An exercise device has a pair of main hydraulic cylinders mounted in gimbals in a framework with hand grips attached to the distal ends of the cylinder rods. Resistance to movements of the rods is provided by an adjustable flow valve connected between the ports of the cylinders.

A chair is attached to the framework which permits the user to grasp the hand grips during exercise.
