An improved exercising apparatus specifically designed to permit, in a single compact unit, barbell type, lifting exercises as well as pull type, muscle toning exercises. Incrementally selectable, vertically movable weights are raised and lowered either by the exertion of vertical straight line forces on a vertically adjustable body engaging means removably connected to a vertically movable carriage which is directly coupled with the weights, or alternatively by the exertion of pull type forces on a second body engaging means coupled with the weights through a system of pulleys which reduces the amount of force required to raise the weights by a predetermined amount.

In an exercising machine of the type having an upright supporting structure, upright guide means associated with said upright supporting structure, a carriage which slides vertically upward and downwardly on said upright guide means, first body-engaging means connected to said carriage for engagement by a trainee, and adjustable resistance means associated with the carriage to bias the carriage and first body-engaging means in a vertically downward direction, the improvement which consists of a pull type body exercising means for performance of various exercises by the trainee comprising: (a) guide means, disposed proximate said upright guide means and extending generally parallel thereto; (b) a vertically adjustable first pulley means including a first pulley carried by said guide means; (c) second pulley means disposed intermediate said vertical tracks and said guide means; (d) third pulley means, including a fourth pulley, carried by said carriage; (e) a cable having a first free end and a second end connected to said supporting structure, said cable being reeved around said first, second and fourth pulleys; (f) second body engaging means connected to said first end of said cable; and (g) securement means for fixedly securing said free end portion of said cable relative to said upright structure when the trainee is engaging said first body-engaging means whereby as said carriage and weights are raised by the trainee exerting force upon said first body engaging means, said cable will be disposed in a closed loop configuration.
