IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of serious injury, read the following important precautions
before using the weight bench.
1. Read all instructions in this manual before
using the weight bench. Use the weight
bench only as described in this manual.
9. Keep hands and feet away from moving parts.
10. The weight bench is designed to support a
maximum user weight of 300 pounds. Do not
use the barbell with more than 100 pounds.
Do not place more that 110 pounds, includ-
ing the barbell and weights, on the weight
rests. Do not place more than 50 pounds on
the leg lever.
2. It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure
that all users of the weight bench are ade-
quately informed of all precautions.
3. The weight bench is intended for home use
only. Do not use the weight bench in any
commercial, rental, or institutional setting.
11. When you are using the leg lever, place a
barbell with the same amount of weight on
the weight rests to balance the bench.
4. Use the weight bench only on a level sur-
face. Cover the floor beneath the weight
bench to protect the floor.
12. Always make sure there is an equal amount
of weight on each side of your 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.
5. Make sure that all parts are properly tight-
ened each time you use the weight bench.
Replace any worn parts immediately.
6. Keep children under the age of 12 and pets
away from the weight bench at all times.
13. When using the backrest in an inclined posi-
tion, make sure that the support rod is
inserted completely through the uprights and
turned to the locked position.
7. Always wear athletic shoes for foot protec-
tion while exercising.
8. Never use the barbell if the roll pins become
loose or broken. Do not use a barbell that is
longer than five feet with the weight bench.
14. If you feel pain or dizziness at any time while
exercising, stop immediately and begin cool-
ing down.
WARNING:
Before beginning this or any exercise program, consult your physician. This
is especially important for persons over the age of 35 or persons with pre-existing health problems.
Read all instructions before using. ICON assumes no responsibility for personal injury or property
damage sustained by or through the use of this product.

EXERCISE GUIDELINES
THE FOUR BASIC TYPES OF WORKOUTS
PERSONALIZING YOUR EXERCISE PROGRAM
Muscle Building
Determining the exact length of time for each workout,
as well as the number of repetitions or sets complet-
ed, is an individual matter. It is important to avoid
overdoing it during the first few months of your exer-
cise program. You should progress at your own pace
and be sensitive to your body’s signals. If you experi-
ence pain or dizziness at any time while exercising,
stop immediately and begin cooling down. Find out
what is wrong before continuing. Remember that ade-
quate rest and a proper diet are important factors in
any exercise program.
To increase the size and strength of your muscles,
push them close to their maximum capacity. Your
muscles will continually adapt and grow as you pro-
gressively increase the intensity of your exercise. You
can adjust the intensity level of an individual exercise
in two ways:
• by changing the amount of weight 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.)
WARMING UP
The proper amount of weight for each exercise
depends upon the individual user. You must gauge
your limits and select the amount of weight 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 repeti-
tions without difficulty, increase the amount of weight.
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.
WORKING OUT
Toning
You can tone your muscles by pushing them to a
moderate percentage of their capacity. Select a mod-
erate amount of weight and increase the number of
repetitions 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
completing more sets rather than by using high
amounts of weight.
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
give balance and variety to your workouts, vary the
exercises from session to session.
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.
Weight Loss
To lose weight, use a low amount of weight 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
Maintaining proper form is an essential part of an
effective exercise program. This requires moving
through the full range of motion for each exercise,
and moving only the appropriate parts of the body.
Exercising in an uncontrolled manner will leave you
feeling exhausted. On the exercise guide accompany-
ing this manual you will find photographs showing the
correct form for several exercises, and a list of the
muscles affected. Refer to the muscle chart on page
10 to find the names of the muscles.
Cross Training
Cross training is an efficient way to get a complete
and well-balanced fitness program. An example of a
balanced program is:
• Plan weight training workouts on Monday,
Wednesday, and Friday.
• Plan 20 to 30 minutes of aerobic exercise, such as
cycling or swimming, on Tuesday and Thursday.
• Rest from both weight training and aerobic exercise
for at least one full day each week to give your body
time to regenerate.
The repetitions in each set should be performed
smoothly and without pausing. The exertion stage of
each repetition should last about half as long as the
return stage. Proper breathing is important. Exhale
during the exertion stage of each repetition and inhale
during the return stroke. Never hold your breath.
The combination of weight training and aerobic exer-
cise will reshape and strengthen your body, plus
develop your heart and lungs.

Rest for a short period of time after each set. The ideal slowly as you stretch and do not bounce. Ease into
resting periods are:
• Rest for three minutes after each set for a muscle
building workout.
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 one minute after each set for a toning work-
out.
STAYING MOTIVATED
• Rest for 30 seconds after each set for a weight loss
workout.
Plan to spend the first couple of weeks familiarizing
yourself with the equipment and learning the proper
form for each exercise.
For motivation, keep a record of each workout. The
chart on page 11 of this manual can be photocopied
and used to schedule and record your workouts. List
the date, the exercises performed, the weight used,
and the numbers of sets and repetitions completed.
Record your weight and key body measurements at
the end of every month. Remember, the key to achiev-
ing the greatest results is to make exercise a regular
and enjoyable part of your everyday life.
COOLING DOWN
End each workout with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching.
Include stretches for both your arms and legs. Move
