The follower structure includes weight bar supporting structure for supporting a weighted bar therefrom and a foot engageable support is mounted from the foot end of the bench support for guided movement generally longitudinally of the bench support. Motion transmitting structure operatively connects the foot engageable support and the follower structure for raising and lowering the latter responsive to movement of the foot engageable support away from and toward the head end of the bench. Further, releasable ratchet-type latch structure is operatively associated with the follower structure for releasably latching the follower structure against downward movement relative to the guide structure. The foot engageable support includes latch operator structure shiftably supported therefrom for selectively actuating and releasing the latch structure.
