IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS
WARNING:

To reduce the risk of serious injury, read all important precautions and
instructions in this manual and all warnings on your weight bench before using your weight bench.
ICON assumes no responsibility for personal injury or property damage sustained by or through the
use of this product.
1. Before beginning any exercise program,
consult your physician. This is especially
important for persons over age 35 or persons
with pre-existing health problems.

10. Always wear athletic shoes for foot protection while using the weight bench.
11. The weight bench is designed to support a
maximum user weight of 300 lbs. (136 kg),
and a maximum total weight of 380 lbs.
(172 kg). Do not place more than 80 lbs. (36
kg), including a barbell and weights, on the
weight rests. Do not place more than 30 lbs.
(14 kg) on each fly arm. Do not place more
than 50 lbs. (23 kg) on the leg lever.

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

12. Do not use a barbell that is longer than five
ft. (1.5 m) with the weight bench.
13. Always place the same amount of weight
on both ends of the barbell. While adding or
removing weights, always keep some weight
on both ends of the barbell to prevent the
barbell from tipping. Always secure weights
with the spring collars.

5. Keep the weight bench indoors, away from
moisture and dust. Do not put the weight
bench in a garage or covered patio, or near
water.
6. Place the weight bench on a level surface,
with enough clearance around the weight
bench to mount, dismount, and use the
weight bench. To protect the floor or carpet
from damage, place a mat under the weight
bench.

14. Before using the leg lever, place the barbell with the same amount of weight on the
weight rests to balance the bench.
15. Before using the backrest in an inclined
position or a level position, make sure that
the backrest support is inserted fully into the
uprights and that it is turned to the locked
position.

7. Inspect and properly tighten all parts regularly. Replace any worn parts immediately.
8. Keep children under age 12 and pets away
from the weight bench at all times.

16. Over exercising may result in serious injury
or death. If you feel faint or if you experience
pain while exercising, stop immediately and
cool down.

9. Keep hands and feet away from moving
parts.

EXERCISE GUIDELINES
FOUR TYPES OF STRENGTH WORKOUTS

workout, and the numbers of repetitions and sets to
complete. Progress at your own pace and be sensitive
to your body’’s signals. Follow each workout with at
least one day of rest.

Note: A ““repetition”” is one complete cycle of an
exercise, such as one sit-up. A ““set”” is a series of
repetitions.

Warming Up——Start with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching and light exercise. A warm-up increases your body
temperature, heart rate, and circulation in preparation
for exercise.

Muscle Building——Work your muscles near their maximum capacity and progressively increase the intensity
of your exercise. Adjust the intensity level of an individual exercise as follows:
•• Change the amount of resistance used.
•• Change the number of repetitions or sets performed.

Working Out——Include 6 to 10 different exercises in
each workout. Select exercises for every major muscle
group, emphasizing areas that you want to develop.
To give balance and variety to your workouts, vary the
exercises from workout to workout.

Use your own judgment to determine 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.

Cooling Down——Finish with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching. Stretching increases the flexibility of your muscles
and helps to prevent post-exercise problems.

Toning——Tone your muscles by working 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.

EXERCISE FORM
Move through the full range of motion for each exercise and move only the appropriate parts of the body.
Perform the repetitions in each set smoothly and
without pausing. The exertion stage of each repetition should last about half as long as the return stage.
Exhale during the exertion stage of each repetition and
inhale during the return stroke. Never hold your breath.

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.

Rest for a short period of time after each set:
•• Muscle Building——Rest for three minutes after each
set.
•• Toning——Rest for one minute after each set.
•• Weight Loss——Rest for 30 seconds after each set.

Cross Training——Combine strength training and aerobic exercise by following this type of program:
•• Strength training workouts on Monday, Wednesday,
and Friday.
•• 20 to 30 minutes of aerobic exercise on Tuesday and
Thursday.
•• One full day of rest each week to give your body time
to regenerate.

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 once
a month. To achieve good results, make exercise a
regular and enjoyable part of your life.

WORKOUT GUIDELINES
Familiarize yourself with the equipment and learn the
proper form for each exercise. Use your own judgment
to determine the appropriate length of time for each
