ABSTRACT:
This invention pertains to a throwing arm exercising machine that not only strengthens the throwing arm of the user, but also instructs the user as to the proper form for throwing. It encompasses a frame having an overhead track upon which a handle slides. A counterweight is secured to this handle so as to resist the movement of this handle along the track. A user positions himself underneath the track and grasps the handle and, by moving the handle along the track against the bias of the counterweight, exercises his throwing arm. Additionally, this throwing arm is strengthened while the proper form for throwing is practiced due to the track conforming to such form. For user stability and to isolate the throwing muscles, a hand grip for the non-throwing hand is provided for the user to grasp during this exercise.
