Abstract
A weightlifting exercise apparatus is provided having a first and second beam member, the second beam member being selectively positionable in a longitudinal sense relative to said first beam member to provide a substantially continuous range of selectable exercise loads, ranging from a relatively large load to a very small load, as second beam member in some positions will act as a counterbalance to a primary load provided by the first beam member, and in other positions will supplement the exercise load provided by the first beam member; the apparatus further having a releaseable lock whereby the second beam member can be retained in a selected position.
