Magnum weight machines, such as the functional trainer and the freestanding cross-over machine, provide resistance training movements, rehab movements and also sports-specific movements. The machines utilize a cable pulley system and include weight stacks for resistance. In addition to the handgrips, you can attach several other pieces of training accessories to the cable pulleys, such as the bar attachment.

Raise the cable pulleys to the upper position. Attach the handgrips to the cable pulleys and set the total amount of resistance by inserting the pin into the weight stack.
Step 2
Grasp the handgrips using an overhand grip with your arms extended. Keep a slight bend in your elbows. Stand under the middle part of the machine.
Step 3
Lean your torso slightly forward and keep your back straight. Bring the handgrips downward toward the middle of your waist.
Step 4
Bring the handgrips upward until the handgrips are around shoulder height.
