ABSTRACT:
An exercise device used to develop a user's torso and upper body muscles. The device has a tubular support frame with two upper side members connected by a lateral support and two space curved side supports. An adjustable pull down handle is centered on the frame's lateral support. Four resistance pneumatic cylinder with pistons, two on each side, connect the upper side members to a lower support structure. The curved supports extend downwardly from each of the upper side supports and have a head rest strap connector between them. A head rest with a back support extends from it is connected to a lateral strap member to a lateral strap in the lower support. A user lies down and grasps and pulls the overhead handle. By pulling down towards their chest on the handle against the resistance cylinder and their pistons, the user exercises torso and upper body muscles. The handle may be adjusted to such that its free end portion points horizontally either to the center, right side or left side of the spaced upper members.
