An exercise apparatus which features a bench mounted on a frame and having rigid rotatable arms mounted at opposing ends of the frame for exercise of groups of leg muscles and arm muscles respectively. Both rotatable members are connected to rotatable disks which have a plurality of attachment points disposed on opposite sides of their axes for connection of a weight bearing member so that the direction of rotation of the disk and of the point at which its rotation starts to do work can be varied whereby a large number of differing exercises can be performed with relatively simple apparatus.

Apparatus for the exercise of an athlete\s legs by lifting weight against the force of gravity, comprising: a frame; a weight; a bench mounted on said frame; a single arm mounted on said frame for being rotated about a first generally horizontal axis upon exertion of force thereon by an athlete; a drum mounted on said frame for rotation about a second axis; means connecting said single arm to said drum for transmitting force therebetween, such that said drum is rotated upon rotation of said arm about its axis; and a flexible tension member connected to said drum to be wound onto said drum upon rotation thereof, said tension member being connected to said weight to lift and lower the same when said single arm is rotated, wherein said means connecting said single arm and said drum includes means for permitting the athlete to select which of two possible directions of rotation of said arm about said first axis will rotate said drum to wind said tension member thereupon so as to lift said weight in response to movement of said arm in either selected direction in perfomance of a given exercise, and to permit the point at which rotation of said arm from a rest position causes commencement of lifting of said weight from a rest position to be varied independent of the distance through which said weight is lifted by rotation of said arm through a given degree of rotation.
