The present invention refers to a gymnastic apparatus for pectoral muscles. <??>In particular, the invention refers to a gymnastic apparatus for pectoral muscles of the type comprising a support frame; two user-actuated push arms fitted to the frame to oscillate with respect to the frame around axes from initial to final positions; and weight unit used to maintain normally the push arms in initial positions. <??>The known gymnastic apparatuses of the aforementioned type do not allow for complete contraction, thus preventing ideal training of pectoral muscles, since the user's elbows are placed at a certain distance when the push arms are moved to final positions. <??>The purpose of the present invention is to obtain a gymnastic apparatus for pectoral muscles without the aforementioned drawbacks. <??>The gymnastic apparatus for pectoral muscles of the invention comprises a support frame; two user-operated actuators, each comprising a push arm fitted to the frame to oscillate around a first axis from initial to final position; and a weight unit used to normally maintain the push arms in initial positions; characterised in that each actuator also comprises a support element for the user's forearm fitted to the push arm to oscillate around a second axis during at least part of the movement of the push arm from initial to final positions. <??>The description of the invention continues with reference to the enclosed drawings of a possible, non-restrictive embodiment, whereby: Fig. 1 is a diagrammatic perspective view of a preferred embodiment of the gymnastic apparatus of the invention; Fig. 2 and 3 are front views of a detail of Fig. 1 shown in two different <IMAGE> |
