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.  
12. Always place 50 pounds on the leg lever  
when performing squat exercises to balance  
the bench (see page 15).  
2. It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure  
that all users of the weight bench are ade-  
quately informed of all precautions.  
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.  
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 (not included) 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 and place the 2” inner cap  
over the open tube before performing leg  
curl or leg extension exercises with the leg  
lever (see page 15).  
6. Keep children under 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.  
17. Always set both weight rests at the same  
height. The long adjustment knob must  
always be inserted through both the weight  
rest and upright and firmly tightened. Never  
tighten the long adjustment knob into an  
upright and then set a weight rest in the  
upright on top of the long adjustment knob.  
9. Do not use a barbell (not included) longer  
than six feet with this weight bench.  
10. Always be sure there is an equal amount of  
weight on each side of your barbell (not  
included) when you are using it.  
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.  
11. The weight bench is designed to support a  
maximum of 460 pounds, including the user,  
a barbell, and weights. The preacher curl post  
is designed to support a maximum of 50  
pounds. Do not place more than 210 pounds, 19. If you feel pain or dizziness at any time while  
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.  
exercising, stop immediately and begin cool-

EXERCISE GUIDELINES  
THE FOUR BASIC TYPES OF WORKOUTS  
• Muscle Building  
PERSONALIZING YOUR EXERCISE PROGRAM  
We have not specified an exact length of time for  
each workout, or a specific number of repetitions or  
sets for each exercise. It is very important to avoid  
overdoing it during the first few months of your exer-  
cise program, and to progress at your own pace. If  
you experience pain or dizziness at any time while  
exercising, stop immediately and begin to cool down.  
Find out what is wrong before continuing. Remember  
that adequate rest and a proper diet are also impor-  
tant.  
In order to increase the size and strength of your  
muscles, you must push your muscles to a high per-  
centage of their capacity. You must also progressively  
increase the intensity of your exercise so that your  
muscles will continually adapt and grow. Each individ-  
ual exercise can be tailored to the proper intensity  
level by changing the amount of weight used, or the  
number of repetitions or sets performed. (A “repeti-  
tion” is one complete cycle of an exercise, such as  
one sit-up. A “set” is a series of repetitions performed  
consecutively.)  
WARMING UP  
Begin each workout with 5 to 10 minutes of light  
stretching and exercise to warm up. Warming up pre-  
pares your body for exercise by increasing circulation,  
raising your body temperature and delivering more  
oxygen to your muscles.  
The proper amount of weight for each exercise  
depends upon the individual user. It is up to you to  
gauge your limits. Select the amount of weight that  
you think is right for you. Begin with 3 sets of 8 repeti-  
tions for each exercise that 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.  
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 workout to workout.  
• Toning  
To tone your muscles, you must push your muscles 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.  
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.  
EXERCISE FORM  
• Weight Loss  
In order to obtain the greatest benefits from exercis-  
ing, it is essential to maintain proper form.  
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.  
Maintaining proper form means 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 exhaust-  
ed. 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 affect-  
ed. Refer to the muscle chart on page 18 to find the  
locations of the muscles.  
• Cross Training  
In the pursuit of a complete and well-balanced fitness  
program, many have found that cross training is the  
answer. We recommend that on Monday, Wednesday  
and Friday, you plan weight training workouts. On  
Tuesday and Thursday, plan 20 to 30 minutes of aero-  
bic exercise, such as cycling, running or swimming.  
Rest from both weight training and aerobic exercise  
for at least one full day each week to give your body  
time to regenerate. By combining weight training with  
aerobic exercise, you can reshape and strengthen  
your body, plus develop a stronger 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. Rest

for 3 minutes after each set if you are doing a muscle  
building workout, 1 minute after each set if you are  
doing a toning workout, and 30 seconds after each  
set if you are doing 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.  
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, exercises performed, weight, and numbers  
of sets and repetitions completed. Record your weight  
and key body measurements at the end of every  
month.  
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—do not bounce. Ease into each  
stretch gradually and go only as far as you can with-  
out strain. Stretching at the end of each workout is  
very effective for increasing flexibility.  
Remember, the key to achieving the greatest results  
is to make exercise a regular and enjoyable part of  
your everyday life.
