Abstract
Systems and devices for a master trainer for a master trainer having independent press arms with rotating pulley systems each with attached carriages that allows for the press arms and pulley systems and carriages to be adjustable to different heights in order to perform various exercises. Additionally, the master trainer is configured to be used with or without a bench with an adjustable back and seat and is configured to allow for varying exercises to be performed based on the height of the carriage system and adjustment of the bench.
Claims21
A weight press and cable exercise system, comprising:
- a left frame and a right frame being parallel to each other and each having a front side, a rear side, a top side, and a bottom side;
- a left vertical member and a right vertical member being parallel to each other and respectively attached to the left and right frames within the front side of each frame, respectively, each of the left and right vertical members having an upper end and a lower end;
- a left horizontal member and a right horizontal member being parallel to each other and adjacent to a ground surface, each of the left and right horizontal members having a front end and a rear end, the rear ends of left and right horizontal members being respectively attached to the left and right frames within the front side of each frame and respectively at the lower ends of the left and right vertical members;
- a top rear perpendicular member attached to and between the left and right frames within the rear side of each frame and near the top side of each frame;
- a bottom rear perpendicular member attached to and between the left and right frames within the rear side of each frame and near the bottom side of each frame;
- a top front perpendicular member having handles and being attached to and between the left and right frames within the front side of each frame and near the top side of each frame;
- a left movable carriage assembly and a right movable carriage assembly for respectively sliding up and down on the left and right vertical members;
- a left pivotal arm and a right pivotal arm being spaced apart from each other, each of the left and right pivotal arms having an outer end and an inner end, the inner ends of the left and right pivotal arms being respectively pivotally attached to the left and right movable carriage assemblies;
- a left foot rotating pulley assembly and a right foot rotating pulley assembly respectively coupled to the front ends of the left and right horizontal members;
- a left arm rotating pulley assembly and a right arm rotating pulley assembly respectively coupled to the outer ends of the left and right pivotal arms;
- a left grip and a right grip respectively adjacent to the outer ends of the left and right pivotal arms;
- a left weight stack and a right weight stack respectively contained within the left and right frames;
- a left weight stack cable and a left series of weight stack pulleys respectively attaching the left weight stack to the left pivotal arm, and a right weight stack cable and a right series of weight stack pulleys respectively attaching the right weight stack to the right pivotal arm, wherein different amounts of resistance are allowed to be placed on the left and right weight stacks;
- a left arm cable handle and a right arm cable handle respectively attached to the left and right weight stack cables at the left and right arm rotating pulley assemblies, wherein the left and right arm cable handles are adapted to be respectively pushed, pulled, and/or pressed away from the left and right arm rotating pulley assemblies by a user;
- a left counter weight and a right counter weight respectively contained within the left and right frames;
- left counter weight cables and a left series of counter weight pulleys respectively attached to the left movable carriage assembly to neutralize a weight of the left movable carriage assembly, and right counter weight cables and a right series of counter weight pulleys respectively attached to the right movable carriage assembly to neutralize a weight of the right movable carriage assembly;
- and
- a left adjustable mount and a right adjustable mount for respectively prepositioning the left and right movable carriage assemblies at selected fixed height levels between the lower end and the upper end of the left and right vertical members, respectively;
- wherein the left and right grips are adapted to be gripped by the user positioned between the left and right pivotal arms in order to respectively push up and lower down the left and right pivotal arms to perform exercises at different ranges based on an initial fixed position of the left and right movable carriage assemblies.
