ABSTRACT:
A strength training exercise apparatus includes a frame having a generally upright back rest portion, and a generally horizontal seat portion, and further includes opposing arm members pivotally mounted to the back rest portion of the frame. The arm members are movable through an arcuate range of motion, and include locking pins for selectively locking the arm members in desired angular positions. The apparatus still further includes a resistance assembly consisting of a fixed anchor mounted on the frame, a movable anchor which is movable relative to the fixed anchor, and a plurality of elastomeric resistance cords releasably secured between the movable relative to the fixed anchor to provide resistance to movement of the movable anchor. A pull line is mounted on guide pulleys along the length of the arm members, and is further received in association with the movable anchor whereby outward movement of the pull line with respect to the arm members causes movement of the movable anchor with respect to the fixe anchor. The exercise apparatus further consists of a leg member pivotally mounted to the seat portion, and a second resistance assembly including a second movable anchor coupled to the leg member, and a second plurality of elastomeric resistance cords secured between the fixed anchor and the second movable anchor for providing resistance to pivotal movement of the leg member. The leg member is movable to a storage position beneath the seat portion, and the seat and back rest portions are pivotally foldable to a generally parallel position for storage.
