Hand Grips and Straps

 The hand grips fit snugly around your wrist, ankle, 

or instep. Attach grips to cables by snapping the 

cable clip onto the D-ring.

Standard Grip:  

Grasp the 

handle and cuff together to 

form a grip without inserting 

your hand through the cuff 

portion. Most exercises utilize 

this grip. The Standard Grip also is used for 

Hammer Grip exercises, when you need to hold 

the hand grip vertically for greater wrist support.

Hand Cuff Grip:

  Slip your hand 

through the cuff so that the foam 

pad rests on the back of your 

hand. Then grasp the remainder 

of the grip that is sitting in 

your palm. This method of gripping is great for 

exercises like front shoulder raises or any exercise 

where your palm is facing down.

Ankle Cuff Grip:

  The cuff 

opening can be made larger to 

accommodate the ankle. Simply 

insert your hand in the cuff and 

slide it away from the handle. 

Insert your foot or ankle and tighten the grip by 

sliding the handle back toward the cuff.

Arch Cuff Grip:

  The cuff 

opening can also fit securely over 

the arch of your foot. For this 

grip, insert your foot through the 

cuff until it is around the arch of 

your instep, and tighten the cuff 

around your heel to secure the grip.

Abdominal Crunch Shoulder 

Harness:

  Attach the snap hooks 

to the D-rings on both ends of 

the harness.  Place the harness 

on your shoulders letting the 

handles hang over your chest. 

Grab both handles.  With high 

resistance, a cross arm opposite-handle grip may be 

used.

Lat Pulldown Bar

 The Lat Pulldown Bar enhances exercises  

that work back, shoulders and triceps muscles. 

Leg Extension Attachment

The leg extension attachment enables you to work 

the major muscle groups in the legs.

Abdominal Crunch Shoulder Harness

The ab harness gives you the ability to strengthen 

the muscles of the abdomen by safely adding 

resistance to abdominal exercises.  When using the 

ab harness, relocate the pulleys from the chest bar 

to the short abdominal bar.

Safety:

•     Before using the grips, straps, lat bar, or ab 

harness, make sure that all fasteners are in 

place and tightened.

•     Make sure that auxiliary cables for the lat bar 

and leg extension are securely fastened to the 

primary cables on the unit.

•     Always use the lock knob on the slider to secure 

pulleys.  Do not allow pulleys to change position 

during any exercise.

•     Always use the bar holders to support the lat bar 

or remove the bar when not in use.

•      Do not hang from the Lat 

Tower nor attempt to perform 

“chin ups” from the bar.

•      Never pull on the bar unless there  

is resistance attached to it.

•     Always use the Lock Knob  

to secure the attachment to  

your Bowflex Xtreme
