Getting to Know Your Machine Power Rod® Resistance Power Rod® resistance rods are made from a special composite material. Your rods are sheathed with a p­ rotective black rubber coating. Each rod is marked with its weight rating on the "Rod Cap." Adjusting and Understanding the Resistance The standard Bowflex Xtreme® SE home gym comes with 210 pounds of nominal r­esistance (one pair of 5 lb. (2.25 kg) rods, two pairs of 10 lb. (4.5 kg) rods, one pair of 30 lb. (13.5 kg) rods, and one pair of 50 lb. (22.5 kg) rods. Note: Power Rod® Resistance Rods are manufactured using nylon composite material. The weight resistance measurements are estimates and resistance can vary based on environmental and usage patterns and other factors. Rod resistance will normally degrade over time and after extensive usage. If you have any questions regarding the resistance of your Power Rod® Resistance Rods, contact our Bowflex® Customer Service department for assistance. If you upgraded to a 310 (140 kg) or 410 pound (186 kg) capacity you will have an additional one or two pair of 50 lb. (22.5 kg) rods, respectively. Connecting the Power Rod® Unit to the Cables You may use one rod or several rods in ­combination, to create your desired resistance level. To hook multiple rods up to one cable, bend the closest rod toward the cable and place the cable hook through that rod cap. You can then hook up the next closest rod through the same cable hook. Hooking up the closest rod first prevents rods from crossing over the top of one another. Safety When hooking the Power Rod® resistance rods to the cable hooks, do not stand directly over the tops of the rods. Stand off to one side when connecting and disconnecting the Power Rod® resistance rods from the cables. When You Are Not Using Your Home Gym Disconnect the cables from the Power Rod® resistance rods when your are not using your Bowflex Xtreme® SE home gym. Keep the cables and Power Rod® units bound with the rod binding strap when not in operation, and be sure and remove the binding strap before beginning any exercises using the rods.
