How to Use
Your Machine
Power Rod® Resistance
Power Rod® units 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® Xtreme®2 home gym comes with 210 pounds of resistance (one pair of 5 pound rods, two pair of 10 pound rods, one pair of 30 pound rods, and one pair of 50 pound rods).
If you upgraded to a 310 or 410 pound capacity
you will have an additional one or two pair of 50 pound Power Rod® units, respectively.
Hooking the Power Rod®
Unit 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.
Storing the Bowflex® Xtreme®2 Home Gym
Disconnect the cables from the Power Rod® unit when your are not using your Bowflex® Xtreme®2 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® unit 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® unit from the cables.
