POWER ROD
®
RESISTANCE
Power 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 standard Bowflex
comes with 210 pounds
of resistance (one pair
of 5-lb. rods, two pair of
10-lb. rods, one pair of
30-lb. rods, and one pair
of 50-lb. rods). If you
upgraded to a 310 or 410
pound capacity you will
have an additional one or two pair of 50-lb.
Power Rods, respectively.
Hooking The Power Rods
®
To The Cables
You may use one rod or several rods in
combination, to create the desired resistance
level. To hook multiple rods up to one cable,
simply bend the furthest forward rod toward
the cable and place the cable hook through the
rod cap. Now you can
hook up the next furthest
back rod.
Hooking up the forward
most rod prevents rods
from crossing over the
top of one another.
Safety
• When hooking up the
Power Rods, do not
stand directly over the
tops of the rods. Stand
off to the side while
connecting and discon-
necting the Power Rods
from the cables.

using your Bowflex.

bind all the rods
together at the top.
Place your cables
and grips through
the strap to keep
them out of the way.
