The Bench Bar enables you to simulate the
exercises that you would do with the barbell
on a weight bench. This can be used instead
of the handles for appropriate exercises.
With the Rope Assembly in the Side Pulley
Setup place the Bench Bar across the top of
the Glide Board. Lie down on the Glide
Board while placing your feet on the Lower
Incline Rail & grasp the Bench Bar.
Push the Glide Board up the Incline Rail and
position the Bench Bar in-front with your
arms straight and take the tension while you
lift your feet onto the Glide Board.

Bench Press step 2
Push the Glide Board up the Incline Rail and
position the Bench Bar in-front with your
arms straight and take the tension while you
lift your feet onto the Glide Board.
Slowly lower your arms resisting the weight
until the Bench Bar almost touches your
chest, & return to the arm straight position.
NOTE: All the exercises that utilize the
Bench Bar can also be done using the
Handles. The choice is yours. The
difference is the equivalent between
working with dumbbells or a bar on a weight
bench.
