Exercise apparatus for performing two-handed exercises

摘要

An exercise apparatus for performing two-handed exercises includes a frame to which weights are connected and a pair of hand grip assemblies with which the frame is moved by the user between two positions of movement during an exercise routine. Each hand grip assembly includes a ring and an elongated grip joined to so as to extend generally across the center of the ring. Each ring is pivotally connected to the frame in a manner which permits the ring to pivot relative to the frame about a pivot axis which is fixed in position relative to the frame and disposed across the ring and arranged generally perpendicular to the grip. When the frame is moved between two positions of movement with the hands grasped about the elongate grips, the rings are permitted to pivot relative to the frame to accommodate an adjustment in position of the wrists of the grasping hands.
