A. Safety Factors Pleas be sure to use the following safety cautions when using your IMPEX
fitness bench:
1. Warm up thoroughly and stay warm throughout your workout by wearing sufficient clothing and
starting your next set within two minutes after your last one.
2. Use a spotter whenever you do bench presses, equates or other heavy bodybuilding exercise.
3. Wear a weight lifting belt whenever you do overhead presses, equate or heavy back work.
4. Before beginning any exercise program, consult your physician. If the user experiences dizziness,
nausea, chest pain or any abnormal styptics, stop the workout at once. CONSULT A PHYSICIAN
IMMEDIATELY.
B. Free Weight Workout Begin your workout program by introducing a warm-up barbell
exercise routine. Please refer to the attached diagram and program instructions.
C. Bench Workout The IMPEX bench workout program consists of bench press exercise, leg
developer exercises, and butterfly exercise.
1. Flat Bench Press Always use a spotter when you are doing maximum pound ages in the bench
press. Place your bench pad completely flat. Lie back on the bench and set your feet solidly on
either side of the bench, your legs bent at 90 degree angles. Your head should be almost directly
beneath the racked barbell when you are oriented correctly on the bench. Reach up and take an
over-grip on the bar with your hands set 4-6 inches wider than your shoulders on each side.
Keeping your elbows almost directly out to the sides throughout the movement, slowly lower the
weight down to touch the middle of your chest. Simply reverse direction with the bar and push it
strongly to the starting point.
2. Incline Bench Press Adjust the bench pad to a incline position and lock your bench support bar
into the height positioned desired. Repeat the same process as mentioned above. The incline
bench presses will shift the body development to the upper section and pectoral muscles.
3. Lying Leg Curl Lie face down on the flat padded surface of the bench with your legs straight and
slide toward the foot end until you can comfortably hook your heels beneath the roller pads. Grasp
the side of the bench and begin raising your legs in a upward position and lowering in a slow manner.
4. Seated Leg curl Position yourself in a seated position towards the end of the bench where the leg
developer is connected. Hook your legs over the highest roller pads and hook your ankles
underneath the lowest roller pads. Grasp the side of the bench and begin raising your legs in an
upward position and lowering in a slow manner.
5. Butterfly Curls Place the bench pad flat and position your head beneath the rack. Place your
hands underneath the butterfly roller pads and grasp tight. Begin pulling both butterfly arms towards
your chest and repeat exercise and desired.
