ABSTRACT:
A behind the neck pulldown exercise machine includes a frame, a seat connected to the frame to support an exerciser facing a forward direction and a pair of pivotal levers connected to the frame on opposite sides of the seat. The forward ends of the levers include hubs for holding selected weight resistance while the rearward ends include angled handles located above the seated exerciser's head when the levers are in an at rest position. The handles are adapted to be grasped by the seated exerciser and pulled downwardly in a behind the neck pulldown motion to pivot the levers with respect to the frame through planes which tilt downwardly toward the seat. Pads located in front of the seat engage the tops of the thighs of the seated exerciser to prevent upward movement of the exerciser during pulldown.
