ABSTRACT:
An exercise apparatus combines a main support and a weight-lifting beam pivotally mounted thereon for movement about a horizontal axis, a weight-lifting bar adapted for releasable disposition of weights thereon and an adjustable support for pivotally supporting the weight-lifting bar on the main support including a member suspending the bar for movement in response to lifting and lowering of the weight-lifting beam member and an adjustable control for varying the distance of placement of the weight-lifting bar from the point of pivotal support. A hydraulic control circuit operates a hydraulic cylinder associated with the weight-lifting beam member to permit the athlete to closely and accurately control the degree of resistance imposed throughout each range of movement of an exercise. The control circuit can be remotely controlled by the athlete to impart either the same or varying amounts of resistance during a lifting and lowering sequence as well as to assist the athlete through a part or all of each sequence.
