The subject invention provides an upper body exercise machine with increased longitudinal and lateral range of motions. As described herein, the exercise machine contains dual axis, dual hinge mechanisms enabling a user emulate the natural biomechanical motion associated with free weights, while maintaining the stability of an exercise machine. The dual axis, dual hinge mechanisms permit the handles to be independently or in combination moved forward (i.e., longitudinally) and inward (i.e., laterally) in a relationship selected by the user. Consequently, the user can grasp the handles and push forward and inward in the natural actuate path. Alternatively, the user can select another path to give the muscles a different workout.
