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 weight rests and both
safety spotters at the same height.
11. The weight bench is designed to support a
maximum of 560 pounds, including the user,
a barbell and weights (not included). Do not
place more than 300 pounds, including the
barbell, on the weight rests. Do not place
more than 150 pounds on the weight car-
riage.
2. It is the responsibility of the owner to
ensure that all users of the weight rack are
adequately informed of all precautions.
3. The weight rack is intended for home use
only. Do not use the weight rack in any
commercial, rental, or institutional setting.
12. Make sure that the cables remain on the
pulleys at all times. If the cables bind as
you are exercising, stop immediately and
make sure that the cables are on the pul-
leys.
4. Use the weight rack only on a level sur-
face. Cover the floor beneath the weight
rack for protection of the floor or carpet.
5. Inspect and tighten all parts each time you
use the weight rack. Replace any worn
parts immediately.
13. Always wear athletic shoes for foot protec-
tion while exercising.
6. Keep children under 12 and pets away
from the weight rack at all times.
14. Always exercise with a partner. When you
are performing squat exercises, your part-
ner should stand behind you to catch the
barbell if you cannot complete a repetition.
7. Keep hands and feet away from moving
parts.
15. If you feel pain or dizziness at any time
while exercising, stop immediately and
begin cooling down.
8. Always secure the weights (not included)
with the weight clips when they are mounted
on the weight carriage.
16. Always disconnect the lat bar from the
weight rack when performing an exercise
that does not require the lat bar.
9. Always make sure there is an equal
amount of weight on each end of the bar-
bell (not included).

Assembly
• As you assemble the weight rack, make sure all
parts are oriented as shown in the drawings.
Make Things Easier for Yourself!
Everything in this manual is designed to ensure
that the weight rack can be assembled success-
fully by anyone. However, it is important to real-
ize that the versatile weight rack has many parts
and that the assembly process will take time.
Most people find that by setting aside plenty of
time, assembly will go smoothly.
• For help identifying small parts, use the PART
IDENTIFICATION CHART on page 5.
The following tools (not included) are required
for assembly:
• Two adjustable wrenches
• One rubber mallet
Before beginning assembly, carefully read the
following information and instructions:
• One standard screwdriver
• One Phillips screwdriver
• 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.

Before beginning an exercise, move the Weight Rests
(19) and the Safety Spotters (20) to sets of holes in the
Uprights (7, 8) that are best suited for that exercise. Do
this by turning the Adjustment Knobs (22) counterclock-
wise until loose. Pull the Knobs out and slide the
Weight Rests or the Safety Spotters to the desired
height. Snap the Knobs into the adjustment holes in the
Uprights and turn the Knobs clockwise until tight.

The selected holes for the Safety Spotters (20) should
represent the lowest point to which you want the barbell
to go during the exercise. The selected holes for the
Weight Rests (19) should be at a comfortable height for
lifting and replacing the barbell. Perform the exercise as
shown on the accompanying exercise chart. Note: Make
sure the Adjustment Knobs (22) are fully tightened.
WARNING:
Always set both Weight
Rests at the same height and both Safety
Spotters at the same height.

Exercise Guidelines
THE FOUR BASIC TYPES OF WORKOUTS
PERSONALIZING YOUR EXERCISE PROGRAM
Muscle Building
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 body’s 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.
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 “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 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.
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.
WORKING OUT
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.
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.
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.
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.
EXERCISE FORM
You will gain the greatest benefits from exercising by
maintaining proper form. This requires 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 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
18 to find the locations of the muscles.
Cross Training
Many people desire a complete and balanced fitness
program. Cross training is an efficient way to accom-
plish this. One example of a balanced program is:
• Plan weight training workouts on Monday,
Wednesday, and Friday.
• Plan 20 to 30 minutes of aerobic exercise, such as
cycling, running, 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 devel-
op your 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!
17
Make sure to rest for a short period of time after each
set. The ideal resting periods are:
without strain. Stretching at the end of each workout
is very effective for increasing flexibility.
• Rest three minutes after each set for a muscle build-
ing workout.
STAYING MOTIVATED
• Rest one minute after each set for a toning workout.
• Rest 30 seconds after each set for 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.
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, the exercises performed, the weight plus the
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 and do not bounce. Ease into
each stretch gradually and go only as far as you can
Remember, the key to achieving the greatest results
is to make exercise a regular and enjoyable part of
your everyday life.
