Abstract

A weight training machine includes a central console including a motor. It further includes an arm having a length attached on either side of the console by a joint that allows rotation of the arm in a substantially vertical plane. It further includes a cable routed from the motor through the arm to a distal end of the arm. The cable terminates at an attachment point. The arm includes an outer section and an inner section arranged to telescope in a manner that changes the length of the arm.
