When weight training on a Bowflex PR3000 Home Gym you should involve all your muscle groups during the week so you can avoid muscle imbalances, which can lead to injury. Starting with the chest, you can do the bench press, and for the back you can do lat pull-downs and with the built-in rowing station you can do the seated row. Shoulders, biceps, triceps, and lower body exercises should be incorporated into your workout routine for a full body workout.
Choosing your sets, reps, and weight on the Bowflex PR3000 Home Gym can be determined by your goals. If you want to loose fat and build muscle, use enough weight that you can only complete 10-12 reps and 1-3 sets and rest 1 minute between sets and at least 1 day between workout sessions. If you are looking for just muscle gain, use enough weight that you can only complete 4-8 reps and 3 or more sets, resting 2 minutes between sets and 2-3 days between sessions.
