D. Select a reasonable weight that you can safely manage on your own.
E. Remove all weight plates from the Smith or Olympic press bar before repositioning the bar.
F. Exhale while lifting the weights, and inhale while returning to the starting position.
G. If your machine is equipped with a weight stack, the pin must be completely inserted before
using this machine.
H. Should weights, pulleys, cables or other parts become jammed, do not attempt to free them
yourself, seek assistance.
I. Keep clear of weights and all moving parts.
J. Children should not be permitted to use the machine.
K. For consistent, smooth operation, the guide rods should be lubricated periodically with a syn-
thetic lubricant.
L. We recommend that you always exercise with a partner or someone who can offer assistance
should the weights become too heavy for you to lift on your own.
EXERCISE PROGRAM SUGGESTION #1
Exercise the complete body every other day, up to three times a week. The one day rest enables
the body to recover from the previous workout.
EXERCISE PROGRAM SUGGESTION #2
Alternating your daily workouts. One day isolate the upper body exercises, and the next day per-
form the lower body exercises. To reduce lactic acid build-up and consequently reduce muscle
soreness, end each exercise with an increased number of repetitions at a lighter weight. Also,
stretching the muscles is recommended upon completion of your weight resistance program.

What are your fitness goals?
• Rest one minute between sets, two to three minutes for more advanced
routines.
• Maintain proper form and body positioning as you perform each exercise
through the complete range of motion.
*(MW)= Maximum Weight
A percentage of the maximum weight you can lift by performing a single
repetition
Set
A “set” is defined as a series of continuous repetitions.
Repetition
A “repetition” is defined as a single movement performed during any given
exercise while completing a full range of motion from beginning to end.

GETTING STARTED:
Always warm-up your muscles before exercising. Easy stretching (without bouncing) and light
calisthenics, for several minutes, are recommended to prepare your body.
A “repetition” is defined as one complete movement from the starting position, through the full
range of motion, and back to the starting position.
Start your exercise program conservatively. Select a weight for each exercise that is easily per-
formed for the full range of motion. Learn to feel your body’s responses and change your program
accordingly. The number of repetitions for each set should range between eight and fifteen. As a
general rule, the lower the number of repetitions performed (eight to ten), the heavier the resist-
ance of weight used. While heavy resistance increases muscular strength, the full range of move-
ment is necessary to achieve maximum muscle strength and development. Rest between each
set of repetitions long enough to catch your breath. Work up to three or four sets for each isolated
exercise. When you can perform the desired number of repetitions at a given weight, increase the
resistance by five or ten pounds. There may be a number of exercises isolating the same muscle.
These exercises should be grouped together and performed on the same day, followed by a day or
two of rest for that particular muscle.
BEFORE EXERCISING:
