G u i d e l i n e s
Successful resistance training programs have one prominent feature in common...safety. Resistance training
has some inherent dangers, as do all physical activities. The chance of injury can be greatly reduced or
completely removed by using correct lifting techniques, proper breathing, maintaining equipment in good
working condition, and by wearing the appropriate clothing.
1. It is highly recommended that you consult your physician before beginning any exercise program.
This is especially important for individuals over the age of 35, or persons with pre-existing health
problems.
2. Always warm up before starting a workout. Try to do a total body warm up before you start. It is
especially important to warm up the specific muscle groups you are going to be using. This can
be as simple as performing a warm up set of high repetitions and light weight for each exercise.
3. Use proper form. Focus on only working the muscle groups intended for the exercise you are doing.
If there is strain elsewhere, you may need to re-evaluate the amount of weight that is involved with

6. Maintaining equipment in proper operating condition is of utmost importance for a safe resistance
training program. Pulleys and cables should be checked for wear frequently and replaced as needed.
Equipment should be lubricated as indicated by the manufacturer.
7. Read and study all warning labels on this machine. It is absolutely necessary that you familiarize
yourself and all others with the proper operation of this machine prior to use.
8. Keep hands, limbs, loose clothing and long hair well out of the way of all moving parts.
9. Do not attempt to lift more weight than you can control safely.
10.Inspect the machine daily for loose or worn parts. If a problem is found do not allow the machine to
be used until all parts are tightened or worn or defective parts are repaired or replaced.

Installation Requirements
Follow these installation requirements when assembling
the G2B:
Set up the G2B on a solid, flat surface. A smooth, flat
surface under the machine helps keep it level. A
level machine has fewer malfunctions.
Provide ample space around the machine. Open
space around the machine allows for easier access.
Insert all bolts in the same direction. For aesthetic
purposes, insert all bolts in the same direction unless
specified (in text or illustrations) to do otherwise.
Leave room for adjustments. Tighten fasteners such as
bolts, nuts, and screws so the unit is stable, but leave
room for adjustments. Do not fully tighten fasteners
until instructed in the assembly steps to do so.
Fill out and mail warranty card.

I n s t r u c t i o n s
Assembly of the G2B takes professional installers about 3 hours to complete. If this is the first time you have
assembled this type of equipment, plan on significantly more time.
Professional installers are highly recommended!
However, if you acquire the appropriate tools, obtain assistance, and follow the assembly steps sequentially,
the process will take time, but is fairly easy.
Assembly Tips
IMPORTANT!
Read all “Notes” on each page before beginning each step.
Before you begin you should fold-out pages 82, 83 and 84.
While you may be able to assemble the G2B using the
illustrations only, important safety notes and other tips are
included in the text.
This is a quick reference guide that shows all hardware
parts (in actual size) along with the corresponding key
numbers on the assembly instructions.
Some pieces may have extra holes that you will not use. Use
only those holes indicated in the instructions and illustrations.
NOTE: To find out the length of a particular bolt, measure its
shank (the long, narrow part beneath the head). Refer to the
following diagram:
Do not fully tighten bolts until instructed to do so.
Note: After assembly, you should check all functions
to ensure correct operation. If you experience
problems, first recheck the assembly instructions
to locate any possible errors made during assembly.
If you are unable to correct the problem, call the
dealer from whom you purchased the machine or
call 1-800-556-3113 for the dealer nearest you.

Warning
Safety and Maintenance of Cables
Although Body-Solid provides the highest quality of materials and
workmanship in its products, the fact remains that component parts eventually wear
out over time and with use. This is particularly true with reference to pliable
moving parts such as cables. In spite of any expressed and/or implied warranties,
intervening factors such as improper use, unusually heavy use, improper installation,
improper alignment, poor maintenance, etc. serve to drastically reduce the usable
life and safety of cables.
Be advised that dangerous conditions can arise even during warranty
periods and that any expressed and/or implied warranties Do Not Negate the
owner’s responsibility to thoroughly, carefully and daily inspect all cables on this
machine.
Serious injury can occur if you are struck by falling weights or moving parts.
The risk that you assume by using this type of equipment can be reduced by
following a few simple steps:
Cable inspection should be performed daily. Inspect all cables, the
nylon coating on all cables and the area near the fittings at each end of each cable.
Replace any damaged or worn cables immediately. Do not allow the machine to
be used until damaged or worn cables are replaced.
