Abstract
This disclosure addresses an exercise device adapted to enable the user to perform a salmon ladder exercise. The ladder includes a frame with at least one pair of support protrusions that receive an exercise bar. A bearing surface that receives the shaft of a catch array rotatably mounted in the frame. The device further includes a braking mechanism that applies a variable suppression force to the catch array shaft, the variable suppression adjusting the force required to rotate the catch array shaft in the bearing surface.

An exercise device comprising:
- a frame comprising at least one pair of support protrusions that receive a displaceable exercise bar and a bearing surface that receives a catch array shaft, the catch array shaft being rotatably received in the bearing surface;
- a pair of catch arrays mounted on the catch array shaft, each of the catch arrays comprising multiple catches adapted to support the exercise bar and deployed in a generally circular conformation such that the catch arrays rotate about a single rotational axis;
- and
- a braking mechanism that applies a suppression force to the catch array shaft;
- such that
- the device is configured to allow a user to perform an exercise in which the exercise bar is moved to successive catches of each of the catch arrays.
