ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for exercising the rear deltoid muscle is disclosed. The apparatus comprises a seat and a chest pad that are adjustably mounted to a frame to form a user support. Two arms are independently pivotally mounted at a first end by hinges to the frame. A handle is mounted to each arm whereby an exerciser grips the handle to use the apparatus. A means for resisting the movement of the handle is provided which is adapted to affect the force required to move the handles. According to the method, a seated exerciser grasps at least one handle and moves it outwardly and pulls it towards himself so that the handle moves in a substantially arcuate path towards the exerciser's shoulders.