Important: Cables are wear items. It is your responsibility to prevent
unexpected breakage. The actual wire strands, the fittings and the nylon coating
itself must all be scrutinized. Using or allowing a machine to be used with a suspect
cable can result in serious injury.
The nylon coating on a cable is essential for cable life and safety. Visually
inspect all cables and pulleys. Look at the cables as they travel around the cams
and pulleys. A cable that is wearing may exhibit a “ballooned” or broken coating in
the area that passes over the pulley. Damage to the coating is an early warning
signal. A cable should be replaced if the nylon coating is missing, is damaged in
anyway, has pulled or shrunk from the fittings at the end of the cables, or if it is
discolored. Discoloration of the cable coating is an early indication of internal
problems such as wear or fraying.
Annual cable replacement (semiannual in multi-user settings) is strongly
recommended as an additional precaution. The rate at which cables wear depends
on many factors including: number of users, number of repetitions, weight setting,
misuse, abuse, etc. Because of this, periodic cable replacement is not a sufficient
safeguard against unexpected breakage.
Nothing short of a thorough, careful, daily inspection constitutes an
adequate safety program.

replaced.
l Visually inspect the cables for fraying, cracking,
peeling or discoloration.
l Check slack in cables and re-adjust cable tension
if needed. See pages 38-39.
l Check that the jam nut on the selector rod top
bolt is tight.
UPHOLSTERY:
l Wipe down after every workout.
l Periodically take the time to use a mild soap or a
mild vinyl upholstery cleaner. Avoid using any
abrasive cleaner not intended for use on vinyl.
l Keep sharp or pointed objects out of your
pockets and clear of all upholstery.
NUTS/BOLTS/FASTENERS:
l Periodically inspect all nuts and bolts. Tighten if
needed. If bolts seem to loosen periodically, use
Loctite 242 for a long-term cure.
Be sure to instruct all end-users of proper
usage.
l Go through a re-tightening sequence periodically
to ensure that all hardware is properly tensioned.
Be sure all supervisors and personal trainers
who instruct end-users on equipment use are
properly trained and know the function and
importance of every adjustment and setting.
Also, be sure these trainers provide proper
instruction to end-users on the fundamentals
of strength training.

• Work out at least two times a week.
• Include six to eight exercises that train major muscle groups.
• Perform two or three sets of at least eight to 12 repetitions.
AEROBIC
EXERCISE LARGE MUSCLES FIRST
Exercise that primarily uses oxygen to burn fuel at low to moderate levels of intensity. Running
and jogging are examples of aerobic exercise.
You should work your large muscle groups first (ie. squat, bench press, lat pulldown) before
you exercise your small muscle groups (ie. bicep curls, tricep pressdowns, lateral raises).
ANAEROBIC
EXERCISE PROGRAM DURATION
Exercise that primarily uses the body’s stored fuel for energy. Intense weightlifting is an
example of an anaerobic exercise.
A weight training routine should take anywhere from 45 minutes to one hour to complete. Add
another 20 to 60 minutes when you include stretching, warm-up, aerobics and cool-down.

GIVE YOUR MUSCLES A REST
Decrease of a muscle caused by the decrease in the size of its cells because of inactivity.
You’ll get the most out of strength training if you give your muscles at least 48 hours rest to
recover and rebuild between strength training workouts.
BALLISTIC STRETCHING
HYPERTROPHY
A stretching technique that involves a bouncing or bobbing movement during the stretch. The
final position is not held. This is not a recommended stretching technique.
Enlargement of a muscle caused by an increase in the size of its cells in response to weight
training.
BREATHING
INTENSITY
Never hold your breath during any part of an exercise. Holding your breath may cause severe
intra-thoracic pressure and raise blood pressure leading to dizziness, blackout or other
complications. The rule of thumb is to exhale on exertion and inhale on the return part of the
exercise.
The degree to which the body is worked during exercise.
ISOKINETIC EXERCISE
Resistance is given at a fixed velocity of movement with accommodating intensity. A machine
that moves you through an entire range of motion at a preset speed and will not change no
matter how much pressure is put forth by the individual.
CARDIOVASCULAR
Referring to the heart, lungs, and other periphery systems involved in the transport of oxygen
throughout the body.
ISOMETRIC EXERCISE
CHALLENGE YOUR MUSCLES
Contracts the muscle statically without changing its length. Example: Attempting to lift a
weight heavier than you can handle, but cannot move.
All strength training should progress gradually, using increases in weight until your goals are
reached. Then, change your workout to include increased reps or a higher weight resistance.
