ABSTRACT:
An exercise device which may be attached to the side of a pool of water which enables an individual to do chin up type exercises while suspended in water by pulling down on a grasping bar which is attached to a lever arm by cables which are adjustable. The amount of pressure needed to pull down the grasping bar is regulated by varying the amount of weight placed on a bar attached to the resistance end of the lever arm. As the grasping bar is pulled upon, the lever arm rotates on an axle bar which is supported by two uprights. Running through the uprights below the axle bar is a safety bar which prevents the lever arm from making a full rotation on the axle bar and striking the user. The uprights which support the axle bar and safety bar are connected to horizontal bases which extend away from the pool. The vertical uprights and horizontal bases are connected together by corner plates and braces. The device is held in place by fasteners placed through the bases into the pool deck. Extending below the uprights into the water is a roller bar system which is composed of two rolling pipes which are positioned in front of the exerciser to keep his body in a comfortable alignment as he rises and falls in the water while pulling on the grasping bar. The roller bars are positioned through a system of guide pipes and modified pipe tees which serve as adjustable connectors.
