Power Rod ® Resistance
The 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 Bowflex Ultimate ® 2
comes with 310 lb. (140 kg)
of nominal resistance {one
pair of 5 lb. (2.25 kg) rods,
two pairs of 10 lb. (4.5 kg)
rods, one pair of 30 lb. (13.5
kg) rods, and two pairs of
50 lb. (22.5 kg) rods}. If you
upgraded to a 410 lb. (185
kg) capacity, you will have
an additional pair of 50 lb. (22.5 kg) Power Rod ®
units.
Note: The actual resistance supplied by the
rods can vary because of
environmental conditions,
such as temperature or
humidity.
Hooking The Power Rod ®
Units 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.
Safety
When hooking the Power
Rod ® units to the cable
hooks, do not stand
directly over the tops of
the rods. Stand off to one
side when connecting
and disconnecting the
Power Rod ® units from the
cables.
When You Are Not
Using Your
Bowflex Ultimate
® 2
Disconnect the
cables from the
Power Rod ® units
when your are not

Ultimate ® 2. 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.
