Exercise apparatus for the lifting of weights includes horizontal movement of a bar, and the movement of the horizontal bar is connected through mechanical linkage to weights which are lifted vertically. The mechanical linkage is illustrated in different embodiments, including pivoting levers, a combination of pivoting levers and cables and pulleys, and gears connected with a cable and a pulley. Two sets of the apparatus may be linked together for joint movement, as for example doing vertical pushups, or the two sets may be used separately, as for doing alternate exercises in which the arms and hands are alternated in horizontal movement.
