An exercise frame includes an upstanding back rest and an intersecting seat, with pairs of exercise arm and leg assemblies supported along corresponding sides of the back rest. Each arm and leg assembly is segmented and linked together so as to limit and restrict movement of selected muscle groups within selected fixed planes defined to include a straight line passing through the corresponding proximal and distal ends while achieving loading of primary and secondary joint combinations.

An exercise apparatus comprising: an exercise frame; an exercise assembly having: a proximal end coupled to the frame and a distal end; a first pivot member rotatably connecting the exercise assembly proximal end to the frame, the first pivot member having an axis of rotation perpendicular to a frame side portion, the first pivot member permitting the exercise assembly to be radially offset from the frame side portion along the first pivot member axis; a second pivot member rotatably connecting the exercise assembly proximal end to the first pivot member for rotation about a second pivot member axis perpendicular to the first pivot member axis, the second pivot member permitting the exercise assembly to be offset from the first pivot member axis; a first arm segment having a proximal end forming a part of the exercise assembly proximal end and a distal end forming a part of the exercise assembly distal and; a third pivot member rotatably connecting the first arm segment proximal end to the exercise assembly proximal third pivot member having an axis of rotation perpendicular to the second pivot member axis, the third pivot member permitting rotation of the first arm segment about the third pivot member and within an exercise assembly plane of rotation defined by a combination of an angular position of the exercise assembly proximal end rotated about the first and second pivot members; a second arm segment having proximal and distal ends; a fourth pivot member rotatably connecting the second arm segment proximal end to the first arm segment distal end the fourth pivot member having an axis of rotation parallel to the third pivot member axis of rotation, the second arm segment thus rotatable about the fourth pivot axis within the exercise assembly plane; a grip assembly; and a fifth pivot member within the second arm segment distal end, the fifth pivot member having an axis of rotation parallel to the third and fourth axes of rotation, the fifth pivot member rotatably connecting the grip assembly to the second arm segment distal end for rotation of the grip assembly about the fifth pivot member and within the exercise assembly plane; means for limiting movement of the assembly first and second arm segments within the exercise assembly plane; and means for applying an exercise resistance to movement of the exercise assembly distal end about the proximal end, the movement within the exercise plane.
