Abstract
A multi-pull exercise device comprising a stationary frame, an extensible resistance element carried by the frame, at least two flexible pull lines attached to respective ends of the resistance element; and pulleys guiding the free ends of the pull lines to desired locations of use on the exercise device. To achieve a simple and versatile exercise device, each end of the resistance element is movable axially with respect to the other and with respect to the frame. The resistance mechanism is self-restoring, and can be in the form of a hydraulic or pneumatic cylinder and/or spring.
