• Dip Handle

Dips strengthen the triceps muscles at the back of the upper arms as well as the deltoid muscles of the shoulders and the upper pectoralis muscles of the chest.

Stand or kneel on the platform and grasp the handle of the machine on the functional rig with your straight elbow. Please start it by your self. Lower your body without assistance and arch your back and see where you can reach. If you can bend your arm ninety degrees and push yourself back to the previous straight arm position. Please pay attention to your baseline, in case that you’ll get injured.

Move the pin to the weight plate you need, then try again. You’re supposed to lower your body smoothly and go back to the starting position with moderate effort if you choose the proper weight.

• Pull up Bar

The pull-up is a common basic exercise, but it doesn't have to be easy.

Hang from a pull-up bar with your arms fully extended. The bar should be high enough so that your feet won’t touch the ground. Take a deep breath, then exhale as you pull yourself up. Pull your chin above the bar. Inhale as you lower yourself back to the starting position.

• Battle Rope

The battle rope training is a combination of aerobic and anaerobic training, which can greatly increase the heart rate in a short period of time. Battle rope training is also more friendly to people who are overweight and it will not put a lot of stress on the joints like running. Just add a rope anchor on the functional rig, then you can do it. Remember to tighten the entire core, control the center of gravity of the body, and pay attention to the rhythm of breathing.

• Bench Press

Lie on the bench, your eyes should be roughly aligned with the front of the barbell rack uprights. Your hips, shoulders, and head are flat on the bench, and your spine is neutral.Pull your shoulder blades back and behind you and hold the bar in your forehand, placing your thumb on the outside of your clenched fist. Your upper arms are about 45 degrees from your body.Remove the bar from the rack and hold your elbows in place. Remember not to move the bar directly from the functional rig to your chest.

Inhale as you lower the bar to your chest.Extend your arms as you exhale and press the barbell to your chest. Look at the ceiling instead of the bar.Lower the bar so it is over your chest. This is the starting position for the next bench press.
