ABSTRACT:
An exerciser primarily for chest muscles activated by pushing the handle ends of the device toward one another with the forearms, the hands playing an insignificant role in the use of the exerciser. It consists basically of a pair of levers rotatably secured to each other by a pivot pin joining the two levers near one pair of their ends, and elastic bands biasing the device in an open stance attitude, with the levers spread apart. Each elastic band has its pair of ends connected to the pair of levers, one end to the distal portion of a lever and the other end to the proximal or handle portion of the other lever. Forearm activation is provided for by mounting a pair of concave forearm cups near the handle ends of the levers, these cups being mounted adjacent the handle ends on the outside of the levers, with the concavity facing outward in each case. The user grips the exerciser with her forearms (in vertical position) and pushes her forearms together in the manner of closing the jaws of a vise.
