IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS
WARNING:

To reduce the risk of serious injury, read the following important precautions
before using the weight bench.
1. Read all instructions in this manual before
using the weight bench. Use the weight
bench only as described in this manual.

10. Make sure that the cable remains on the pulleys at all times. If the cable binds as you are
exercising, stop immediately and make sure
that the cable is on the pulleys.

2. It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure
that all users of the weight bench are adequately informed of all precautions.

11. The weight bench is designed to support a
maximum user weight of 250 pounds, and a
maximum total weight of 560 pounds. Do not
place more than 310 pounds, including the
barbell, on the weight rests. Do not place
more than 200 pounds on the weight carriage
or more than 150 pounds on the leg lever.
Note: The weight bench is designed to be
used with an Olympic barbell. The weight
bench does not include a barbell or weights.

3. The weight bench is intended for home use
only. Do not use the weight bench in any
commercial, rental, or institutional setting.
4. Use the weight bench only on a level surface.
Cover the floor beneath the weight bench to
protect the floor.
5. Make sure all parts are properly tightened
each time you use the weight bench. Replace
any worn parts immediately.

12. Always place an equal amount of weight on
each side of the weight carriage or barbell.
13. Always exercise with a partner. Your partner
should be ready to catch the barbell if you
cannot complete a repetition.

6. Keep children under 12 and pets away from
the weight bench at all times.

8. Always wear athletic shoes for foot protection while exercising.

14. Always move the bench out of the way when
performing squat exercises. Always disconnect the lat bar from the cable when performing an exercise that does not require it.

9. Always set both weight rests and both
weight spotters at the same height.

15. If you feel pain or dizziness at any time while
exercising, stop immediately and cool down.

7. Keep hands and feet away from moving parts.

ASSEMBLY
• As you assemble the weight bench, make sure all
parts are oriented as shown in the drawings.

Make Things Easier for Yourself
Everything in this manual is designed to ensure
that the weight bench can be assembled successfully by anyone. However, it is important to
realize that the versatile weight bench 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.

• For help identifying small parts, use the PART
IDENTIFICATION CHART.
The following tools (not included) are required
for assembly:
• Two adjustable wrenches
• One rubber mallet

Before beginning assembly, carefully read the
following information and instructions:

• One standard screwdriver

• Assembly requires two people.

• One Phillips screwdriver

• Place all parts in a cleared area and remove the
packing materials. Do not dispose of the packing
materials until assembly is completed.

• Lubricant, such as grease or petroleum jelly,
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.

• Tighten all parts as you assemble them, unless
instructed to do otherwise.

EXERCISE GUIDELINES
THE FOUR BASIC TYPES OF WORKOUTS

PERSONALIZING YOUR EXERCISE PROGRAM

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 weight used
• by changing the number of repetitions or sets performed. (A “repetition” is one complete cycle of an
exercise, such as one sit-up. A “set” is a series of repetitions.)

Determining the exact length of time for each workout,
as well as the number of repetitions or sets completed,
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

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.

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

Toning
You can tone your muscles by pushing them to a moderate 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 Training
Cross training is an efficient way to get a complete and
well-balanced fitness program. An example of a balanced program is:
• Plan weight training workouts on Monday,
Wednesday, and Friday.
• Plan 20 to 30 minutes of aerobic exercise, such as
cycling or swimming, on Tuesday and Thursday.
• Rest from both weight training and aerobic exercise
for at least one full day each week to give your body
time to regenerate.
The combination of weight training and aerobic exercise will reshape and strengthen your body, plus develop your heart and lungs.

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 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 page 17 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.

16

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 workout.
• 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.

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. The
charts on pages 18 and 19 of this manual can be photocopied and used to schedule and record your workouts. List the date, the exercises performed, the
weight 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.

COOLING DOWN
End each workout with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching.
Include stretches for both your arms and legs. Move