Alter the order of your exercises, perform multiple sets or different exercises to maintain
results or reach new goals.
ISOTONIC EXERCISE
Shortens and lengthens the muscle through a complete range of motion. This defines weight
training with full range of motion.
CHANGE ROUTINE
MUSCLE FATIGUE
Beginner’s please note: If you want to make changes in the exercise routine that you do,
wait until about the six to eight week point. Advanced lifters may want to change routines to
avoid plateus in gaining size or strength.
Fatigue is when you can’t possibly do another rep without sacrificing form.
MUSCULAR ENDURANCE
CIRCUIT TRAINING
The ability to perform repetitive muscular contractions against some resistance.
Exercise stations that consist of various combinations of weight training, flexibility,
calisthenics, and aerobic exercise.
MUSCULAR STRENGTH
The maximum force that can be applied by a muscle during a single maximum contraction.
CONCENTRIC MUSCLE ACTION
OSTEOPOROSIS
The muscle shortens while contracting against resistance.
A decrease in bone density.
ECCENTRIC MUSCLE ACTION
PLYOMETRIC EXERCISE
The muscle lengthens while contracting against resistance.
A technique that includes specific exercises which encompass a rapid stretch of a muscle
eccentrically, followed immediately by a rapid concentric contraction of that muscle for the
purpose of facilitating and developing a forceful explosive movement over a short period of
time. Examples of these are using medicine balls for upper extremity and depth jumping for
lower extremeity.
EXERCISE FREQUENCY
Exercise each muscle group 2-3 times per week. Allow a minimum of 48 hours rest for each
muscle group worked. If you are doing a total-body workout, three training sessions per
week, performed on every second day, is adequate.

PHRASES, TERMS, TIPS
& GUIDELINES
S T A R T I N G
R E S I S T A N C E
L E V E L
If you begin weight training at too high a level, you risk serious injury. You will also develop poor form,
which will hinder your efforts and discourage you. Use this as a guideline: if you cannot lift the weight
eight times with proper form, the weight is too heavy. Similarly, don’t choose too light a weight; the
last two or three repetitions of your set should be difficult.
POWER
REST INTERVAL
Power is the rate of performing work. Power during a repetition is defined as the weight
lifted times the vertical distance the weight is lifted divided by the time to complete the
repetition. Power during a repetition can be increased by lifting the same weight the same
vertical distance in a shorter period of time. Power can also be increased by lifting a heavier
resistance the same vertical distance in the same period of time as a lighter resistance.
Allow a brief pause between sets to give your muscles a chance to partially recover before
working them again. For power and muscle size development allow a 3 to 4 minute rest
interval between sets. For muscular endurance and definition allow a 30 second rest interval.
For strength training allow a 60 to 90 second rest interval.
RISK SHOULD NOT EXCEED BENEFIT
PROGRESS GRADUALLY
Increase reps before increasing resistance. Reduce rest intervals between sets to increase
intensity.
If the risk of a specific exercise exceeds its potential benefit, it is best to stay on the
conservative side. There are several ways to work specific muscle groups. Choose those that
provide minimal risk. Ask a fitness professional for guidance.
PROGRESSIVE RESISTANCE
ROUTINE
The principle of continually adding more weight to a specific exercise as your muscles
become stronger to adapt to the heavier weights.
The specific exercises, sets, reps and weight for a specific body part.
SET
PROPER FORM
This is a group of repetitions performed continuously without stopping. While a set can be
made up of any number of repetitions, sets typically range from 1 to 15 repetitions.
Focus on the proper motion of the exercise and concentrate on the specific muscles being
used. Do not sacrifice proper form to lift heavier weight or to perform more repetitions. Proper
form also means lifting in a smooth, fluid motion. If you feel strain elsewhere, you should
re-evaluate the amount of weight you are lifting or have a qualified professional critique your
exercise motion.
SMALL MUSCLE GROUP EXERCISE
Single joint movement and isolation exercises (i.e. bicep curls, tricep pressdowns and leg
extensions).
PROPER POSTURE
SPEED OF MOVEMENT
Maintaining proper posture will greatly reduce chances of injury and maximize exercise
benefit. When standing always keep your feet shoulder-width apart. Do not lock your knees.
Locking your knees can put unnecessary strain on them. Keep your back flat and straight,
making sure not to twist or arch it in order to complete a repetition.
