• IMPORTANT: Do not attempt to lift a free weight of the same amount that you can push on the DYNO . The DYNO lift is not limited by your “weak point” of the motion. Therefore, the DYNO force reading may be greater than the amount of free weight you can lift. -
Page 4: Introduction
The Concept2 DYNO is based on the concept of dynamic strength training. The resistance you feel is a direct response to your effort. The more force you are capable of applying to the DYNO , the more you “lift.” A measurement of your effort for each repetition will be displayed. -
Page 5: Force Monitor Use
FORCE MONITOR Terminology • Rep - short for repetition. Each press or pull that you do is one rep. • Set - a group of reps is called a set. Description of Display Top right: Top left: This display counts down the warm-up reps. When you start, After the warm-up, this display shows how many reps you have done. -

Using the memory buttons: • Upon completion of the last rep, the “results screen” will be displayed. At this point the moni- tor is not in the memory mode. • If the user presses the SETS or the REPS button while in the “results screen” (or in an “ON” state activated by pressing the ON button) the monitor goes into recall mode. -
Page 9: Getting Started
If you have been doing regular weight training workouts, you may feel comfortable pushing harder during your first DYNO workout. If you have not been doing any weight training, start easily and give yourself a few workouts to build up to full effort. - Page 10 2) Leg Press a) Set the handle high enough to be out of the way of your knees. b) Foot height: Adjust the Flexfoot so that the ball of your foot rests on the flat stationary section of the Flexfoot. c) Damper levers: Start in the range of 2-4 dampers open.
- Page 11 When you are comfortable, record all settings so you can duplicate them for your next DYNO session. By the end of the first workout, you should have established your settings and compression tar- gets.

Page 12: Training
TRAINING Dampers, Speed, Force & Training The damper levers affect the air flow to the fan, which in turn determines how fast the DYNO carriage will move when a given force is applied. • When more dampers are open, you will tend to achieve a higher force but at a slower speed of movement. - Page 13 #1 DYNO Leg Press: Press as many reps with as high a power output as possible in 30 seconds followed by a two-minute recovery period.

Page 14: Lift" Variations
“Lift” Variations Leg Press variations: • You can set the height of your feet. • You can increase or decrease the amount of leg compression. • You can change the number of open dampers to alter the speed at which your force is applied. -
