Abstract
A weight exercising machine especially adapted for variations in height, stature, and strength of persons using the machine. The apparatus consists of a frame containing a base and upright members to which a horizontal bar secures the upright members at the top, and a T-shape member slidingly attached to the upright members and telescopingly fitted over a center post which is secure to the base. Extending outward from the post and from the T-shaped member are horizontal rods which are in axial alignment with one another and onto which weights may be placed. When the horizontal rods are spaced a distance apart from each other which is less than the width of a weight members, the weight members may be so moved from one rod to the other. The apparatus may also include gripping devices for use in pulling the weights which consist of U-shaped members forming an upper bar for taller persons, and a lower bar for use by persons of similar stature.
