sheathed with a protective black rubber coating. Each rod is marked with its weight rating

Adjusting and Understanding the Resistance

The standard Bowflex Xtreme
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 one pair of 50 lb. (22.5 kg) rods.
Note: Power Rod
Resistance Rods are manufactured using nylon composite material.

The weight resistance measurements are estimates and resistance can vary based on
environmental and usage patterns and other factors. Rod resistance will normally degrade
over time and after extensive usage. If you have any questions regarding the resistance of
your Power Rod Resistance Rods, contact our Bowflex
®
Service department for assistance.
If you upgraded to a 310 (140 kg) or 410 pound (186 kg) capacity
you will have an additional one or two pair of 50 lb. (22.5 kg) rods,
respectively.
Connecting the Power Rod
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
directly over the tops of the rods. Stand off to one side when connecting and
disconnecting the Power Rod
