A power body building machine for athletes, gymnasts, body builders and the like for exercising the upper torso, including the chest, the back, and the shoulders. A rigid, upright, free standing frame includes a pair of rigid, spaced apart, sides which dynamically mount a weight bar assembly which extends horizontally therebetween. A user may enter the machine through the frame and grasp the loaded weight bar assembly, which may be stressed with “outboard”free weight bar assembly is slidably coupled to parallel, rigid, guide rods associated with each of the frame sides rods which establish a vertical travel path and it is manipulated by handles which are slidably mounted upon it for horizontal movement, and which are synchronized with each other by a cable assembly. A user can exercise by concurrently performing hand/arm movements and hand/wrist rotation while the stressed weight bar is manipulated. Rotatable sprockets are associated with the top and bottom of the machine frame. A chain entrained about the upper and lower sprockets synchronizes the weight bar assembly and enables it to be stressed when moved either upwardly or downwardly. The upper sprockets are synchronized by a rod extending across the top of the frame between them, so that proper control of the weight bar assembly is facilitated.

A body building machine for enabling a user such as an athlete, gymnast or body builder to exercise the chest, back shoulders and other upper body muscles, said machine comprising: a rigid frame adjusted to be disposed upon a supporting surface such as a gymnasium floor, the frame comprising a bottom, a top, and a pair of spaced-apart, generally parallel sides extending upwardly from said bottom said top; each of said sides including rigid, elongated guide rod means extending between said frame bottom and said frame top; weight bar means operationally extending generally horizontally across said machine between said sides for generally vertical displacement by a user of said machine, said weight bar means comprising mounting means restrained by said guide rod means and ends adapted to be stressed by suitable weights; handle means operatively coupled to said weight bar means, said handle means comprising bearing collar portions coaxially, slidably coupled to said weight bar means permitting horizontal movement with respect thereto and twistable portions associated with said collar portions adapted to be grasped by the hands of said user, thereby concurrently permitting generally horizontal hand/arm movement and hand/wrist rotation with up and down vertical displacements of said weight bar means; and, said weight bar means comprising: cable means for synchronizing horizontal movements of said handle means along said weight bar means; a central segment which is selectively rotatable relative to said mounting means for permitting said handle means to be oriented either in a position pointed toward said frame bottom or an opposite position pointing toward said frame top; and means for preventing relative rotation of said handle means collar portions relative to said weight bar means central segment.
