Abstract:
An exercise device for combining a vertical, gravitational exercise force vector with a second exercise force vector to provide a resultant, non-vertical exercise force vector, the device comprising:an elongate member having a hand grip between first and second ends; first and second end assemblies secured to respective first and second ends of said elongate member; each end assembly comprising a weight member and an anchor; each said anchor fastened to an end of at least one flexible member; said at least one flexible member having a connection for selectively connecting to a means for providing the second exercise force vector; each said weight member having an opening permitting a portion of said at least one flexible member to pass therethrough while said weight member is secured to said ends of said elongate member, whereby a user exercises against the resistance provided by the gravitational force of the weight members in combination with a resistance provided by the second exercise force vector.
