1. An exercise device for performing muscle building exercises using an exerciser's body weight as resistance comprising:
a frame,
said frame having one or more pairs of coaxial holes capable of accepting bolts or pins for mounting the exercise device in an elevated position onto an exercise cage, a fixed support pad and a curl bar,
wherein said curl bar is mounted onto said frame in a fixed position above said support pad such that when the exerciser uses the device, she can grasp said curl bar, rest her forearms on said support pad, contract the muscles on her arms, shoulders and back and lift herself from the ground,and wherein said support pad is mounted onto said frame at an angle between 45 and 55 degrees as measured from the intersection between a horizontal plane parallel to level ground and a vertical plane perpendicular to level ground and bisecting both the support pad and the curl bar wherein the initial side of the angle is defined from the exerciser toward the curl bar and parallel to the horizontal plane.
