Il.
Leam the Rule Of
Thumb:
Sometimes
referred to
as a
"false
grip"
or
"sissy grip",
ProSpot's
Rule Of
Thumb is a style
of
grip in which the thumb
does
not wrap around
the
bar but rests
alongside
the index
fingers. Using this
type of
grip
with
your ProSpot
FitnessrM
equipment
will
prevent
your
thumb
from maintaining
skin
contact with the
Touch Sensor
Strip when
you
attempt
to lock the bar
in
place.
IIL Once
you
have
grasped
the barbell,
you
will hear a soft
'click'
and
a solid red
light will
appe.u on
the Electronic
Box in
addition to
the flashing
green
power
light.
5. While still
grasping
the barbell,
lift
about 1",
using an even upward
lifting
motion on both
sides
of the barbell.
This upward
movement
will disengage
the
locking mechanism.
If
you have
performed this step correctly,
the barbell
will
now be under
your
control,
the cables
will move
freely over
the
pulleys
and
the slider
knuckles
will slide smoothly
up and
down the
guideposts.
You can now safely
perform any free-weight
exercise
without
the need of
a spotter.
Simply
Grab
and
Go@!
6.

in
place: When
you
are
finished with using
the barbell,
open
your hands to
remove
your
fingertips
from the
Touch Sensor
Strip at
the same continue
to
support
the barbell
with
your palms.
(Make
sure
no other
skin
contact is being
made
with the Touch
Sensor Strip.)
Slowly lower the
barbell until
it locks
into
position.
There
is a locking
position
every
1".
