Abstract
A weight resistance exercise apparatus for the external and internal muscles of the shoulder having a multiple plane unit with a rotating axis armature for exercise in intervening planes, a primary armature, a secondary armature connected at a proximate end to the primary armature and a plurality of mode selection disks disposed on the secondary armature.
Claims10
A mechanical exercise apparatus for resistance exercise of exterior shoulder muscles, comprising:
- a primary armature;
- a secondary armature, wherein a proximate end of the secondary armature is connected with the primary armature;
- a handle disposed on the primary armature, parallel to the secondary armature;
- a hub connected to a distal end of the secondary armature connecting the secondary armature rotatably to a frame assembly;
- a weight stack comprising a plurality of selectable weight plates;
- a main cable guided by a plurality of pulleys disposed on the secondary armature and a frame assembly, the main cable terminating at a weight stack;
- a plurality of mode selection disks disposed on the secondary armature;
- and
- a mode selection disk pin for selectably engaging between a first mode of main cable travel requiring constant force to displace the weight stack and a second mode of main cable travel requiring varying force to displace the weight stack,
- wherein angulation of the primary armature causes multiple planes of motion of the primary armature and secondary armature,
- wherein angulation of the primary armature causes the main cable to raise selected engaged weight plates on the weight stack, and
- wherein the primary armature and the secondary armature are connected by a fixed chain and a sprocket connector.
