Abstract
A counter-action device for an exercise device comprising a stack of weight slabs preferably of equal weight and size, a desired part of the stack of weight slabs being adapted to serve as counter-weight for a physical exercise. On either side of the stack of weight slabs are supplementary weights which can be removably attached to the counter-action device by a locking mechanism.
