IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious injury, read the following important precautions
before using the resistance system.
1. Read all instructions in this manual and all
arnings on the resistance system before
w
using the resistance system. Use the resistance system only as described in this manual.
2. It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure
that all users of the resistance system are
adequately informed of all precautions.
3. The resistance system is intended for home
use only. Do not use the resistance system in
any commercial, rental, or institutional setting.
4. Keep the resistance system indoors, away
from moisture and dust. Place the resistance
system on a level surface, with a mat
beneath it to protect the floor or carpet. Make
sure that there is enough clearance around
the resistance system to mount, dismount,
and use the resistance system.
5. Make sure that all parts are properly tight-
ened each time the resistance system is
used. Replace any worn parts immediately.
6. Keep children under 12 and pets away from
the resistance system at all times.
7. Keep hands and feet away from moving parts.
8. Always wear athletic shoes for foot protec-
tion while exercising.
The top frame is not designed to be used for
9.
pull-up exercises. Do not hang on the top
frame.
The resistance system is designed to sup-
10.
port a maximum user weight of 300 pounds.
11. If you purchase the optional lat bar, always
isconnect it from the short cables when per-
d
forming an exercise that does not require it.
12. Pull on the low pulley cable only while sitting
on the bench or standing on the base plate.
Pull on the high pulley cables only while sitting on the bench, with the seat in one of the
three positions closest to the upright base,
or while standing on the base plate.
13. The resistance system is designed to be
used with the included resistance, and the
resistance included with a MAX by WEIDER
MAX PACK. Do not use the resistance system with any other type of resistance.
14. When adding resistance, both ends of the
resistance bars must rest under the two “U”channels. Add and remove resistance bars
from the “U”-channels one resistance bar at
a time.
15. Keep clear of the area around the “U”-chan-
nels while the resistance system is in use.
Do not add or remove resistance bars from
the “U”-channels while the end of the long
cable is pulled out.
16. Make sure that the cables remain on the pul-
leys at all times. If the cables bind as you are
exercising, stop immediately and make sure
that the cables are on the pulleys. Replace all
cables at least every two years.
If you feel pain or dizziness while exercising,
17.
stop immediately and begin cooling down.

ASSEMBLY
Make Things Easier for Yourself
This manual is designed to ensure that the resistance system can be assembled successfully by
most people. However, it is important to realize
that the versatile resistance system has many
parts and that the assembly process will take
time. 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.

Note: A lat bar is an optional accessory for the
resistance system. To purchase a lat bar, call our
Customer Service Department toll-free at 1-877-9925999 and ask for model number WEMC0554.
ADJUSTING THE RESISTANCE
To add resistance, hold a “U”-channel on the 10pound Center Resistance Bar (44) firmly and push
the end of a resistance bar under it. Repeat with the
other end of the resistance bar. If more resistance is
needed, add one resistance bar at a time.

Note: When adding resistance, always start with the
heaviest resistance bar to be used, and finish with the
lightest resistance bar. When removing resistance bar
from the “U”-channels, start with the lightest resistance bar and finish with the heaviest.
WARNING: When adding resist-
ance, make sure that both ends of the resistance bar rest under the two “U”-channels. Do
not add or remove resistance bars from the
“U”-channels while an end of the Long Cable
(80) is pulled out.
Note: The resistance system uses progressive resistance. As the resistance bar begin to bend, the
amount of resistance will increase gradually. As the
resistance bar bend further, the resistance will
increase rapidly.
Additional resistance can be added to the resistance

Storage Knob (30) from the Upright (3). Lift the Front
Leg toward the Top Frame (10), and tighten the
Storage Knob into the side of the Upright and the
Bench Rail. Remove all of the resistance bars from
the “U”-channels on the 10-pound Center Resistance
Bar (44) (see ADJUSTING THE RESISTANCE on
page 14).
To move the resistance system, place the toe of your
shoe on the end of the Base (1) and hold the resistance system in the indicated area. Tilt the resistance

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 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 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 elliptical or
exercise bike, 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.
raining
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 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 page
18 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.

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

each stretch gradually and go only as far as you can

is an effective way to increase flexibility.
STAYING MOTIVATED
For motivation, keep a record of each workout. The
chart on page 19 of this manual can be photocopied
and used to schedule and record your workouts. 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.
