ASSEMBLY

Make Assembly Easier

Tighten all parts as you assemble them, unless

•

instructed to do otherwise.

This manual is designed to ensure that the
weight bench can be assembled successfully
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 persons.

• 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.

1.

To make assembly easier, make sure that
you understand the information in the box
above.

Locate the Stabilizer (4) without the warning decal.
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.

• As you assemble the weight bench, make sure all

arts are oriented as shown in the drawings.

p

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

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
wrenches, or a set of ratchet wrenches.

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.

The combination of strength training and aerobic exer-

ise will reshape and strengthen your body, plus devel-

c
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
bodyʼs 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.

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.

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 way 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 stroke of
each repetition should last about half as long as the

eturn stroke. Proper breathing is important. Exhale

r
during the exertion stroke of each repetition and

nhale during the return stroke. Never hold your

i
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.

nclude stretches for both your arms and legs. Move

I
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
is an effective way to increase flexibility.

STAYING MOTIVATED

For motivation, keep a record of each workout. Write
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. The key to achieving
the greatest results is to make exercise a regular and
enjoyable part of your everyday life.
