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.

13. Always fold the backrest out of the way when
performing squat exercises (see page 15). Do
not sit on the seat when the backrest is folded.

2. It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure
that all users of the weight bench are adequately informed of all precautions.
3. The weight bench is intended for home use
only. Do not use the weight bench in any
commercial, rental or institutional setting.

14. Do not stand with your back to the weight
bench when performing squat exercises (see
page 15). You should be able to see the
weight rests while exercising so that you can
safely return the barbell to the weight rests
when you finish the exercise.

4. Use the weight bench only on a level surface.
Cover the floor beneath the weight bench for
protection.

15. When using the backrest, make sure that the
adjustment tube is fully inserted into the
adjustment brackets on the uprights.

5. Inspect and tighten all parts each time you
use the weight bench. Replace any worn
parts immediately.

16. Always remove the lat tower or curl post
from the front leg before performing leg curl
or leg extension exercises with the leg lever
(see page 14).

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

17. When performing an exercise during which
you are sitting on the bench with your back
to the lat tower, make sure there is plenty of
space between your back and the weight carriage. Always lower the weight carriage in a
controlled manner. Never let the weight carriage drop.

7. Keep hands and feet away from moving parts.
8. Always wear athletic shoes for foot protection while exercising.
9. Do not use a barbell (not included) longer
than six feet with the weight bench.

18. Always set both weight rests and safety
spotters at the same height. Make sure that
the weight rests and safety spotters are
turned so the locking pins are hooked
around the uprights.

10. Always make sure there is an equal amount
of weight on each side of your barbell.
11. The weight bench is designed to support a
maximum of 460 pounds, including the user,
a barbell and weights. Do not place more
than 210 pounds, including a barbell and
weights, on the weight rests. Do not place
more than 130 pounds on the weight carriage.
Do not place more than 130 pounds on the
leg lever for normal use.

19. Always exercise with a partner. When you
are performing bench press exercises, squat
exercises or toe raise exercises, your partner
should stand behind you to catch the barbell
if you cannot complete a repetition.
20. If you feel pain or dizziness at any time while
exercising, stop immediately and begin cooling down.

12. Always place 50 pounds on the leg lever to
balance the bench when performing squat
exercises (see page 15).

19. Make sure that all parts are properly tightened before you use the weight bench. The use of all
remaining parts will be explained in ADJUSTING THE WEIGHT BENCH, beginning on the next page.

Adjusting the Weight Bench
This section explains how to adjust the weight bench. See the EXERCISE GUIDELINES on page 17 for important information on how to get the most benefit from your exercise program. Also, refer to the accompanying
exercise poster to see the correct form for each exercise.
Inspect and tighten all parts 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.
ADJUSTING THE BACKREST
1

The Backrest (15) can be set to four different positions: a
level position, two decline positions and an incline position.

To change the position of the Backrest (15), move the
Adjustment Tube (29) to a different set of adjustment
brackets in the Uprights (1, 37). To set the Backrest (15)
to the lowest decline position, remove the Adjustment
Tube (29) and lower the Backrest directly onto the
Crossbar (20).

USING THE WEIGHT RESTS AND SAFETY SPOTTERS
Before beginning an exercise, insert the Weight Rests
(21, 58) and the Safety Spotters (56, 57) into the holes in
the Uprights (1, 37) that are best suited for the exercise.
The selected holes should be at the lowest point to which
you want your barbell to go during the exercise. Perform
the exercise as shown on the accompanying exercise
poster. Note: Make sure that the locking clips are
hooked around the Uprights.
Important: The Safety Spotters (56, 57) are designed
to be safety devices. Their primary function is to minimize the risk of injury if the barbell is dropped during
standing exercises. The Safety Spotters are deliberately designed to bend when hit with a barbell loaded
with heavy weights. This minimizes the risk of the
barbell bouncing off the Safety Spotters and causing
injury to the user. If you accidentally bend the Safety
Spotters, please call our Customer Service
Department (see the front cover of this manual) to
order replacement Safety Spotters.
WARNING: Always set both weight rests and both
safety spotters at the same height.

Knob (36). Make sure that you fully tighten the
Adjustment Knob.
When the Lat Tower or Curl Post are not in use, they
can be stored in the vertical tube on the Left
Stabilizer (25, see the inset drawing). However, for
some exercises, you should store these parts away
from the weight bench so they do not interfere with
your exercise.

Exercise Guidelines
THE FOUR BASIC TYPES OF WORKOUTS

PERSONALIZING YOUR EXERCISE PROGRAM

Muscle Building
The only way to increase the size and strength of your
muscles is to push them close to their maximum
capacity. When you progressively increase the intensity of your exercise, your muscles will continually adapt
and grow. You can tailor the individual exercise to the
proper intensity level in two ways:
¥ by changing the amount of weight used
¥ by changing the number of repetitions or sets performed. (A ÒrepetitionÓ is one complete cycle of an
exercise, such as one sit-up. A ÒsetÓ is a series of
repetitions.)

Specifying the exact length of time for each workout,
as well as the number of repetitions or sets for each
exercise, is a highly individual matter. It is very 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 bodyÕs 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 obviously 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.

Each workout should include 6 to 10 different exercises. Select exercises for every major muscle group
with emphasis on the areas that you want to develop
the 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.

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.

EXERCISE FORM
You will gain the greatest benefits from exercising by
maintaining proper form. 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 poster accompanying this manual,
you will find photographs showing the correct form for
several exercises. A description of each exercise is
also provided, along with a list of the muscles affected. Refer to the muscle chart on page 18 to find the
locations of the muscles.

Cross Training
Many people desire a complete and well-balanced fitness program, and cross training is a very efficient
way to accomplish this. One 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.

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!

You should rest for a short period of time after each
set. The ideal resting periods are:
¥ Rest three minutes after each set for a muscle building workout
¥ Rest one minute after each set for a toning workout
¥ Rest 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.

each stretch gradually and go only as far as you can
without strain. Stretching at the end of each workout is
very effective for increasing 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 weight plus 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
slowly as you stretch and do not bounce. Ease into
