Abstract

An exercise machine has multiple exercise stations including a press station at which exercises are performed in opposition to a selected amount of weight in a weight stack.
The press station includes a swing link unit pivotally mounted at a fixed swing axis and providing a variable swing axis for a swing frame to be manipulated by the exercising person in press exercises. Movement of the swing frame is resisted by a cable loaded by the weight stack and connected to a lever portion of the swing frame. Provision is made for limiting downward swing of the swing link unit to fix the location of the swing axis when shoulder press exercises are to be performed, and for limiting swing of the swing frame toward the swing link unit when incline press exercises are to be performed. Incline press exercises and abdominal exercises can be performed when the swing frame is manipulated intermediate the positions used for performing incline press and shoulder press exercises.
