A weight lifting body exercising apparatus which includes an upstanding frame having a single upstanding pole-like member for supporting a vertically shiftable carriage. The carriage is adapted to receive weights as, for example, bar-bell type weights. The carriage is mounted on the pole-like member in such manner that only a very small amount of binding or frictional force is created through movement of the carriage. A body supporting bench is adapted to be removably attached to the frame in a plurality of positions so that the bench can be located at various angles and at various heights relative to the frame and the user thereof.

An exercising apparatus comprising: (a) a main frame having as an upstanding generally vertically disposed structure, a single upstanding pole-like member, (b) means associated with said pole-like member for mounting said pole-like member and thereby stabilizing same against forces which would cause movement away from a vertical direction, (c) a carriage of relatively small dimension in the vertical direction compared to its distance of movement and being vertically shiftable on said pole-like member, (d) a generally horizontally disposed weight retaining bar-bell member operatively mounted on said carriage for receiving bar-bell weight discs such that a number of different bar-bell weight discs and of differing weights can be removeably disposed on said weight retaining member, (e) engagable means operatively mounted on said carriage in approximately the same horizontal region as the bar-bell member and on opposite sides of the carriage for permitting the user of the apparatus to use the engagable means to cause application of a force to the carriage against that of the weight discs on the weight retaining means, (f) a first pair of rollers located between said pole-like member and said carriage and on the same side of said carriage as said engagable means and which supports said carriage in vertical shift movement, (g) a second pair of rollers located between said pole-like member and said carriage and which supports said carriage in vertical shiftable movement, said second pair of rollers being located below and on the opposite side of said carriage with respect to said first set of rollers, said first and second pairs of rollers being the primary bearing means between said carriage and said pole-like member, and (h) a guide track on one flat surface of said pole-like member and that one pair of said first or second pairs of rollers move in said guide track.
