ABSTRACT:
A novel device to be used in performing chest exercises is disclosed. It comprises two interconnected levers to which standard weight plates may be attached. A torsional spring provides resistance to the bringing together of the free ends of the levers. To use the device, a person, after affixing suitable weight plates to the device, lies on his back and grips the levers near their free ends. He then pushes the device upwardly in a bench-press type motion, and forces his hands together against the resistance of the spring. The novel U-shaped frame is of use in other standard exercises such as squatting movement, calf raises, bent over bows, and shrugs.
