Power Rod
®
Resistance
Power Rods are made from a special composite material.
Your rods are sheathed with a protective black rubber
coating. Each rod is marked with its weight rating on the
rod cap.
Adjusting And Understanding The
Resistance
The Bowflex Ultimate comes with
310 pounds of resistance (one pair
of 5-pound rods, two pairs of 10-
pound rods, one pair of 30-pound
rods, and two pairs of 50-pound
rods). If you upgraded to a 410
pound capacity, you will have an
additional pair of 50-pound Power
Rods.
Hooking The Power Rods
®
To The Cables:
You may use one rod or several rods in combination, to
create the desired resistance level. To hook multiple rods up
to one cable, simply bend the closest rod toward the cable
and place the cable hook through the rod cap. Then, hook
up the next closest rod.
Hooking up the most forward rod prevents rods from
crossing over the top of one another.
When You Are Not Using
Your Bowflex
Disconnect the cables from the
Power Rods when you are not
using your Bowflex.
Use the rod binding strap
included with your machine to
bind all the rods together
near the top. This keeps them
neat in appearance and makes
your Bowflex as compact as
possible. Place your cables and
grips through the strap to keep
them out of the way.
