II.Learn the Rule Of Thumb: Sometimes referred to as a “false grip” or “sissy grip”, the Rule Of Thumb is a style of grip in which the thumb does not wrap around the bar but rests alongside the index fingers.

5.While still grasping the barbell, lift about 1”, using an even upward lifting motion on both sides of the barbell. This upward movement will disengage the locking mechanism. If you have performed this step correctly, the barbell will now be under your control, the cables will move freely over the pulleys and the slider knuckles will slide smoothly up and down the guideposts. You can now safely perform any free- weight exercise without the need of a spotter. Simply Grab and Go®!
6.Locking the barbell in place: When you are finished using the barbell, open your hands to remove your fingertips from the Touch Sensor Strip and at the same time continue to support the barbell with the palms of your hands. (Make sure no other skin contact is being made with the Touch Sensor Strip.) Slowly lower the barbell until it locks into position. There is a locking position every 1”. Now remove your palms from the barbell. The barbell is now locked and ready for your next exercise.
7.Always maintain control of the movement of the barbell. Do not allow the barbell to swing against the machine frame, as this may cause damage to the finish. Do not attempt to throw or slam the barbell attached to the cables, as this may result in damage to the locking mechanism. Intentional misuse of the