Strength training movements should be slow and controlled. Do not use momentum to complete
an exercise movement. Momentum puts unnecessary stress on tendons, ligaments and joints.
Using momentum in your exercise movements does not develop increased strength.
STATIC STRETCHING
PROPER TECHNIQUE
A stretching technique that involves holding a specific muscle or muscle group at a desired
length for a certain period of time. This type of stretching is highly recommended.
To get the most out of strength training and to reduce the chance of injury, use proper weight
training techniques. These include working your muscles through their full range of motion
(but not locking any joints), lifting at a speed at which you can control the weight and stop
easily if necessary.
STOP TRAINING IF YOU FEEL PAIN
If you feel pain during a specific exercise stop immediately. Any continuation may aggravate
an existing injury. Re-evaluate your routine to make sure that you are doing a proper warm up.
Decrease the amount of weight you are lifting. Talk to a qualified personal trainer, health
professional or your doctor.
RANGE OF MOTION
Moving through a complete range of motion (ROM) allows the muscles to stretch before
contraction and increases the number of muscle fibers being recruited. This produces
maximum contraction and force. By working the full ROM, flexibility will be maintained and
possibly increased.
STRENGTH
Strength is the maximal amount of force a muscle or muscle group can generate in a
specified movement pattern at a specified velocity of movement.
REPETITION
WARM UP
A repetition is one complete movement of an exercise. It normally consists of two phases: the
concentric muscle action, or lifting of the resistance, and the eccentric muscle action, or
lowering of the resistance.
This cannot be stressed enough. Many workout-related injuries can be avoided by a proper
warm up routine. Try to do a total body warm up before you start training. A good example of
a total body warm up is using a stationary bike, treadmill, elliptical, rowing or skiing machine.
It is especially important to warm up specific muscle groups you are going to be using. Your
muscles need a 5 to 15 minute warm up as well as a brief cool down. This can be as simple
as performing a warm up set of high repetitions and light weight (25% to 50% of your training
weight) for each exercise.
REPETITION MAXIMUM (RM)
This is the maximum number of repetitions per set that can be performed at a given
resistance with proper lifting technique. Thus, a set at a certain RM implies the set is
performed to momentary voluntary fatigue. 1RM is the heaviest resistance that can be used
for one compete repetition of an exercise. 10 RM is a lighter resistance that allows completion
of 10 (but not 11) repetitions with proper exercise technique.
WORKOUT
The routine, specific exercises, weights, sets, and reps for one or more body parts.

NUTRITION
Good nutrition is a diet in which foods are eaten in
proper quantities and with the needed distribution of
nutrients to maintain good health. Malnutrition, on
the other hand, is the result of a diet in which
there is an underconsumption, overconsumption, or
unbalanced consumption of nutrients that leads to
disease or an increased susceptibility to disease.
What is stated in the above definitions is the fact that
proper nutrition is essential to good health. A history of
poor nutritional choices will eventually lead to poor
health consequences.
There are many substances necessary for the proper
functioning of the body. Nutrients are the substances
that the body requires for the maintenance of health,
growth, and to repair tissues. Nutrients can be divided
into six classes: carbohydrates, fats, proteins, vitamins,
minerals and water. Carbohydrates, or "carbs", are
nutrients that are composed of carbon, hydrogen and
oxygen, and are essential sources of energy in the
body. Grains, vegetables, and fruits are excellent
sources of carbohydrates. It is recommended that
at least 55% to 60% of the total number of calories
consumed come from carbohydrates (American
Diabetes Association, Diabetes & Exercise, 1990). It is
further recommended that 10% or less of the total
calories consumed come from simple sugars like a
candy bar.
One of the many benefits of consuming foods that are
high in complex carbohydrates, such as rice, pasta,
and whole grain breads, is that they also typically
contain dietary fiber. Dietary fiber is a term used when
referring to substances found in plants that cannot be
broken down by the human digestive system. Although
fiber cannot be digested, it is important in helping to
avoid cancers of the digestive system, hemorrhoids,
constipation, and diverticular disease because it helps
food move quickly and easily through the digestive
system. It is recommended that people consume
20 to 30 grams of fiber per day (American Diabetes
Association, Diabetes & Exercise, 1990). Excellent
sources of dietary fiber are grains, vegetables,
legumes, and fruit.
directly related to increased cardiovascular disease.
Unsaturated fats are typically liquid at room temperature.
