IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of serious injury, read all important precautions and
instructions in this manual and all warnings on your weight bench before using your weight bench.
ICON assumes no responsibility for personal injury or property damage sustained by or through the
use of this product.
1. Before beginning any exercise program,
consult your physician. This is especially
important for persons over the age of 35 or
persons with pre-existing health problems.
11. Always make sure there is an equal amount
of weight on each side of the barbell when
you are using it. When adding or removing
weights, always keep some weight on both
ends of the barbell to prevent the barbell
from tipping.
2. Use the weight bench only as described in
this manual.
12. The weight bench is designed to support a
maximum user weight of 300 lbs. (136 kg)
and a maximum total weight of 410 lbs. (186
kg). Do not place more than 110 lbs. (50 kg),
including a barbell and weights, on the
3. It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure
that all users of the weight bench are ade-
quately informed of all precautions.
4. The weight bench is intended for home use
only. Do not use the weight bench in any
commercial, rental, or institutional setting.
weight rests. Do not place more than 110 lbs.
(50 kg) on the weight carriage. Do not place
more than 50 lbs. (23 kg) on the leg lever.
5. Keep the weight bench indoors, away from
moisture and dust. Place the weight bench
on a level surface, with a mat beneath it to
protect the floor or carpet. Make sure that
there is enough clearance around the weight
bench to mount, dismount, and use the
weight bench.
13. When you are using the leg lever, place a
barbell with the same amount of weight on
the weight rests to balance the bench.
14. When using the backrest in an inclined or
level position, make sure that the backrest
support is inserted completely through the
uprights and turned to the locked position.
6. Inspect and properly tighten all parts regular-
ly. Replace any worn parts immediately.
15. Always remove the curl post and the lat
tower from the front leg before using the leg
lever.
7. Keep children under age 12 and pets away
from the weight bench at all times.
16. If you feel pain or dizziness at any time while
exercising, stop immediately and begin cool-
ing down.
8. Keep hands and feet away from moving
parts.
9. Always wear athletic shoes for foot protec-
tion while exercising.
17. Always exercise with a partner. Your partner
should stand behind you to catch the barbell
if you cannot complete a repetition.
10. Do not use a barbell that is longer than five
ft. (1.5 m) with the weight bench.

ASSEMBLY
• For help identifying small parts, use the PART
Make Things Easier for Yourself
IDENTIFICATION CHART on page 5.
Everything in this manual is designed to ensure
that the weight bench can be assembled suc-
cessfully by almost anyone. Set aside plenty of
time so that assembly will go smoothly.
• As you assemble the weight bench, make sure all
parts are oriented as shown in the drawings.
• Tighten all parts as you assemble them, unless
instructed to do otherwise.
Before beginning assembly, carefully read the fol-
lowing information and instructions:
• The included grease and the following tools (not
included) may be required for assembly:
• Assembly requires two people.
Two adjustable wrenches
One hammer
• Because of its size, the weight bench should be
assembled in the location where it will be used.
Make sure that there is enough clearance to walk
around the weight bench as you assemble it.
One standard screwdriver
One Phillips screwdriver
• Place all parts in a cleared area and remove the
packing materials. Do not dispose of the packing
materials until assembly is completed.
Assembly will be more convenient if you have a
socket set, a set of open-end or closed-end
wrenches, or a set of ratchet wrenches.

EXERCISE GUIDELINES
THE FOUR BASIC TYPES OF WORKOUTS
The combination of strength training and aerobic exer-
cise will reshape and strengthen your body, plus
develop your heart and lungs.
Muscle Building
To increase the size and strength of your muscles,
push them close to their maximum capacity. Your mus- PERSONALIZING YOUR EXERCISE PROGRAM
cles will continually adapt and grow as you
progressively increase the intensity of your exercise.
Determining the appropriate length of time for each
You can adjust the intensity level of an individual exer- workout, and the numbers of repetitions and sets to
cise in two ways:
complete, is an individual matter. Avoid overdoing it
during the first few months of your exercise program.
Progress at your own pace and be sensitive to your
bodyʼs signals. If you experience pain or dizziness
while exercising, stop immediately and cool down.
Find out what is wrong before continuing. Remember
that adequate rest and a proper diet are important fac-
tors in any exercise program.
• by changing the amount of resistance used
• by changing the number of repetitions or sets per-
formed. (A “repetition” is one complete cycle of an
exercise, such as one sit-up. A “set” is a series of
repetitions.)
The proper amount of resistance for each exercise
depends upon the individual user. You must gauge
your limits and select the amount of resistance that is
right for you. Begin with 3 sets of 8 repetitions for each
exercise you perform. Rest for 3 minutes after each
set. When you can complete 3 sets of 12 repetitions
without difficulty, increase the amount of resistance.
WARMING UP
Begin each workout with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching
and light exercise to warm up. Warming up prepares
your body for more strenuous exercise by increasing
circulation, raising your body temperature, and deliver-
ing more oxygen to your muscles.
Toning
You can tone your muscles by pushing them to a mod-
erate percentage of their capacity. Select a moderate
amount of resistance and increase the number of rep-
etitions in each set. Complete as many sets of 15 to
20 repetitions as possible without discomfort. Rest for
1 minute after each set. Work your muscles by com-

Each workout should include 6 to 10 different exercis-
es. Select exercises for every major muscle group,
emphasizing areas that you want to develop most. To

resistance.
exercises from workout to workout.
Weight Loss
Schedule your workouts for the time of day when your
energy level is the highest. Each workout should be
followed by at least one day of rest. Once you find the
schedule that is right for you, stick with it.
To lose weight, use a low amount of resistance and
increase the number of repetitions in each set.
Exercise for 20 to 30 minutes, resting for a maximum
of 30 seconds between sets.
EXERCISE FORM

through the full range of motion for each exercise, and
moving only the appropriate parts of the body.
• Plan strength training workouts on Monday,
Wednesday, and Friday.
Exercising in an uncontrolled way will leave you feel-
ing exhausted. On the exercise guide accompanying
this manual you will find photographs showing the cor-
rect form for several exercises, and a list of the

running on a treadmill or riding on an elliptical exer-
ciser or exercise cycle, on Tuesday and Thursday.
• Rest from both strength training and aerobic exercise muscles affected. See the muscle chart on the next

time to regenerate.
page to find the names of the muscles.

The repetitions in each set should be performed
smoothly and without pausing. The exertion stroke of
each repetition should last about half as long as the
return stroke. Proper breathing is important. Exhale
during the exertion stroke of each repetition and
inhale during the return stroke. Never hold your
breath.
COOLING DOWN
End each workout with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching.
Include stretches for both your arms and legs. Move
slowly as you stretch and do not bounce. Ease into
each stretch gradually and go only as far as you can
without strain. Stretching at the end of each workout
is an effective way to increase flexibility.
Rest for a short period of time after each set. The
ideal resting periods follow:
STAYING MOTIVATED
• Rest for three minutes after each set for a muscle
building workout.
For motivation, keep a record of each workout. Write
the date, the exercises performed, the resistance
used, and the numbers of sets and repetitions com-
pleted. Record your weight and key body

out.

measurements at the end of every month. The key to
achieving the greatest results is to make exercise a
regular and enjoyable part of your everyday life.
Plan to spend the first couple of weeks familiarizing
yourself with the equipment and learning the proper
form for each exercise.
