Claim:
1. A training machine for strength training and rehabilitation comprising: a frame; pull or press means mounted to the frame and being constructed and arranged to be moved in a first positive direction and a second opposing negative direction by a user; a tiltable arm connected to the pull or press means and being rotatably mounted to the frame by a rotatable mount, wherein when the pull or press means is moved between the first and second directions the tiltable arm is rotated between a first arm position having a first angle from a horizontal plane and a second arm position having a second angle from the horizontal plane; a pulse generator in communication with the pull or press means, the pulse generator constructed to register a first change or shift in direction from the first positive direction to the second opposing negative direction and register a second change or shift in direction from the second opposing negative direction to the first positive direction; the tiltable arm comprising a weight body being movably mounted on or within the tiltable arm so that the weight body can be moved along a length of the tiltable arm from a first weight body position a first distance from the rotatable mount and a second weight body position a second distance from the rotatable mount, the second distance being greater than the first distance; and the tiltable arm comprising driving means constructed to move the weight body along the length of the tiltable arm, wherein the driving means automatically moves the weight body to the second weight body position when the pulse generator registers the first change or shift and automatically moves the weight body to the first weight body position when the pulse generator registers the second change or shift so that a first load on the pull or press means during movement of the pull or press means in the first positive direction is less than a second load on the pull or press means during movement of the pull or press means in the second negative direction by the user.
