3 Using Your Bowflex Ultimate® 2 Power Rod® Resistance The Power Rod® units 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 Ultimate® 2 comes with 310 lb. (140 kg) 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 two pairs of 50 lb. (22.5 kg) rods}. If you upgraded to a 410 lb. (185 kg) capacity, you will have an additional pair of 50 lb. (22.5 kg) Power Rod® units. Note: The actual resistance supplied by the rods can vary because of environmental conditions, such as temperature or humidity. Hooking The Power Rod® Units 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® units 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® units from the cables. When You Are Not Using Your Bowflex Ultimate® 2 Disconnect the cables from the Power Rod® units when your are not using your Bowflex Ultimate® 2. 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.
