Hand Grips and Straps
The hand grips 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 toward the cuff.
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.
Abdominal Crunch Shoulder
Harness: 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.

How to Use Your Machine
Lat Pulldown Bar
The Lat Pulldown Bar enhances exercises
that work back, shoulders and triceps muscles.
Leg Extension Attachment
The leg extension attachment enables you to work
the major muscle groups in the legs.
Abdominal Crunch Shoulder Harness
The ab harness gives you the ability to strengthen
the muscles of the abdomen by safely adding
resistance to abdominal exercises. When using the
ab harness, relocate the pulleys from the chest bar
to the short abdominal bar.
Safety:
• Before using the grips, straps, lat bar, or ab
harness, make sure that all fasteners are in
place and tightened.
• Make sure that auxiliary cables for the lat bar
and leg extension are securely fastened to the
primary cables on the unit.
• Always use the lock knob on the slider to secure
pulleys. Do not allow pulleys to change position
during any exercise.
• Always use the bar holders to support the lat bar
or remove the bar when not in use.
• Do not hang from the Lat
Tower nor attempt to perform
"chin ups" from the bar.
• Never pull on the bar unless there
is resistance attached to it.
• Always use the Lock Knob
to secure the attachment to
your Bowflex Xtreme ®
home gym.
