Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9626765A1] A user support (11) and a primary hinge (30) are mounted to a frame (10). A secondary hinge (32, 34) is mounted to the primary hinge (30). An arm (60) mounted to the secondary hinge (32, 34) has a handle (61) adapted to be grasped by the user. The two hinges permit the user to displace the handle (61) in either or both the longitudinal and lateral directions. A means for resisting the displacement of the handle (61), preferably in both the lateral and longitudinal directions, is provided. The resistance means may include a post (62) attached to the arm (60) for mounting weight plates. The arms (60) may be connected such that both handles (61) move the same longitudinal and/or lateral distance. To use the exercise machine, a user selects a weight for exercise, sits on the user support, grasps the handle and pushes upward from his shoulders, moving the handle longitudinally and laterally as he so chooses, overcoming the resistance.
