Abstract
A cable exercise machine has the capability for allowing a user to perform various exercises by the lifting and lowering of weights by means of a cable. The cable is tethered at opposite ends on the frame of the machine and it passes through a sheave assembly and a sheave block assembly. The user pulls on the sheave block assembly to lift the weights. The sheave assembly is adjustably positionable on the frame of the machine to different positions and is operatively related with the cable and the sheave block assembly such that the sheave block assembly hangs free from the sheave assembly substantially the same amount for all adjustment positions of the sheave block assembly on the frame so that the user can remain in the same position relative to the machine for all adjustment positions of the sheave assembly. Additional exercise stations are provided, a seat and bench station, and a leg exercise station. These have adjustment capabilities and may be used in conjunction with the cable-operated weights.
