ASSEMBLY
1.
Press two 50mm Round Outer Caps (12) onto the Stabilizer (4) that does not have warning decals.
Orient the Stabilizer (4) so that the indents are in the position shown, and attach the Stabilizer to the Front Leg (2) with two M10 x 63mm Carriage Bolts (18) and two M10 Nylon Locknuts (19). Do not tighten the Nylon
Locknuts yet.
Before beginning assembly, make sure that you have read and understand the information in the box above.
Before beginning assembly, carefully read the fol­lowing information and instructions:
• To hire an authorized service technician to assemble the weight bench, call 1-800-445-2480.
• Assembly requires two persons.
• 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.
• 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.
• Assembly requires 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.
Make Assembly Easier
Everything in this manual is designed to ensure that the weight bench can be assembled suc­cessfully by almost anyone. By setting aside plenty of time, assembly will go smoothly.

This section explains how to adjust the weight bench. See EXERCISE GUIDELINES on page 11 for important information about how to get the most benefit from your exercise program. Also, refer to the accompanying exer­cise guide to see the correct form for several exercises.
Make sure all parts are properly tightened each time you use the weight bench. 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.
ADJUSTMENT
ADJUSTING THE BACKREST
The Backrest (7) can be used in a declined posi­tion, a level position, or any of three inclined posi­tions. To adjust the Backrest, first remove the Locking Pin (21) from the Frame (1). Move the Backrest to the desired position, and reinsert the Locking Pin into the Frame and an adjustment hole in the Pivot Bracket (6).
WARNING: Make sure that the
Locking Pin (21) is fully inserted through the Frame (1) and the Pivot Bracket (6).

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 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 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 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 efficient way to get a complete and 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.
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 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 workout to workout.
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. See 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.
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
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. Make copies of the exercise logs found on page 13. 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.
