ABSTRACT:
A weight lifting exercise machine has an adjustable seat supporting arm assembly to permit the machine to be used by handicapped users in a wheelchair as well as non-handicapped users. In a first condition, an extendible support arm is secured in a seat-supporting position projecting forwardly from an upright frame member carrying a back rest so as to support a seat pad in an appropriate position relative to the back rest for use by a seated, non-handicapped user. In a second condition, the seat pad is removed from the arm and the arm is retracted rearwardly to provide a space for positioning a wheelchair adjacent the upright member with a user in an equivalent position to a non-handicapped user for access to the exercise equipment.
