Abstract:
1. Exercise apparatus comprising: a central pivot; a pair of L-shaped frame members, one of the L-shaped frame members includes a flat portion including a pivot hole and another of the L-shaped frame members includes a bifurcated portion including two aligned pivot holes pivotally attached to one another at the central pivot with a pin extending through the two aligned pivot holes of the bifurcated portion and through the through the pivot hole of the flat portion with the flat portion disposed within the bifurcated portion, wherein each of the L-shaped frame members includes an outward-extending leg extending outward from the central pivot and a forward-extending leg of sufficient length to form a hand grip, extending forward from the central pivot perpendicular to the outward-extending leg; a concave arm engaging member attached to extend forward from each of the outward-extending legs; and spring means applying a force acting between the L-shaped members to oppose pivoting movement of the L-shaped frame members between an extended condition, in which the outward-extending legs extend outward with a first acute angle between the outward-extending legs, and a compressed condition in which the outward-extending legs extend rearward with an angle less than the first acute angle between the outward-extending legs.
