Patent ID: 7625321

Claim:
An exercise apparatus, comprising: a resistance assembly; a cable configured to move against resistance provided by the resistance assembly; wherein a right extension arm includes a proximal end pivotally coupled to the resistance assembly, and a free distal end, the right extension arm having a first axis of rotation, the exercise apparatus farther including a right first and a right second pulley mounted adjacent the proximal end of the right extension arm, wherein the right first pulley is mounted at a fixed distance above the right second pulley such that an axis of rotation of the right first pulley is offset distally with respect to the axis of rotation of the right second pulley; and wherein a left extension arm includes a proximal end pivotally coupled to the resistance assembly, and a free distal end, the left extension arm having a second axis of rotation, the exercise apparatus farther including a left first and a left second pulley mounted adjacent the proximal end of the left extension arm, wherein the left first pulley is mounted at a fixed distance above the left second pulley such that an axis of rotation of the left first pulley is offset distally with respect to the axis of rotation of the left second pulley.
