5 Using Your Bowflex Ultimate® 2 The Workout Bench Your Bowflex Ultimate® 2 home gym has four different bench ­positions. To adjust the bench, simply locate the spring lock pin on the side of the seat. Pull out pin to release seat, then slide it to the desired position. Pull out pin, give it half a turn, and release to place it in a "free sliding" position for exercises such as rowing. Quick Release Bench: The long portion of your bench attaches to and releases from the seat portion very easily. To attach it, simply insert the half hinge on the end of the bench into the half hinge on the seat. For standing exercises, simply remove the bench by lifting up on the long portion and pulling away from the seat. Flat Position: Along the side of the seat rail there are three holes for the spring lock seat pin. Pull out on the pin and slide the entire bench forward until the spring lock seat pin locks into a hole. With the bench in the flat position, there are two possible holes for the spring lock pin to lock into, one forward and one back. Incline Position: Start with the bench flat in the furthest position away from the Power Rod® units. Pull out on the spring lock seat pin and lift the long bench pad up. Slide forward until the pin locks into the farthest forward hole. Rest the bench's incline support bracket on the base of the Power Rod® units. "Free Sliding" Position: Remove the long ­bench pad. Pull out on the spring lock seat pin, Using the Bowflex Ultimate® 2 Hand Grips The Bowflex Ultimate® 2 hand grips can be used as regular grips, hand cuffs or ankle cuffs. Regular Grip: Grasp the handle and cuff together to form a grip without inserting your hand through the cuff portion. Most of the ­exercises you ­perform utilize this grip. Hand Cuff Grip: Slip your hand through the cuff portion of the grip 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. Grips manufactured under license agreement with Hands-On Sports & Gym Accessories, Inc. Patent #4756527
