Important Precautions  
WARNING:  
To reduce the risk of serious injury, read the following important precautions  
before using the weight rack.  
1. Read all instructions in this manual before  
using the weight rack. Use the weight rack  
only as described in this manual.  
10. Always set both short weight rests and both  
long weight rests at the same height.  
11. Always secure your weights with weight col-  
lars or clips when they are mounted on your  
barbell (not included).  
2. It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure  
that all users of the weight rack are ade-  
quately informed of all precautions.  
12. When performing standing exercises, stand  
inside the area that is shaded in the drawing  
below.  
3. The weight rack is intended for home use  
only. Do not use the weight rack in any com-  
mercial, rental, or institutional setting.  
4. Use the weight rack only on a level surface.  
Cover the floor beneath the weight rack to  
protect the floor or carpet.  
5. If you feel pain or dizziness at any time while  
exercising, stop immediately and begin cool-  
ing down.  
6. Inspect and tighten all parts each time you  
use the weight rack. Replace any worn parts  
immediately.  
7. Always exercise with a partner. When you  
are performing bench press exercises or  
squat exercises, your partner should stand  
behind you to catch the barbell if you cannot  
complete a repetition.  
8. Always make sure there is an equal amount  
of weight on each side of your barbell (not  
included).  
13. Keep children under 12 and pets away from  
the weight rack at all times.  
9. Do not place more than 310 pounds, includ-  
ing the barbell, on the weight rests.  
14. Always wear athletic shoes for foot protec-  
tion while exercising.

Assembly  
Make Things Easier  
¥ As you assemble the weight rack, make sure all  
parts are oriented as shown in the drawings.  
Everything in this manual is designed to ensure  
that the weight rack can be assembled  
successfully by anyone. However, the weight  
rack has many parts, and the assembly  
process will take time. Setting aside plenty of  
time will make the process go more smoothly.  
The following tools (not included) are required  
for assembly:  
¥ Two adjustable wrenches  
¥ One rubber mallet  
¥ Assembly requires two people.  
¥ Lubricant, such as grease or petroleum jelly,  
and soapy water.  
¥ 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.  
¥ Tighten all parts as you assemble them, unless  
instructed to do otherwise.

Adjusting the Weight Rack  
This section explains how to adjust the weight rack. See the EXERCISE GUIDELINES below, for important infor-  
mation on how to get the most benefit from your exercise program. Also, refer to the accompanying exercise  
poster to see the correct form for several exercises. Inspect and tighten all parts each time you use the weight  
rack. Replace any worn parts immediately. The weight rack can be cleaned with a damp cloth and a mild, non-  
abrasive detergent. Do not use solvents.  
POSITIONING THE WEIGHT RESTS  
Before beginning an exercise, loosen the Adjustment  
Knobs (12) and move the Short Weight Rests (4) and  
Long Weight Rests (19) to the appropriate height for the  
12  
exercise. Tighten each Adjustment Knob by snapping it  
4
into a hole in an Upright (1) and turning it clockwise.  
The selected height should represent the lowest point  
to which you want your barbell to go during the exer-  
cise. Perform the exercise as shown on the accompa-  
nying exercise poster. Note: Make sure the Adjust-  
1
ment Knobs are tightened into the adjustment holes  
in the uprights.  
19  
WARNING:  
Always set both Short  
Weight Rests (4) and Long Weight Rests (19) at  
the same height. When you are performing  
standing exercises in the rack, stand inside the  
area that is shaded in the drawing on page 3.

Exercise Guidelines  
THE FOUR BASIC TYPES OF WORKOUTS  
Toning  
You can tone your muscles by pushing them to a  
moderate percentage of their capacity. Select a mod-  
erate 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.  
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 inten-  
sity 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 per-  
formed (A ÒrepetitionÓ is one complete cycle of an  
exercise, such as one sit-up. A ÒsetÓ is a series of  
repetitions).  
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.  
The proper amount of weight for each exercise obvi-  
ously 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 repeti-  
tions without difficulty, increase the amount of weight.  
Cross Training  
Many people desire a complete and well-balanced fit-  
ness 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.  
8
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
¥ 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 exer-  
cise will reshape and strengthen your body, and  
develop your heart and lungs.  
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 accompa-  
nying 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  
10 to find the locations of the muscles.  
PERSONALIZING YOUR EXERCISE PROGRAM  
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.  
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 impor-  
tant 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 sig-  
nals. 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.  
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 one minute after each set for a toning workout  
¥ Rest 30 seconds after each set for a weight loss  
workout  
WARMING UP  
Plan to spend the first couple of weeks familiarizing  
yourself with the equipment and learning the proper  
form for each exercise.  
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 deliver-  
ing more oxygen to your muscles.  
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 very effective for increasing flexibility.  
WORKING OUT  
Each workout should include 6 to 10 different exercis-  
es. 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 work-  
outs, vary the exercises from session to session.  
STAYING MOTIVATED  
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.  
For motivation, keep a record of each workout. 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.  
EXERCISE FORM  
Remember, the key to achieving the greatest results  
is to make exercise a regular and enjoyable part of  
your everyday life.  
You will gain the greatest benefits from exercising by  
maintaining proper form. This requires moving
