Patent ID: 7927261

Claim:
An boxer-fly exercise apparatus comprising: a vertical member positioned so as to be generally located along the midsagittal plane of a user's body; a hand grip supported by said vertical member, said hand grip comprising a pair of stationary gripping portions, each of said griping portions adapted for being gripped by one hand of the user and positioned so as to be generally located above the transverse plane of the user's body and proximate the midsagittal plane of the user's body; a first resistance member comprising: a contact member having a proximate end and a distal end, said proximate end is pivotally supported by said vertical member at a pivot point, said distal end of said contact member extending to a position that engages the user proximate the user's elbow when the user's forearms are placed in an outward position that is substantially parallel to the ground, said contact member adapted for rotation about said pivot point such that the user's forearms are rotated into a substantially parallel position to the user's midsagittal plane; and a load member located proximate to said pivot point, said load member opposing rotation of said contact member about said pivot point toward said vertical column and biasing said first resistance member towards a resting position.
