Usage & Exercise Guidelines

Important Checks

• Check hardware regularly, at least once every 3 months, and tighten bolts/nuts after the first few workout sessions (approx. 10 hours) to ensure optimal performance.

Weight Plate Storage Bars

• Use sufficient locking supports to secure weight plates at all times.
• Distribute weight plates evenly on left and right sides.
• Do not exceed the maximum weight capacity of the storage bars.

Exercise Guidelines

• Building Muscle and Gaining Weight: Anaerobic exercise focuses on strength training. Gradual weight gain can occur. Diet can include meat, fish, and vegetables to aid muscle recovery.
• Muscle Strength and Endurance: To increase strength, increase resistance and maintain repetitions. To tone, decrease resistance and increase repetitions.
• Training Intensity: Adjust based on fitness level. Gradually increase load. Muscle soreness is common initially.
• Strength Building Program: Warm up for 5-10 minutes with light exercise and stretching. Avoid prolonged muscle soreness. Cool down with 5-10 minutes of slow stretching. Consider 2-3 days of aerobic exercise per week.
• Drinking Water: Stay hydrated by increasing fluid intake during exercise to replace sweat loss.
• Rest Day: Essential for muscle recovery and preventing overtraining. Take at least one rest day per week.

Cleaning and Maintenance

• Lubricate moving parts periodically with WD-40 or light oil.
• Inspect and tighten all parts before use.
• Clean with a damp cloth and mild, non-abrasive detergent. Do not use solvents.
• Examine regularly for signs of damage or wear. Replace defective parts immediately or keep the equipment out of use until repaired.
