips screwdriver
• Clear tape or masking tape, and soapy water.
Assembly will be more convenient if you have a
socket set, a set of open-end or closed-end
wrenches, or a set of ratchet wrenches.

ADJUSTMENTS
This section explains how to adjust the weight bench. See the EXERCISE GUIDELINES on page 10 for important information about how to get the most benefit from your exercise program. Also, refer to the accompanying

EXERCISE GUIDELINES
THE FOUR BASIC TYPES OF WORKOUTS
Muscle Building
To increase the size and strength of your muscles, push
them close to their maximum capacity. Your muscles will
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 weight used
• by changing the number of repetitions or sets per-
formed. (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 weight for each exercise depends
upon the individual user. You must gauge your limits
and select the amount of weight 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 weight.
Toning
ou can tone your muscles by pushing them to a mod
Y
erate percentage of their capacity. Select a moderate
amount of weight 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 weight.
Weight Loss
To lose weight, use a low amount of weight 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 T
Cross training is an efficient way to get a complete and
well-balanced fitness program. An example of a balanced program is:

• 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 exercise cycle or
an elliptical exerciser, 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.
PERSONALIZING YOUR EXERCISE PROGRAM
Determining the appropriate length of time for each
workout, and the numbers of repetitions or sets to complete, is an individual matter. It is important to avoid
overdoing it during the first few months of your exercise
program. Progress at your own pace and be sensitive to
your body’
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.
ARMING UP
W
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, empha
sizing areas that you want to develop most. To give balance and variety to your workouts, vary the exercises
from session to session.

energy level is the highest. Each workout should be fol-
owed by at least one day of rest. Once you find the
l
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 a short period of time after each set. The ideal
resting periods are:
• Rest for three minutes after each set for a muscle
building workout.
Rest for one minute after each set for a toning work-
•
out.
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
each stretch gradually and go only as far as you can
without strain. Stretching at the end of each workout is
an effective way to increase flexibility.
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.
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.
