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
® 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 the Power Rod
®
Unit 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.
When You Are Not Using Your
Bowflex Xtreme
®
Home Gym
Disconnect the cables from the Power Rod ® unit
when your are not using
your Bowflex Xtreme
®
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.
Safety
When hooking the Power
Rod
® caps 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
® unit from the cables.
