ADJUSTING THE WEIDER PRO 545 The weight bench is designed to be used with your own weight set (not included). The steps below explain how the weight bench can be adjusted. See EXERCISE GUIDELINES on page 17 for important exercise information and refer to the accompanying exercise poster to see the correct form for each exercise.
Page 15
ADJUSTING THE WEIGHT RESTS Squat exercises and toe raise exercises naturally require that the Weight Rests (37) be set to a different height than bench press exercises. You should always set the Weight Rests to a height which is comfortable for the exercise you will perform.
Page 16
ADJUSTING THE WIDTH OF THE SQUAT RACK If you buy a new barbell, you may need to change the width of the squat rack. If you are using an olympic barbell, you must use the wide setting. If you are using a five or six foot long barbell, you must use the narrow setting.
EXERCISE GUIDELINES THE FOUR BASIC TYPES OF WORKOUTS • Muscle Building In order to increase the size and strength of your muscles, you must push your muscles to a high per- centage of their capacity. You must also progressively increase the intensity of your exercise so that your muscles will continually adapt and grow.
for 3 minutes after each set if you are doing a muscle building workout, 1 minute after each set if you are doing a toning workout, and 30 seconds after each set if you are doing a weight loss workout. Plan to spend the first couple of weeks familiarizing yourself with the equipment and learning the proper form for each exercise.
