Power Rod ® Resistance
Power 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 ®
Elite ™ home gym comes
with 310 pounds (140 kg)
of resistance [one pair of 5
lb. (2.25 kg) rods, two
pair of 10 lb. (4.5 kg) rods,
one pair of 30 lb. (13.5 kg)
rods, and two pair of 50 lb.
(22.5 kg) rods].
Hooking The Power
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
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
Rods
® from
the cables.
When You Are Not Using Your Bowflex®
Elite™ home gym
Disconnect the cables from the Power Rods ® when
your are not using your Bowflex ® Elite ™ 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.
