The device (10) includes a frame (16) defining a base portion and provided with a vertically oriented back support member (32) for supporting the back of the operator. A lever assembly (12) is pivotally mounted proximate the forward end portion of the frame (16) for being selectively pivoted by the operator during exercise. Secured to the lever assembly (12) and extending rearwardly therefrom is a weight support assembly (13) provided at its outboard end portion with a weight carrying bar for receiving weight members. In one preferred embodiment the device (10) is also provided with a weight catch assembly (14) pivotally secured to the rear portion of the frame (16) for selectively supporting the weight carrying bar in an at rest position.
