Muscle building tips for your Marcy weight system

• Consult with your physician before beginning any muscle building exercise routine on the weight system.
• Start by stretching muscles and exercising lightly before lifting heavy weights to avoid injury. A warm-up routine increases your body temperature, heart rate and circulation in preparation for muscle building.
• Lift weights that work your muscles near their maximum capacity and progressively increase the workout intensity by adding weight or changing the number of repetitions or sets performed. You'll typically begin with 3 sets of 8 repetitions for each lifting routine with 3 minute rest periods between sets.
• Increase weight when you can complete 3 sets of 12 repetitions for a lifting routine.

Replacing a cable on your Marcy weight system

• Wear work gloves to protect your hands when replacing the cable.
• Remove the key from the weight stack
• Create slack in the cable by adjusting the tension bolt.
• Remove the bolt that connects the cable to the lifting component.
• Release the cable from the weight stack.
• Release the pulley or pulleys that the cable goes through and remove the cable from the weight system.
• Route the new cable through the pulley(s) and reassemble the weight system. Tighten all fasteners securely. Remove slack from the new cable so it lifts the weight stack properly.