Corn, peanut, canola, and soybean oil are sources of
unsaturated fats. It is recommended that no more than
30% of one’s diet be composed of fats. Ten percent or
less of the total calories consumed should come from
saturated fats. One way to reduce saturated fat intake
would be to substitute margarine for butter.
Proteins are substances composed of carbon, hydrogen,
oxygen, and nitrogen. Proteins are made by combining
amino acids. Amino acids are nitrogen-containing
building blocks for proteins that can be used for energy.
Amino acids can combine in innumerable ways to form
proteins, and it is estimated that tens of thousands of
different types of proteins exist in the body. It is the
ordering of the amino acids that provides the unique
structure and function of proteins.
There are proteins in both meat products and plant
products. Animal sources of protein such as milk,
meat and eggs contain the eight essential amino
acids (amino acids that the body cannot synthesize
and therefore must be ingested). Plant sources of
protein such as beans, starchy vegetables, nuts, and
grains do not always contain all eight amino acids.
Because of this, vegetarians must consume a variety
of protein-containing foods. It is recommended that
proteins make up 10% to 15% of one’s daily calories.
This will ensure adequate protein for growth,
maintenance, and the repair of cells. Protein
requirements for adults are not as high as those
recommended for infants, children, and young adults.
Note: individuals who are training intensely will have
an increase in their protein requirements.
a decrease in the total amount of bone mineral in the
body and by a decrease in strength of the remaining
bone. This condition is most common in the elderly
but may also exist in younger people who have diets
inadequate in calcium or vitamin D or both.
Iron is another mineral that is often underconsumed
by Americans. This is especially true of women. The
oxygen-carrying properties of hemoglobin (blood)
depend on the presence of iron. Anemia is a condition
characterized by a decreased capacity to transport
oxygen in the blood, and is also common in those
lacking a sufficient amount of iron intake. Red meat
and eggs are excellent sources of iron. Additionally
spinach, lima and navy beans, and prune juice are
excellent vegetarian sources of iron.
Sodium, on the other hand, is a mineral that many
Americans over-consume. High sodium intake has
been linked with hypertension, as well as high blood
pressure. People can substantially reduce their
sodium intake by limiting consumption of processed
foods and decreasing the amount of salt added to
foods when cooking.
In conclusion...don’t forget hydration. Water is
considered an essential nutrient because of its vital
role in the normal functioning of the body. Water
contributes approximately 60% of the total body
weight and is essential in creating an environment
in which all metabolic processes occur. Water is
necessary to regulate temperature and to transport
substances throughout the body.
Vitamins are organic substances that are essential to
the normal functioning of the human body. Although
vitamins do not contain energy to be used by the body,
these substances are essential in the metabolism of
fats, carbohydrates and proteins. Because of the
critical role vitamins play, it is necessary that they exist
in proper quantities in the body.
1.
Fats are an essential part of a healthy diet and serve
vital functions in the human body. Among the functions
performed by fats are temperature regulation,
protection of vital organs, distribution of some vitamins,
energy production, and formation of component parts
of cell membranes. Like carbohydrates, fats are
composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen.
However, their chemical structure is different.
Minerals are inorganic molecules that serve a variety
of functions in the human body. The minerals that
appear in the largest quantities (calcium, phosphorus,
potassium, sulfur, sodium, chloride, and magnesium)
are often called macrominerals. Other minerals are
also essential to normal functioning of the body, but
because they exist in smaller quantities (chromium,
iron, copper, fluoride, iodine, manganese, molybdenum,
selenium, and zinc) they are called microminerals.
4.
Both animals and plants provide sources of fat.
Saturated fats come primarily from animal sources
and are typically solid at room temperature. Plant
sources of saturated fats are palm oil, coconut oil,
and cocoa butter. A high intake of saturated fats is
A mineral that is often consumed in inadequate
amounts by Americans is calcium. Calcium is a
mineral important in the mineralization of bone,
muscle contraction, and the transmission of nerve
impulses. Osteoporosis is a disease characterized by

FOLLOW THESE BASIC NUTRITIONAL GUIDELINES
FOR GAINS IN STRENGTH AND LEAN MUSCLE MASS:
Choose your foods carefully. Try getting your
carbohydrates from sources such as rice,
vegetables, beans, whole grains, pasta and fruit.
Good protein sources include fish, chicken, turkey,
lean meat and low-fat or nonfat dairy products.
Minimize your fat intake.
Drink a minimum of 10 eight-ounce glasses of
water each day.
Eat four to six small meals a day, about three
hours apart. Small meals are more easily digested
and result in greater nutrition absorption.
