1.
Read all instructions in this manual before
using the weight bench. Use the weight
bench only as described in this manual.
2.
It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure
that all users of the weight bench are ade-
quately 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.
4.
Use the weight bench only on a level surface.
Cover the floor beneath the weight bench to
protect the floor.
5.
Inspect and tighten all parts each time you
use the weight bench. Replace any worn
parts immediately.
6.
Keep children under the age of 12 and pets
away from the weight bench at all times.
7. Keep hands and feet away from moving parts.
8.
Always wear athletic shoes for foot protec-
tion while exercising.
9.
Do not use a barbell (not included) longer
than 1.8 m (6 ft.) with the weight bench.
10. When you are using a barbell (not included),
always make sure there is an equal amount
of weight on each side.
11. The weight bench is designed to support a
maximum of 208 kg (460 lbs.), including the
user, a barbell and weights. Do not place
more than 95 kg (210 lbs.), including a bar-
bell and weights on the weight rests. Do not
place more than 59 kg (130 lbs.) on the leg
lever for normal use.
12. Always place 23 kg (50 lbs.) on the leg lever
to balance the bench when performing squat
exercises (see page 12).
13. Always fold the backrest out of the way when
performing squat exercises (see page 11). Do
not sit on the seat when the backrest is folded.
14. Do not stand with your back to the weight
bench when performing squat exercises (see
page 11). 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.
15. When using the backrest, make sure the
adjustment tube is fully inserted into the
adjustment brackets on the uprights.
16. Always remove the curl post from the front
leg before performing leg curl or leg exten-
sion exercises with the leg lever (see page
12).
17. Always set both weight rests at the same
height. The adjustment knobs must be insert-
ed through both the uprights and the weight
rests and firmly tightened into the welded
nuts. Never tighten the adjustment knobs
into the uprights and then set the weight
rests in the uprights on top of the adjustment
knobs.
18. 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.
19. If you feel pain or dizziness at any time while
exercising, stop immediately and begin cool-
ing down.
Important Precautions
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 work-
out.
• Rest for 30 seconds after each set for a weight loss
workout.
Plan to spend the first couple of weeks familiarising
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
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
chart on page 15 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 com-
pleted. Record your weight and key body measure-
ments 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.
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of serious injury, read the following important precautions
before using the weight bench.
WARNING:
Before beginning this or any exercise program, consult your physician. This
is especially important for persons over the age of 35 or persons with pre-existing health problems.
