Abstract:
1. A method for exercising an individual in both a tensile and a compression mode, said method comprising the steps of: providing a first rigid frame assembly, providing a second selectively rotatable frame assembly and coupling said second selectively rotatable frame to said first rigid frame assembly, providing a seat portion and coupling said seat portion to said second selectively rotatable frame assembly, providing a pair of independent and selectively rotatable handle portions, and providing a pair of high-tension cables and coupling said pair of high-tension cables to a respective one of said pair of selectively rotatable handle portions, causing a movement of a first handle of said pair of handles to rotate said seat portion in a first direction, and causing a movement of a second handle of said pair of handles to rotate causes said seat portion to rotate in a second direction, providing a first arm frame and disposing a first of said pair of handle portions within said first arm frame, providing a second arm frame and disposing a second of said pair of handle portions within said second arm frame, providing a first and second selectively adjustable elbow sling, disposing said first selectively adjustable elbow sling within said first arm frame, disposing said second selectively adjustable elbow sling within said second arm frame, allowing said individual to place a first elbow within said first elbow sling and grasp said first handle with a first hand, allowing said individual to place a second elbow within sling and grasp said second handle with a second hand, providing an axle portion having a first side and a second side and coupling said axle portion to said first rigid frame assembly, providing a first shock absorption joint having a first aperture formed there through and causing said first side of said axle portion to receive said first shock absorption joint through said first aperture, providing a second shock absorption joint having a second aperture formed there through and causing said second side of said axle portion to receive said second shock absorption joint through said second aperture, providing a first extension arm having a first end and a second end, coupling said first end of said first extension arm to said first arm frame and coupling said second end of said extension arm to said first shock absorption joint, providing a second extension arm having a first end and a second end coupling said first end of said second extension arm to said second arm frame and coupling said second end of said second extension arm to said second shock absorption joint, providing a third extension arm having a first end, a second end, and a plurality of through apertures, coupling said first end of said third extension arm to said first shock absorption joint, providing a fourth extension arm having a first end and a second end, coupling said first end of said fourth extension arm to said second shock absorption joint, and coupling each of a pair of high tension cables to a respective one of said third and fourth extension arms through one of said plurality of apertures of said third and fourth extension arms.
