How to Use Your Machine
Power Rod® Resistance
Power Rod® resistance rods are made from a special composite material. Your rods are sheathed with a protective black rubber coating. Each rod is marked with its weight rating on the “Rod Cap.”
Adjusting and
Understanding
the Resistance
The standard Bowflex Xceed™ home gym comes with 210 pounds
of resistance (one pair of 5 lb. (2.25 kg) rods, two pairs of 10 lb. (4.5 kg) rods, one pair of
30 lb. (13.5 kg) rods, and one pair of 50 lb. (22.5 kg) rods.
If you upgraded to a 310 (140 kg) or 410 pound (186 kg) capacity you will have an additional one or two pair of 50 lb. (22.5 kg) rods, respectively.
Hooking Power Rod® Resistance Rods to the Cables
You may use one rod or several rods in combination, to create your desired resistance level.
To hook multiple rods up to one cable, bend the closest rod toward the cable and place the cable hook through that rod cap. You can then hook up the next closest rod through the same cable hook.
Hooking up the closest rod first prevents rods from crossing over the top of one another.
When You Are Not Using Your
Bowflex Xceed™ Home Gym
Disconnect the cables from the Power Rod® resistance rods when your are not
using your Bowflex Xceed™ home gym. Use the rod binding strap included with your machine to bind all the rods together at the top. You can also place your cables and grips through the strap to keep them out of the way.
Safety
When hooking the Power Rod® resistance rods to the cable hooks, do not stand directly over the tops of the rods. Stand off to one side when connecting and disconnecting the Power Rod® resistance rods from the cables.
