5.2. Squats and Bench Press

Utilize the height-adjustable safety bars and barbell holders for squats and bench press exercises. Adjust the safety bars to a height that prevents the barbell from trapping you in case of failure, but still allows for a full range of motion.

• Adjusting Safety Bars: To adjust the height, pull out the locking pin, slide the bar to the desired height, and re-insert the pin, ensuring it passes completely through the frame and bar.
• Barbell Holders: Place your barbell securely on the rubberized holders. Always ensure the barbell is centered and stable before lifting.

5.3. Dips

The detachable dip bars can be inserted into the uprights at various heights and widths. Choose a height that allows for a full range of motion without your feet touching the ground, and a width comfortable for your shoulders.

• Attaching Dip Bars: Insert the dip bars into the designated holes on the uprights. Ensure they are fully seated and stable before applying weight.
• Adjustable Width: The dip bars can be set at widths of 56 cm, 61 cm, or 67 cm.

5.4. Cable Pulley System

The integrated cable pulley system allows for a wide range of exercises such as cable rows, lat pulldowns, triceps pushdowns, and more. Attach standard weight plates (25mm hole diameter) to the weight plate holders.
