Power Rod® Resistance
Power Rod® units 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®2 home gym
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 Rod
® units, respectively.
Hooking the Power Rod®
Unit to the Cables
You may use one rod or
several rods in combination,
to create your desired
resistance level.
To hook multiple rods up to
one cable, bend the closest
rod toward the cable and
place the cable hook
through that rod cap.
You can then hook up
the next closest rod
through the same cable
hook.
Hooking up the closest
rod first prevents rods
from crossing over the
top of one another.
Storing the Bowflex® Xtreme®2 Home Gym
Disconnect the
cables from the
Power Rod
®
unit when your
are not using
your

Xtreme

2 home
gym. 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.

side when connecting and

Rod® unit from the cables.
