ABSTRACT:
An athletic exerciser comprising a fixed support post having a support pipe telescoped in and rotatable in the support post and supporting a pair of exercise swing arms from its upper end. The swing arms have downwardly depending arm portions connected at their ends by handlebars. A bench is supported at its rear end with respect to the support post by means of a vertical pivot rod extending into a corresponding tube portion carried by the post so that the bench can be swung sidewardly or can be removed completely from the post by lifting the pivot rod out of the tube portion. The pipe carrying the swing arms on its upper ends has a portion extending sidewardly so that this portion can either extend forwardly of the exerciser toward the distal end of the bench or oppositely so that the pivot for the arms moves from over the forward end of the bench to a place spaced substantially rearwardly of the user whereby one of the handlebars moves essentially horizontally and the other of the handlebars moves essentially vertically when the pipe is swung to bring one or the other of the handlebars over the bench. A cushion is fixed on the support post at the rear end of the bench when in place for supporting the user when he straddles the bench facing forwardly. A hydraulic piston cylinder assembly carried at the upper end of the pipe restrains the swinging movement of the exercise arms.
