Preacher Curl Station

Sit on the preacher curl bench and rest your arms over the pad. Use a curl bar or handle attached to the low pulley. Perform bicep curls, keeping your elbows stationary on the pad.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and smooth operation of your Weider 2980 X Home Gym.

• Cleaning: Wipe down the frame and upholstery with a damp cloth after each use to remove sweat and dust. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
• Cable and Pulley Inspection: Periodically inspect all cables and pulleys for signs of fraying, wear, or damage. Replace any worn components immediately.
• Lubrication: To ensure smooth movement of the weight stack and pulleys, apply a silicone-based lubricant or white lithium grease to the guide rods and pivot points as needed. This can help prevent the weight stack from sticking.
• Bolt Tightness: Check and tighten all bolts and nuts regularly to ensure the stability and safety of the machine. Do not overtighten.
