Abstract

An exercise device comprising: a primary support strut, two lever arms, at least two resistance members; the primary support strut being an elongate member with two ends, both distal ends of the primary support strut being affixed with the lever arms, the resistance members being attached to the two lever arms and the primary support strut.

Claims

1. An exercise device comprising:

a primary support strut, two lever arms, at least two resistance members;

the primary support strut being an elongate member with two ends, both ends of the primary support strut being affixed with the lever arms, the resistance members affixed to the lever arms and the primary support strut.

2. The exercise device of claim 1 further comprising two handles, the handles being affixed with a distal end of each lever arm.

3. The exercise device of claim 1 further comprising two pins, the axis pins conjoining the lever arms with the primary support strut through their orifices on both the primary support strut and the lever arm.

4. The exercise device of claim 1 wherein the resistance member is made of elastomeric tubing.

5. The exercise device of claim 1 wherein the resistance member is made of springs.

6. The exercise device of claim 1 wherein the resistance member is made of rubber.

7. The exercise device of claim 1 wherein the handle is a horseshoe grip.

8. The exercise device of claim 1 wherein the handle is a right angle grip.

9. The exercise device of claim 1 wherein the handle is a T-bar grip.

10. The exercise device of claim 1 wherein the handle is a toe grip.

11. The exercise device of claim 1 wherein the lever arms are telescopic.

12. The exercise device of claim 1 wherein the handle is affixed with the lever arm through use of detents, the lever arm and the handle being affixed with mating detent pieces.

13. The exercise device of claim 1 wherein the handle is affixed with the lever arm with corresponding threading upon the outside surface of the lever arm and the corresponding inside surface of the mating orifice of the handle.

14. The exercise device of claim 1 wherein the handle is affixed with the lever arm with corresponding threading upon the inside surface of the lever arm and the corresponding outside surface of the mating orifice of the handle.

15. The exercise device of claim one wherein the lever arms are made of a metal.

16. The exercise device of claim one wherein the primary support strut is made of a metal.

17. The exercise device of claim one further comprising anchor bars which are affixed to the primary support strut;

said anchor bars providing a means of attachment for the resistance members.

18. The exercise device of claim one further comprising lever arm attachments, said lever arm attachments affixed to ends of lever arms;

the lever arm attachments providing a means of attachment with the resistance members.

19. The exercise device of claim one wherein the lever arms and the primary support strut is made of plastic or carbon fiber.

20. An exercise device comprising a primary strut, two levers, at least two members, and at least one axis pin;

the primary support strut being affixed with at least two members substantially towards the center of the primary support strut, the lever arms being affixed with the resistance members on the distal ends opposite the distal ends which are affixed with the primary support strut, and an axis pin which connects both the lever arm with the primary support strut so as to allow the lever arm to rotate free about an axis.
