An exercise system (10) is provided for allowing reversible displacement of at least one weight element (12) responsive to a lifting force imparted to the weight element (12) by a user. The exercise system (10) includes an exercise frame (14) as well as an arm actuated mechanism (58) and a leg actuated mechanism (100). The arm actuated mechanism (58) is secured to the exercise frame (14) and is coupled to the weight element (12) for reversibly displacing the weight element. The leg actuated mechanism (100) is also secured to the exercise frame (14) and is also coupled to the weight element (12) to allow reversible displacement of the weight element responsive to movement of the legs of the user. An exercise coupling mechanism (128) is secured to the exercise frame (14) and the weight element (12) in order to couple the arm actuated mechanism (58) to the leg actuated mechanism (100) for providing a lifting force to the weight element (12) responsive to independent actuation of the leg mechanism (100) or the arm mechanism (58), or in the alternative, to allow for a combined actuation of the leg and arm mechanisms (100 and 58).

An exercise system for reversibly displacing at least one predetermined weight element responsive to a lifting force imparted to said weight element by a user, comprising: (a) an exercise frame member; (b) arm actuated means secured to said exercise frame member and coupled to said weight element for reversibly displacing said weight element responsive to a displacement of at least one arm of said user, said arm actuated means including a pair of arm bar members rotatable about a substantially vertical axis, a pair of arm pulley members fixedly secured to said arm bar members and rotatable therewith, and an arm cable member fixedly secured on opposing ends thereof to each of said arm pulley members; (c) leg actuated means secured to said exercise frame member and coupled to said weight element for reversibly displacing said weight element independently of a displacement of said arm actuated means, said arm actuated means being displaceable independent of a displacement of said leg actuated means; and, (d) exercise means secured to said exercise frame member and said weight element for coupling said arm actuated means to said leg actuated means for providing said lifting force to said weight element responsive to (1) a combined displacement of said arm actuated means and said leg actuated means, (2) an independent displacement of said arm actuated means, and, (3) an independent displacement of said leg actuated means, said arm cable member being coupled to said exercise coupling means for displacement of said weight element.
