4. Operating Instructions
The YOLEO Squat Rack offers various adjustments and attachments for a diverse workout experience.
Adjusting Width:
To adjust the width of the squat rack (from 35’’ to 67’’), loosen the designated adjustment knobs/bolts on the connecting bars. Slide the uprights to the desired width, ensuring both sides are even, then re-tighten the knobs/bolts securely.
Adjusting Pull-Up Bar Height:
The pull-up bar can be adjusted from 71.5’’ to 80.5’’. To adjust, remove the pins/bolts securing the pull-up bar, slide it to the desired height, align the holes, and re-insert the pins/bolts. Ensure it is locked in place before use.
Using J-Hooks and Safety Arms:
The J-hooks are used to hold the barbell at the starting position for exercises like squats and bench presses. The safety arms (spotter arms) are crucial for safety, catching the barbell if a lift is failed. Insert them into the desired height holes on the uprights and ensure they are securely locked.
Utilizing Attachments:
- Dip Handles: Attach the dip handles to the appropriate holes on the uprights for performing dips.
- Landmine Attachment: Insert a barbell into the landmine attachment for exercises like T-bar rows and rotational movements.
- Weight Plate Storage: Use the integrated pegs to store 1’’ or 2’’ weight plates, keeping your gym tidy.
