(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 ade-
quately informed of all precautions.
11. Do not use a barbell that is longer than five
ft. (1.5 m) with the weight bench.
4. The weight bench is intended for home use
only. Do not use the weight bench in any
commercial, rental, or institutional setting.
12. Always make sure there is an equal amount
of weight on each side of your barbell when
you are using it. When adding or removing
weights, always keep some weight on both
ends of the barbell to prevent the barbell
from tipping.
5. Keep the weight bench indoors, away from
moisture and dust. Place the weight bench
on a level surface, with a mat beneath it to
protect the floor or carpet. Make sure that
there is enough clearance around the weight
bench to mount, dismount, and use the
weight bench.
13. When you are using the leg lever, place a
barbell with the same amount of weight on
the weight rests to balance the bench.
14. When using the backrest in an inclined or
level position, make sure that the support rod
is inserted completely through the uprights
and turned to the locked position.
6. Inspect and properly tighten all parts regular-
ly. Replace any worn parts immediately.
7. Keep children under the age of 12 and pets
away from the weight bench at all times.

ASSEMBLY
• For help identifying small parts, use the PART
Make Things Easier for Yourself
IDENTIFICATION CHART on page 5.
Everything in this manual is designed to ensure
that the weight bench can be assembled suc-
cessfully by almost anyone. By setting aside
plenty of time, assembly will go smoothly.
• As you assemble the weight bench, make sure all
parts are oriented as shown in the drawings.
• Tighten all parts as you assemble them, unless
instructed to do otherwise.
Before beginning assembly, carefully read the fol-
lowing information and instructions:
• The included grease and the following tools (not
included) may be required for assembly:
• Assembly requires two people.
Two adjustable wrenches
One rubber mallet
• Because of its 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.
One standard screwdriver
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.
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.

adjust the intensity level of an individual exercise in
two ways:
during the first few months of your exercise program.
Progress at your own pace and be sensitive to your
body’s 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.
• 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.)
WARMING UP
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

and light exercise to warm up. Warming up prepares

emphasizing areas that you want to develop most. To

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 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.
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.
Cross Training
Cross training is an efficient way to get a complete and Exercising in an uncontrolled manner will leave you

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 the
next page to find the names of the muscles.
• 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 exer-
ciser or exercise cycle, on Tuesday and Thursday.

Rest for a short period of time after each set. The
ideal resting periods follow:
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.
• Rest for three minutes after each set for a muscle
building workout.
• Rest for one minute after each set for a toning work-
out.
STAYING MOTIVATED
• Rest for 30 seconds after each set for a weight loss
workout.
For motivation, keep a record of each workout. 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 achiev-
ing the greatest results is to make exercise a regular
and enjoyable part of your everyday life.
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
