Hand Grips
The Bowflex ® Ultimate ™
home gym hand grips
can be used as regular
grips, hand cuffs or
ankle cuffs.
Regular Grip: Grasp the handle
and cuff together to form a grip
without inserting your hand through
the cuff portion. Most of the exercises
you perform utilize this grip.
Hand Cuff Grip: Slip your hand
through the cuff portion of the grip so
that the foam pad rests on the back of
your hand. Then grasp the remainder
of the grip that is sitting in your palm.
This method of gripping is great for
exercises like front shoulder raises
or any exercise where your palm is
facing down.
Ankle Cuff Grip: The cuff
opening can be made larger to
accommodate the ankle. Simply insert
your hand in the cuff and slide it away
from the handle. Insert your foot or
ankle and tighten the grip by sliding
the handle back toward the cuff.
Using Your Machine
The Leg Press Belt is used exclusively
for the Leg Press and the Seated
Hamstring Curl exercises.
• With the Bowflex ® Ultimate ™ seat
adjusted to the “free sliding” position
(spring lock seat pin unlocked), the
hand grips removed, and the desired
amount of resistance hooked up, sit
on the seat and position the leg press
belt around your hips.
• Slide forward to the pulleys and place
your feet through the right and left
openings under the rod cables.
• Attach the rod cables to the D-rings
on the Leg Press Belt so that the belt
is taut.
• Place hands on vertical main frame
and push yourself back while placing
feet, one at a time, onto
the pulley frame.
• Grasp belt near where it’s attached to
the cables and begin to press back.
