How To Use Your Bowflex Conquest™ Home Gym Power Rod® Resistance Power Rod® resistance rods are made from a special composite material. Your rods are sheathed with a protective black rubber coating. Each rod is marked with its weight rating on the "Rod Cap". Adjusting And Understanding The Resistance The Bowflex Conquest™ home gym comes with 210 pounds (95 kg) of resistance [one pair of 5 lb. (2.25 kg) rods, two pair of 10 lb. (4.5 kg) one pair of 30 lb. (13.5 kg) rods, and one pair of 50 lb. (22.5 kg) rods]. Hooking 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 connecting the Power Rod® caps to the cable hooks and disconnecting them, do not stand so that you are looking directly over the top of the rods. Stand off to the side, so that if a rod is accidentally released, you will not be struck by it. When You Are Not Using Your Bowflex Conquest™Home Gym Disconnect the cables from the Power Rod® unit when your are not using your Bowflex Conquest™ home gym. Use the rod binding strap included with your machine to bind all the rods together at the top. You can also place your cables and grips through the strap to keep them out of the way. Leaving the rods and cables under tension could cause injury if a rod were inadvertantly released.