Avoid eating junk food and fast food.
Time your protein intake of 40-55 grams
approximately 75 minutes after your workout.
Immediately following your workout, replenish
your glycogen stores with approximately
50-75 grams of carbohydrates.
For more information on nutrition visit your local
library or book store. There are many excellent books
available.
EXERCISE
PRESCRIPTION
Sets
Sets are defined as a combination of any number of reps of one exercise. The number
of sets used in a workout is directly related to training results. Typically, two to three sets
are used by intermediate and advanced lifters to achieve optimum gains in strength.
Experts agree that multiple-set systems work best for the development of strength and
muscular endurance. Gains will be made at a faster rate by using a multiple-set
system than gains achieved through a single-set system. The use of a single set of an
exercise is recommended and very effective for individuals who are untrained or
just beginning a resistance training program. One-set programs might also be used
for simple maintenance once you are in shape. It is important to note that low-volume
set programs will increase strength in untrained individuals, but more complex
physiological adaptations, such as gains in muscle mass, tone, size, and performance
usually requires higher-volume set training for the best results. Multiple sets of an
exercise present a more intense training stimulus to the muscles during each set.
Once your desired initial fitness level has been achieved, multiple-set performances
of the exercise using the proper resistance (with specific rest periods between sets)
will take you to the next level of strength training, endurance, and muscular development.
Rest Periods Between Workouts
The amount of rest between training sessions depends on the recovery ability of the
individual. Most experts agree that three workouts per week with one day of rest between
sessions allows adequate recovery, especially for the beginner. If the resistance
training is not excessive, only moderate amounts of delayed muscular soreness should
be experienced one day after the session. As the lifter advances and his or her body
is better able to tolerate and recuperate from the resistance exercise sessions, the
frequency of training can be increased. Well-conditioned athletes may be capable of,
and need training frequencies of 4 to 5 days in a row to improve significantly and
achieve their desired goals. When consecutive-training-day sequences are used, it is
usually beneficial to do different exercises for the same muscle groups and use different
resistances for the exercises. When training is performed on consecutive days, it often
involves the use of a split routine (different body parts exercised each day), or a split
program (different exercises for the same body part performed each day). There are
many books available at the library or your local book store for the intermediate and
advanced weight training enthusiast. It is also recommended that you work with a
qualified personal trainer to achieve your ultimate goals.
Resistance Used
The amount of resistance used for a specific exercise is probably the most important
variable in resistance training. When designing a resistance training program, a weight
for each exercise must be chosen. The use of repetition maximums (RM): the exact
resistance that allows only a specific number of repetitions to be performed, is probably
the easiest method for determining a resistance. Typically, one uses a training RM target
or a RM target zone. Example: If your RM zone is 8 to 12 repetitions and you cannot lift
the weight at least 8 times using proper form, the weight is too heavy. On the other
hand, if you can easily lift the weight 12 times, the weight is too light. In either case, the
weight needs to be changed. As the strength level of the lifter changes over time, the
resistance is adjusted so a true RM target or target zone resistance is used.
Order of Exercise
Leaders in the field of strength and conditioning believe that working the larger muscle
groups first (chest, back, legs), should take priority over training the smaller muscle
groups (biceps, triceps, deltoids, calves). The reason behind this exercise order is that
the exercises performed in the beginning of the workout are the ones that are going to
require the greatest amount of muscle mass to perform. Hence, exercising the smaller
muscle groups first will deplete the body of the energy necessary to stimulate the larger
muscle groups. Arm-to-leg ordering allows for some recovery of the arm muscles while
the leg muscles are exercised. “Stacking” exercises is a common practice among
body builders as a way to attempt to bring about muscle hypertrophy. Stacking is
loading up different exercises on the same muscle group (ie. standing bicep curls,
preacher curls, one arm concentration curls). The exercise order will have a significant
impact on the training stimulus stress level in a training session.
Rest Periods Between Sets and Exercises
One frequently overlooked variable in exercise prescription is the length of the rest
period between sets and between different exercises. Your desired fitness goals will
normally determine the amount of time you allow your body to rest. Exercises
involving high repetitions (15 to 20) and a high number of sets (3 to 4) with short rest
periods (30 seconds) between sets will raise metabolic demands. This in turn will burn
excess body fat and increase muscular endurance. Short rest periods are a
characteristic of circuit weight training, and the resistances used are typically lighter.
