ASSEMBLY

• For help identifying small parts, use the PART
IDENTIFICATION CHART on page 5.

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
instructed to do otherwise.

Before beginning assembly, carefully read the fol-
lowing information and instructions:

• Assembly requires two people.

• Because of its 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.

Orient the Crossbar (3) so that the warning decals
are on top. Attach the Crossbar to an Upright (1)
with two M8 x 55mm Bolts (18), two M8 Washers
(16), and two M8 Nylon Locknuts (17). Do not

tighten the Nylon Locknuts yet.

Attach the Crossbar (3) to the other Upright
(1) in the same way.

The included grease and the following tools (not
included) may be required for assembly:

Two adjustable wrenches
One rubber mallet
One standard screwdriver

One Phillips screwdriver (_
Assembly will be more convenient if you have a

socket set, a set of open-end or closed-end

ADJUSTMENT

The steps below explain how the weight bench can be adjusted. See the accompanying exercise guide to see
the correct form for several exercises.

Make sure all parts are properly tightened each time the weight bench is used. Replace any worn parts immediately.
The weight bench can be cleaned with a damp cloth and a mild, non-abrasive detergent; do not use solvents.

ADJUSTING THE BACKREST

The Backrest (6) can be used in a declined position,
a level position, or any of three inclined positions. To

use the Backrest in a declined position, remove the
Support Rod (7) and lay the Backrest on the Crossbar

(3).

To use the Backrest (6) in a level position or an
inclined position, insert the Support Rod (7) into a set

of holes in the Uprights (1). Rotate the Support Rod
to the locked position, with the locking pin wrapped
around the left Upright. Rest the Backrest on the
Support Rod.

For some exercises, the Curl Pad (45) must be
attached to the weight bench. Remove the 30mm
Square Inner Cap (22) from the Front Leg (8). Insert
the Curl Post (27) into the Front Leg, and align an
adjustment hole in the Curl Post with the adjustment

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 mus-
cles will continually adapt and grow as you progres-
sively 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 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 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 mod-
erate percentage of their capacity. Select a moderate

amount of resistance and increase the number of rep-
etitions 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 com-

pleting 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 efficient way to get a complete and

well-balanced fitness program. An example of a bal-
anced 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 exer-

ciser 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 exer-
cise will reshape and strengthen your body, plus devel-
op your heart and lungs.

PERSONALIZING YOUR EXERCISE PROGRAM

Determining the appropriate length of time for each
workout, and the numbers of repetitions and sets to

complete, is an individual matter. Avoid overdoing it
during the first few months of your exercise program.
Progress at your own pace and be sensitive to your
body's signals. If you experience pain or dizziness
while exercising, stop immediately and cool 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 deliver-
ing more oxygen to your muscles.

WORKING OUT

Each workout should include 6 to 10 different exercis-
es. 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 accompany-
ing 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 stage. Never hold your breath.

12

Rest for a short period of time after each set. The
ideal resting periods follow:

• 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

C
D

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 achiev-
ing the greatest results is to make exercise a regular

and enjoyable part of your everyday life.
