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
Xtreme
® 2 SE 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.
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.
When You Are Not Using Your
Bowflex Xtreme ® 2 SE Home Gym
Disconnect the cables
from the Power Rod
®
resistance rods when your
are not using your Bowflex
Xtreme
® 2 SE 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.
