ABSTRACT:
A weight training machine having a dynamically controlled resistance capability. The user exercises by causing an exercise arm to pivot. Pivoting coaxially with the exercise arm, is a pivot arm which supports a secondary weight. To pivot the exercise arm, the user must overcome a primary resistance and the torque on the pivot arm due to the secondary weight. The torque due to the secondary weight can be dynamically varied by varying the position of the secondary weight on the pivot arm. Thus the resistance experienced by the user, can be varied within a predetermined range. A force input mechanism engageable with a body part of the user is also disclosed which reduces discomfort to the user during exercise.
