ABSTRACT:
A compact multiple use exercise device removably secured in doorway, comprising a telescopically adjustable chinning bar which locks at any longitudinal increment allowing it to be adjusted to fit different doorway widths. The bar is supported at each end in the doorway by hangers which have open tops to allow the bar to be easily removed and stored when not in use. Weight resistance is provided by standard weight plates which are placed on the carrier which is coupled to a cable which runs through a first pulley attached to the chinning bar, and optionally through a second pulley, and attaches to a handle, lat bar, or leg strap depending on which exercise is desired. With the cable running through the first pulley, an upward and lateral resistance is created which may be used for exercises which simulate golf, baseball, swimming and throwing; as well as several standard weight training exercises. The second pulley may be positioned to change the direction of resistance on the cable to an upward, downward or lateral direction. Rowing exercises are also possible when the second pulley is attached to a telescoping lat bar which may be held low to the floor at each side of the door frame.
