Using the Weight Bench

The weight bench is designed to be used with your own weight set (not included). The steps below explain how the weight bench can be adjusted. See EXERCISE GUIDELINES on page 13 for important exercise information and refer to the accompanying exercise poster to see the correct form for each exercise. Refer also to the exercise information accompanying your weight set (not included) for additional exercises.

Inspect and tighten all parts each time you use the weight bench. Replace any worn parts immediately. The weight bench can be cleaned with a damp cloth and a mild, non-abrasive detergent. Do not use solvents.

ADJUSTING THE BACKREST

The Backrest (6) can be used in a decline position, three incline positions, or a level position. To use the Backrest in the decline position, remove the Support Rod (7) and lay the Backrest on the Crossbar (3).

To use the Backrest (6) in an incline position, lift the Backrest (6) and insert the end of the Support Rod (7) without the locking clip through one of the top three sets of holes in the Uprights (1). Rotate the locking clip into place around the right Upright.

To use the Backrest (6) in the level position, lift the Backrest (6) and insert the end of the Support Rod (7) without the locking clip through the bottom set of holes in the Uprights (1). Rotate the locking clip into place around the right Upright.

WARNING: When using the Backrest (6) in an incline position, insert the Support Rod (7) completely through both Uprights (1) and turn it to the locked position.

500 specifications

The Weider 500 is a versatile home gym system designed to cater to fitness enthusiasts at all levels. It combines efficiency with a compact design, making it suitable for users who want to build strength without the need for multiple machines. One of the standout features of the Weider 500 is its all-in-one design, which offers a variety of exercises targeting multiple muscle groups.

At the heart of the Weider 500 is its innovative resistance technology. The machine utilizes a combination of pulleys and adjustable weight plates to provide a smooth and consistent resistance across various exercises. This ensures that users can perform their workouts safely, without the risk of injury associated with free weights. The adjustable weight stack allows for incremental increases in resistance, making it easy to progress as strength improves.

In addition to its resistance system, the Weider 500 includes multiple attachments for enhanced versatility. For example, the dual-function arm press and lat pull-down bar enable lifters to perform a wide range of upper body exercises. The leg developer attachment allows users to target their quads and hamstrings effectively. This multi-functional approach means that users can engage in comprehensive workouts, including chest presses, leg extensions, and seated rows, all in the comfort of their own homes.

The construction of the Weider 500 is another aspect worth noting. Built with a sturdy steel frame, it is designed to withstand heavy use while maintaining stability during workouts. The padded seats and backrests provide comfort and support, reducing strain during extended workout sessions. Size-wise, the Weider 500 is compact enough to fit in smaller spaces, making it an appealing choice for home gyms with limited room.

Another significant advantage of the Weider 500 is its user-friendly design. The intuitive setup and straightforward functionality make it accessible to beginners while still providing the challenges that more experienced athletes seek. Additionally, the machine features clear instructions for each exercise, aiding users in achieving proper form and maximizing the effectiveness of their workouts.

In summary, the Weider 500 is a highly efficient and versatile home gym solution. Its combination of durable construction, innovative resistance technology, and multiple attachments makes it an ideal choice for anyone looking to elevate their fitness routine without the need for a large, multi-machine setup. Whether you are a novice or a seasoned fitness enthusiast, the Weider 500 offers a comprehensive workout experience tailored to your goals.
