An exercising apparatus that utilizes a hydraulic ram to provide resistance to force applied by the operator of the apparatus is provided. The apparatus includes a frame and an exercise bar. The exercise bar has a first end and a second end, and is pivotally attached between its first and second ends to the frame. A first exercising means is attached to the first end of the exercise bar, and a second exercising means is attached to the second end of the exercise bar. The exercising means allow the user of the apparatus to move the exercise bar relative to the frame. First and second user support means for supporting the user while the user operates the first and second exercising means to move the exercise bar are positioned adjacent the first and second exercising means, respectively, forming a first exercise station and a second exercise station. The hydraulic ram is disposed between the exercise bar and the frame and provides resistance to the movement of the exercise bar relative to the frame in one direction, but substantially no resistance to the movement of the exercise bar relative to the frame in the other direction. The resistance to the movement of the exercise bar in the one direction is adjustable whereby the force required to be exerted on the exercise bar by way of the first and second exercising means to overcome the resistance can be selectively changed.
