Claim:
1. A gravity-assisted, selectively adjustable exercise apparatus, comprising: a lever arm having a proximal end and a distal end; a pivot point positioned between said proximal end and said distal end, said lever arm rotates a predetermined angle about said pivot point, wherein the elevation of said distal end is selectively altered; a resistance weight operably interconnected to said lever arm, wherein said resistance weight is movable between a first position and a second position along said lever arm when said resistant weight is in an unlocked state, and said resistance weight is immovable between said first position and said second position in a locked state, and wherein said resistance weight is movable away from said pivot point and toward said pivot point based on said predetermined angle and gravitational pull; and a trip mechanism operably interconnected to said resistance weight, wherein upon receiving an input from a user during an exercise, said trip mechanism causes said resistance weight to move between said first position and said second position to change the distance between said resistance weight and said pivot point.
