FUNCTION AND LOADING CAPACITY INSTRUCTION
Our Phase 4 Cable Multifunctional Squat Rack is the perfect focal point of any home or commercial gym setting. Made from 75x75mm 3mm steel, Its 4 pulley design, small form factor and incredible versatility make it the ideal choice if you want to gain a full gym experience at home. Not only is it a fully functioning squat rack complete with J hooks and Spotter arms, but it also bridges the gap of functional fitness by featuring a 4-cable pulley system and 2 x 100kg weight stacks. Two of the cables are fully adjustable and allow for functional trainer-like movements, these operate on a 2:1 ratio giving you more cable travel and smaller incremental weight jumps for more isolated exercise work. Then the two top pulleys are specifically placed higher up and operate on a 1:1 ratio meaning you feel the full 100kg weight when performing high pulley exercises like lat pulldowns. The rack also comes with a lat pulldown seat as well as a low row foot plate attachment, 6 plate poles, branded storage hooks, claw barbell storage and a back storage beam.
If you’re looking for a rack to perform traditional power movements like bench pressing and squatting, but also add functional trainer qualities, with the ability to utilise both 2:1 and 1:1 ratios in a smaller form factor then this rack is for you!

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
EXERCISE INFORMATION
- Tailor your exercise program according to your physical condition. If you have been inactive for several years, or are overweight, you must start slowly and gradually increase your time on the equipment; a few minutes per workout increase is advisable.
- Initially, you may be able to exercise for only a few minutes in your target zone; however, your aerobic fitness will improve over the next six to eight weeks. Do not be discouraged if it takes longer. It is important to work at your own pace.
Please remember these essentials:
- Have your doctor review your training and diet programme to advise you of a workout routine you should adopt.
- Begin your training programme slowly with realistic goals.
- Monitor your pulse frequently. Establish your target heart rate based on your age and condition.
- Set up your equipment on a flat even surface with an adequate training area, as prescribed in this manual.
Exercise intensity
To maximise the benefits of exercising, it is important to exercise with
proper intensity. The proper intensity level can be found by using your heart
rate as a guide. For effective aerobic exercise, your heart rate should be
maintained at a level between 65% and 85% of your maximum heart rate as you
exercise. This is known as your target zone. You can find your target zone in
the table below.
Age
During the first few months of your exercise programme, keep your heart rate
near the low end of your target zone as you exercise. After a few months, your
heart rate can be increased gradually until it is near the middle of your
target zone as you exercise.
To measure your heart rate, stop exercising but continue moving your legs or walking around and place two fingers on your wrist. Take a six-second heartbeat count and multiply the results by 10 to find your heart rate. For example, if your six-second heartbeat count is 14, your heart rate is 140 beats per minute. (A six-second count is used because your heart rate will drop rapidly when you stop exercising.) Adjust the intensity of your exercise until your heart rate is at the required level.
-
Aerobic Exercise
Aerobic exercise improves the fitness of your lungs and heart – your body’s most important muscle. Aerobic exercise fitness is promoted by any activity that uses your large muscles (arms, legs or buttocks, for example). -
Weight Training
Along with aerobic exercising, which helps get rid of and keep off the excess fat that our bodies can store, weight training is an essential part of the routine process. Weight training helps tone, build and strengthen muscle. If you are working above your target zone, you may want to do a lesser amount of reps. -
Targeted Muscle Groups
The exercise routine that is performed on the training bench will develop the core muscle groups. These muscle groups are highlighted on the muscle chart below.
Each workout should include the following three parts:
- A warm-up, consisting of 5 to 10 minutes of stretching and light exercise. A proper warm-up increases your body temperature, heart rate and circulation in preparation for exercise.
- A training zone exercise consisting of 20 to 30 minutes of exercising with your heart rate in your training zone. (Note: During the first few weeks of your exercise programme, do not keep your heart rate in your training zone for longer than 20 minutes.)
- A cool down, with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching. This will increase the flexibility of your muscles and will help to prevent post-exercise problems.
Exercise Frequency
To maintain or improve your condition, plan three workouts each week with at
least one day of rest between workouts. After a few months of regular
exercise, you may complete up to five workouts each week, if desired.
Remember, the key to success is to make exercise a regular and enjoyable part
of your everyday life.

heel of the foot up towards the opposite extended hand, rotating through the
torso and lifting the chest. Ensure the arm/shoulder of the extended arm you
are aiming for the heel to touch stays pushed down into the ground to stretch
through the chest and front of the shoulder. Repeat on the other side. Repeat
for 10-12 repetitions on each side.
Iron Crosses

flat on fl o or. Repeat for 12-15 repetitions on each side.
Band Pull Aparts
Using a light resistance band, hold the band with hands just wider than
shoulder-width apart and at shoulder height. Keeping arms straight, pull arms
apart from each other to stretch the band across the front of the chest and
pinch shoulder blades together. With control, and arms remaining straight,
return to the start position. Repeat for 12-15 repetitions. To make it harder,
hold the band closer together. To make it easier, hold the band further apart.
