Counterbalanced weight system

摘要

Disclosed herein is a counterbalance weight system for use with exercising machines in order to negate the weight that is intrinsic to a weight lifting structure, so as to provide a true indication of the amount of work being done. The machine is defined by a framework which supports a plurality of weights the magnitude of which is selectively adjustable, an area to accommodate a user so as to lift the weights, and counterbalance weights operatively connected and opposing the preceeding structure so that the weight of the associated hardware necessary to perform the exercise is effectively cancelled out, and the weights lifted and selectable are solely that which constitutes the work of the exercise.
