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 standard Bowflex®
Xtreme
TM
comes with
210 pounds of resistance
(one pair of 5 pound
rods, two pair of 10
pound rods, one pair of
30 pound rods, and one
pair of 50 pound rods).
If you upgraded to a 310 or 410 pound capacity you
will have an additional one or two pair of 50 pound
Power Rods, respectively.
Hooking The Power Rods
ToThe Cables
You may use one rod or
several rods in combination,
to create your desired
resistance level.
To hook multiple rods up to
one ca b l e,bend the cl o s e s t
rod tow a rd the cable and
place the cable hook thro u g h
that rod ca p.You can then
h o o k up the next closest ro d
t h r ough the same cable hook .
Hooking up the closest rod
first 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
your are not using
your Bowflex. Use
the rod binding
strap included with
your machine to
bind all the rods
together at the top.
You can also place
your cables and grips
through the strap to
keep them out of
the way.

Safety
When hooking the
Power Rods to the cable
hooks, do not stand
directly over the tops of
the rods. Stand off to
one side when
connecting and
disconnecting the Power
Rods from the cables.
