ABSTRACT:
An exercising machine including a vertically disposed framework defined by a pair of parallel, vertical, channel-shaped side members interconnected at their top by a top connecting member and having stabilizing supporting feet extending horizontally at their lower ends. The side members support independent slides in the form of inner channels having an inwardly extending arm and an upwardly extending peg thereon for receiving a desired number of barbell weights with a cable and pulley system being associated with the slides to enable independent vertical movement of the slides by pulling downwardly on independent handles or pulling upwardly on independent handles depending upon the manner in which the cable and pulley systems are associated. A locking bar is provided to selectively interconnect the arms on the two slides together with a central pulley system and cable system enabling the two slides and the weights thereon to be lifted by a single cable. The side members include apertures receiving pins to support a barbell assembly or to support the slides in a predetermined elevated rest position and to support one end of a sit-up board. An extension is provided at the top of the framework having a central pulley thereon receiving the cable attached to the locking bar and also providing a support for a heavy punching bag with both the extension and the locking bar including a feature to enable attachment of a handlebar to facilitate various optional uses of the exercising machine. The stabilizing feet at the lower end of the framework are interconnected by a connecting bar having pulleys mounted thereon and also a mounting structure for a T-bar on which weights may be placed to facilitate additional optional uses of the exercising machine.
