Multi Function Exercise Apparatus With Resistance Mechanism

The apparatus of claim four, additionally comprising:

• a vertical screw mechanism attached to said bracket;
• said vertical screw mechanism positioned inside a vertical column;
• said bracket extending around said vertical column;
• a drive mechanism attached to said vertical column;
• said drive mechanism capable of turning said vertical screw mechanism in a clockwise or counterclockwise motion;
• a plurality of linear bearings;
• said linear bearings attached to said vertical column;
• and
• said bracket attached to said linear bearings;
• whereby
• rotation of said vertical screw mechanism by said drive mechanism causes said bracket to move along said vertical column in a vertical direction.

An exercise apparatus, comprising:

• a bar of sufficient size to accommodate use by a human for bodily exercise;
• a plurality of connecting bars of equal length;
• a second bar that is attached to said first bar by said connecting bars and is substantially parallel to said first bar;
• an electric resistance mechanism attached to said second bar;
• and
• said electric resistance mechanism position substantially symmetrically on said second bar in relation to the ends of said second bar.

An exercise apparatus, comprising:

• a first bar of sufficient size to accommodate use by a human for bodily exercise;
• a plurality of connecting bars of equal length, each connecting bar of the plurality connected directly to said first bar;
• a second bar that is attached to said first bar by said plurality of connecting bars and is substantially parallel to said first bar;
• a resistance mechanism, comprising a pneumatically activated disc, attached to said second bar;
• said resistance mechanism positioned substantially symmetrically on said second bar in relation to the ends of said second bar;
• a bracket attached to said resistance mechanism;
• a vertical screw mechanism attached to said bracket;
• said vertical screw mechanism positioned inside a vertical column;
• said bracket extending around said vertical column;
• said bracket attached to a plurality of linear bearings;
• said linear bearings attached to said vertical column;
• and
• said vertical screw mechanism capable of turning in a clockwise or counterclockwise motion.

• a plurality of connecting bars of equal length, each connecting bar of the plurality connected directly to said first bar;
• a second bar that is attached to said first bar by said connecting bars and is substantially parallel to said first bar;
• a resistance mechanism, comprising a pneumatically activated disc, attached to said second bar;
• said resistance mechanism positioned substantially symmetrically on said second bar in relation to the ends of said second bar;
• said resistance mechanism capable of providing at least one hundred pounds of resistance force to the human;
• and
• said apparatus capable of maintaining a maximum sound level of no more than thirty decibels from the apparatus, while the human is performing physical exercise with the apparatus up to the maximum resistance force of the apparatus.