This type of workout is best for trimming body fat and toning muscle. Exercises with
heavier resistance and fewer sets usually have a longer resting period between sets.
The results of using this method are normally increased muscular strength and mass.
If the desired outcome is to gain overall muscle mass, your exercise prescription
should lean toward a higher weight resistance doing 2 to 6 repetitions per set, with a
rest period of 3 to 4 minutes between each set.
Scheduling Training
Finding the time to do it is one of the most difficult aspects of a training program. Once
you have established a time to workout you should plan a training routine based on
what muscles to involve on which day. As previously discussed, the larger muscle
groups such as the chest, back, and legs should take priority over working the smaller
muscle groups. Give your muscles at least 48 hours (but no more than 72 hours) of
rest in between sessions.
53
SETTING UP YOUR
PERSONAL PROGRAM
It is important to first establish specific
and realistic goals. You should determine
your long term goal and then set a
series of short term goals that will
help you attain your long term goal.
The most common goals are:
Muscular Endruance & Definition
Increase Strength
Once you have determined your personal goals, you will need to set up a schedule
that helps you attain them. Set up a schedule that includes the number of workouts
per week, the type of workout activity, the time of day for each workout, and the actual
workout program. Don’t forget to factor in the warm up and cool down periods. You
may have to modify your current lifestyle to accommodate your new schedule. It’s very
important to include the following basic components to achieve successful results:
If your personal goals
involve losing a
considerable amount
of body fat you will
need to focus more
on aerobic exercise
and weight training
for muscular
endurance and
definition. If your
goals involve a large
increase in muscle
size you will need to
focus on power and
muscle mass weight
training. Depending
on your goals, you
will have different
nutritional
requirements.

DETERMINE YOUR
TRAINING METHOD
There are three basic types of weight
training methods:
1. Training for muscular
endurance and definition
2. Training for strength
3. Training for power and
muscle mass
You should select a training method
that reflects both your present fitness
level and your long term goals. You
should begin carefully and with proper
professional guidance. You can always
move from one training method to
another as you progress.
If you are beginner, you should start
slowly and carefully, gradually increasing
the frequency and intensity of your
training. Always play it safe – be realistic
about your goals and your schedule.
Realistic goals are safer and easier to
follow.
Which is the right training method
for you? First, take a look at your
present physique and determine your
objectives. Do you want a trim, toned,
well-defined body? Are you involved in
a sport where speed, strength and
power are most important? Maybe you
want bulging muscles and a terrific
V-shape torso so you look great on the
beach. Once you make a decision on
what the final results should be, you
can set up your personal program
using the proper training method to
achieve your goals.
Which training method is right for you?
FOR MUSCULAR
ENDURANCE & DEFINITION
FOR STRENGTH
FOR POWER
AND MUSCLE MASS
This training method incorporates
achieving and maintaining a high
cardiovascular (heart) rate and helps
burn away excess fatty tissue. It also
adds muscle definition and muscular
endurance to your entire body.
Exercises are most commonly
performed for 15 to 20 repetitions and
3 to 4 sets using a light to moderate
weight. The rest period between sets
should be about 30 seconds. These
short rest intervals will help maintain an
elevated heart rate and prevent the
muscles from cooling down.
This type of training is the most
popular of the three and is designed
specifically for increasing strength
throughout the muscle and the
muscle-tendon junction. This type of
training is especially important for
athletes. Normally, exercises are
performed using moderate to heavy
weight for 8 to 12 repetitions and 2 to 3
sets. The rest period between sets
should be from 60 to 90 seconds. This
allows a degree of muscle recovery
before you hit them again.
This is the method most often used by
bodybuilders and is recommended
only for the intermediate and
advanced lifter. The weights used are
heavy — this shocks the muscles and
stimulates a more rapid increase in
muscle size. Usually exercises are
performed for 2 to 6 repetitions and
3 to 4 sets using very heavy weight.
The rest period between sets should
be from 3 to 4 minutes. The prolonged
rest periods allow ample time for
recovery between sets.
DESIGNING YOUR PERSONAL ROUTINE
FIRST:
You need to decide which of the above training methods is
best suited to accomplish your personal goals.
SECOND:
Study the exercise poster that came with your Body-Solid
machine and select one or two exercises per body part (body
parts are listed to the left of the exercise pictures). Be sure to
include exercises for all body parts. If you leave out certain
body parts your exercise routine and your body will not be
balanced. If you are trying to increase muscle mass or
increase strength to a muscle group it is alright to add extra
exercises to the area you are particularly concerned about.
