How to Use Your Machine Seat Locking Pin The Seat Locking Pin securely fastens the seat bottom bracket to the seat support rail. The locking pin serves to stabilize the seat for all exercises that require sitting or leaning on it. Make sure the seat has been secured before putting weight on it or attaching Power Rod® resistance to cables attached to the Leg Extension attachment. Handgrips and Straps The handgrips 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 Abdominal Crunch toward the cuff. Shoulder Harness: 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. 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. Lat Pulldown Bar The Lat Pulldown Bar enhances exercises that work back, shoulders and triceps muscles. 10 Bowflex Xtreme® 2 SE Owner's Manual
