How to Use Your Machine Hand Grips and Straps The hand grips fit snugly around your wrist, ankle, or instep. Attach grips to cables by snapping the cable clip onto the D-ring. Standard Grip: Grasp the handle and cuff together to form a grip without inserting your hand through the cuff portion. Most exercises utilize this grip. The Standard Grip also is used for Hammer Grip exercises, when you need to hold the hand grip vertically for greater wrist support. Hand Cuff Grip: Slip your hand through the cuff so that the foam pad rests on the back of your hand. Then grasp the remainder of the grip that is sitting in your palm. This method of gripping is great for exercises like front shoulder raises or any exercise where your palm is facing down. Ankle Cuff Grip: The cuff opening can be made larger to accommodate the ankle. Simply insert your hand in the cuff and slide it away from the handle. Insert your foot or ankle and tighten the grip by sliding the handle back toward the cuff. Arch Cuff Grip: The cuff opening can also fit securely over the arch of your foot. For this grip, insert your foot through the cuff until it is around the arch of your instep, and tighten the cuff around your heel to secure the grip. Abdominal Crunch Shoulder Harness: Attach the snap hooks to the D-rings on both ends of the harness. Place the harness on your shoulders letting the handles hang over your chest. Grab both handles. With high resistance, a cross arm opposite-handle grip may be used. 10 Bowflex Xtreme® SE Owner's Manual Lat Pulldown Bar The Lat Pulldown Bar enhances exercises that work back, shoulders and triceps muscles. Leg Extension Attachment The leg extension attachment enables you to work the major muscle groups in the legs. Abdominal Crunch Shoulder Harness The ab harness gives you the ability to strengthen the muscles of the abdomen by safely adding resistance to abdominal exercises. When using the ab harness, relocate the pulleys from the chest bar to the short abdominal bar. Safety: • B efore using the grips, straps, lat bar, or ab harness, make sure that all fasteners are in place and tightened. • Make sure that auxiliary cables for the lat bar and leg extension are securely fastened to the primary cables on the unit. • Always use the lock knob on the slider to secure pulleys. Do not allow pulleys to change position during any exercise. • Always use the bar holders to support the lat bar or remove the bar when not in use. • D o not hang from the Lat Tower nor attempt to perform "chin ups" from the bar. • N ever pull on the bar unless there is resistance attached to it. • Always use the Lock Knob to secure the attachment to your Bowflex Xtreme® SE home gym.