THIRD:
Coordinate your body part exercise program and your
personal schedule. If you select one exercise per body part
you can normally do your entire routine in the same workout.
If you choose to do more than 12 exercises you may decide
to divide your workout routine into upper and lower body
exercises. You can split your schedule to work upper body
one day and lower body the next day. Remember to rest each
particular muscle group 48 hours before working it again.
55
FOURTH:
Order the exercises in your routine so you are working the
large muscle groups first and the small muscle groups last.
FIFTH:
Keep a record! Write down the exercises, number of sets,
number of reps and the amount of resistance (weight).

EXERCISETIPS
Listed below are Body-Solid’s picks of the best exercises you can do for each body part. These exercises can be
done using free weights, machines and multi-station gyms. Learn to do each exercise in proper form. You can
make substitutions in your training and try variations of each using different Body-Solid grips, cable attachments and
accessories to slightly change the emphasis of a particular exercise. Note: Many movements, especially multijoint
exercises, work more than one muscle group. For example, your front deltoids and triceps are stimulated during
bench / chest pressing movements.
CHEST
TRAPS
BICEPS / FOREARMS
THIGHS / GLUTES
This powerful muscle group is the
cornerstone of a well-developed upper
body. To most thoroughly work your
pecs, include both pressing and fly
movements and vary the angle of the
bench from decline to flat to incline.
A signature muscle of a strong upper
back, well-developed traps help prevent
neck injury. Shrug movements should
be done with heavy weights in a straight
up-and-down motion.
A two-headed muscle, the biceps’
primary focus is to flex your elbow and
supinate your wrist. The ability to build
your biceps peak is largely genetic,
but exercises that maximally stress the
short head will help.
The main muscles of the thighs are the
quadriceps which are composed of four
muscles. You have several others near
the hip joint, including the body’s largest
muscle group, the gluteals. Multijoint
movements (in which action occurs at
both the hip and knee joints) are your
best choice to work these muscles.

Good exercise choices include those
that work the hamstrings and both the
hip and knee joints.

WEIGHT TRAINING EXERCISE LOG
STRETCHING
& FLEXIBILITY
Flexibility is an important component of physical fitness and needs to be addressed
in a resistance training program. The two main purposes for stretching are injury
prevention and a faster rate of recovery from exercise. Stretching should be
performed in both the warm up and cool down phases of a training session. A good
general guideline is that each workout session should be preceded by 5 to 15 minutes
of general warm up, followed by 8 to 12 minutes of stretching, and concluded with 4 to 5
minutes of post-exercise stretching.
The following
pages show
illustrations with
descriptions of
static stretching
for warm up and
post-exercise
cool down.
Remember...
stretch your
large muscle
groups first and
do all stretches
in a smooth,
slow, controlled
manner.
A regular stretching program will loosen muscle tissue, allowing an increased range
of motion. This helps prevent microtears at the muscle-tendon junction. Almost 90%
of all injuries from muscle strain occur at the muscle-tendon junction. Repeated
injury at this junction can lead to a build-up of scar tissue, which impedes range of
motion and adds stress to the joints.
Begin by stretching the major muscle groups first. Move in and out of your stretches
with smooth, slow, controlled motion. Hold the stretch for at least 10 seconds when
you feel you have reached your muscle’s maximum distance. Do not use fast,
hurried or reckless motions when stretching. Fast and bouncy motions will increase
the risk of injury.
The most common and most popular type of stretching is the static stretching
technique. This form of stretching involves voluntary, complete relaxation of the
muscles while they are elongated. A static stretch is a constant, steady stretch in
which the end position is held for 10 to 30 seconds. This technique is popular
because it is easy to learn, effective, and accompanied by minimal soreness with
the least risk of injury.
Ballistic stretching involves a bouncing or bobbing movement during the stretch.
The final position in the movement is not held. Ballistic stretching is unpopular
because of the increased amount of delayed muscle soreness and the possibility of
injury during the stretching exercise. Ballistic stretching is not recommended.
A dynamic stretch involves flexibility during sport specific movements. Dynamic
stretching is similar to ballistic stretching in that it utilizes movement, but dynamic
stretching includes movements that may be specific to a sport or movement
pattern. Dynamic stretching is most common among track and field athletes, but is
also used in other sports, such as basketball and volleyball. An example of dynamic
stretching would be a track sprinter performing high knees with an emphasis on
knee height and arm action, not on horizontal speed.
