(47), and locknut (43).
Step 26:
Align the same cable above another pulley wheel (61). Secure the
pulley wheel (61) and pulley guide sleeves (62) between the pulley
panels (27) with bolt (36), washers (47), and locknut (43). Attach
snap hooks (69) to either end of the short chain (67). Attach the
chain to the bottom cable (64) Then open snap hooks and attach
the assembly to the tab welded to the base frame.
Step 27:
To lock the home gym in “safe position” insert the P pull pin (73) through the loop in the safety wire (79) and push
into the lowest hole of the selector shaft (12). This will keep the stack from moving, and will need to be removed
before the next exercise period.

8. EXERCISE GUIDELINES
Each workout should include 6 to 10 different exercises. Select exercises for every major muscle group, emphasizing
areas that you want to develop most. To give balance and variety to your workouts, vary the exercises from session
to session. Schedule your workouts for the time of day when your energy level is the highest. Each workout should
be followed by at least one day of rest. Once you find the schedule that is right for you, stick with it.
EXERCISE FORM
Maintaining proper form is an essential part of an effective exercise program. This requires moving through the full
range of motion for each exercise, and moving only the appropriate parts of the body. Exercising in an uncontrolled
manner will leave you feeling exhausted. The repetitions in each set should be performed smoothly and without
pausing. The exertion stage of each repetition should last about half as long as the return stage. Proper breathing is
important. Exhale during the exertion stage of each repetition and inhale during the return stroke. Never hold your
breath.
Rest for a short period of time after each set. The ideal resting periods are:
Rest for three minutes after each set for a muscle-building workout.
Rest for one minute after each set for a toning workout.
Rest for 30 seconds after each set for a weight loss workout.
Plan to spend the first couple of weeks getting familiar with the equipment and learning the proper form for each
exercise.
COOLING DOWN
End each workout with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching. Include stretches for both your arms and legs. Move slowly as
you stretch and do not bounce. Ease into each stretch gradually and go only as far as you can without strain.
Stretching at the end of each workout is an effective way to increase flexibility.
STAYING MOTIVATED
For motivation, keep a record of each workout. List the date, the exercises performed, the resistance used, and the
numbers of sets and repetitions completed. Record your weight and key body measurements at the end of every
month. Remember, the key to achieving the greatest results is to make exercise a regular and enjoyable part of your
everyday life.
