Abstract:
An exercise apparatus for a squat exercise by a user comprises a user buttocks pad supported by an arm pivotally mounted for rotation in a vertical plane about an upright to allow the user to perform the exercise while in contact with the buttocks pad, a length of the arm and its initial angular position with respect to the horizontal being adjustable. A pair of hand grips are provided for engagement by the user during the exercise. A weight stack is operatively connected to the arm for providing a resistive force to the rotation of the arm in a first direction and an assisting force to the rotation of the arm in a second direction, while a footrest is provided for maintaining the feet of a user to allow the weight of the user to be directed through the heels with the user resting against the buttocks pad during the exercise. A base supports the arm upright, weight stack and footrest.
