Need help?Do you have a question about the Weider WEBE13101 and is the answer not in the manual?
The Weider Pro 455 is a versatile weight bench designed for home use, enabling users to develop major muscle groups for various fitness goals, including shaping, increasing muscle size and strength, and improving cardiovascular health. This manual provides comprehensive instructions for assembly, safe operation, and maintenance, ensuring users can maximize their workout experience.
The Weider Pro 455 weight bench serves as a foundational piece of home gym equipment, supporting a wide range of strength training exercises. It is designed to be used with a personal weight set (not included), allowing for customizable resistance levels. The bench features adjustable components, including uprights and a backrest, to accommodate different exercises and user preferences. A key feature is the integrated leg lever, which facilitates leg curl and extension exercises, targeting the quadriceps and hamstrings. The bench also includes weight rests for safely holding barbells during exercises such as bench presses. Its robust construction is engineered to support a significant amount of weight, including the user, a weight bar, and additional weights, making it suitable for progressive overload training.
The Weider Pro 455 offers several adjustable features to enhance its versatility and user comfort. The uprights, which hold the barbell, can be adjusted to five different heights, allowing users to customize the starting position for various upper body exercises. It is crucial to ensure both uprights are set at the same height and that the adjustment knobs are fully inserted and tightened for safety.
The backrest is another highly adjustable component, offering multiple positions: decline, level, and two incline settings. This adjustability allows for a broad spectrum of exercises, from decline presses to incline flyes, targeting different angles of the chest and shoulders. Adjusting the backrest involves removing and re-inserting an adjustment pin through specific holes in the adjustment tubes, which must be fully inserted and secured with a pin clip to prevent accidental movement during exercise.
The leg lever is a standout feature, designed for lower body workouts. Users can slide desired weights (not included) onto the weight tube of the leg lever to perform leg curls and extensions. For leg curl exercises, the front pad tube and foam pads must be removed to allow for the full range of motion. When using the leg lever, it is recommended to place at least ten pounds on the weight rests to balance the bench, especially when adding significant weight to the leg lever itself. A curl post is also provided, which can be attached to the front leg for bicep curl exercises, further expanding the range of upper body workouts. When not in use, a square inner cap should be inserted into the front leg for safety.
The manual emphasizes the importance of proper exercise form, moving through the full range of motion, and controlled movements to achieve the greatest benefits and prevent injury. It also provides guidelines for different workout types—muscle building, toning, weight loss, and cross-training—offering advice on weight selection, repetitions, sets, and rest periods. Users are encouraged to warm up before each workout with light stretching and exercise, and cool down afterward with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching to improve flexibility. Exercising with a partner is strongly recommended, particularly for bench press exercises, to ensure safety and provide assistance if a repetition cannot be completed.
Maintaining the Weider Pro 455 is straightforward and essential for ensuring its longevity and safe operation. Users are instructed to inspect and tighten all parts each time the weight bench is used. This regular check helps to identify any loose components that could compromise stability or safety during workouts. Any worn parts should be replaced immediately to prevent further damage or potential injury.
The manual also provides guidance on cleaning the weight bench. It can be cleaned with a damp cloth and a mild, non-abrasive detergent. Users are explicitly warned against using solvents, as these could damage the finish or materials of the bench.
A critical maintenance aspect highlighted is the lubrication of specific bolts, such as the M10 x 178mm Bolt for attaching the backrest tubes to the frame, and the M10 x 72mm Bolt for attaching the leg lever to the front leg. Proper lubrication ensures smooth movement of these pivoting parts and prevents premature wear. For the leg lever attachment, it is specified not to overtighten the nylon locknut, allowing the leg lever to pivot freely, which is crucial for its intended function.
The manual also addresses the replacement of warning decals. If the original decal is missing or illegible, users can order a free replacement from customer service. Applying a clear and visible warning decal is important for maintaining safety awareness.
Overall, the Weider Pro 455 is designed for ease of use and maintenance, with clear instructions to help users keep their equipment in optimal condition for a safe and effective fitness regimen.
