Abstract: A weight training device for providing substantially uniform resistance throughout the range of motion of each of a variety of weight lifting exercises. Upstanding front and rear stanchions are attached to front and rear portions of a base, respectively. In a first embodiment, the front stanchion is rigidly attached to the base, the rear stanchion is pivotally attached to the base, and a lever arm assembly is pivotally attached to the front stanchion and includes a dolly cage attached to the rear stanchion that forces the rear stanchion to pivot toward and away from the front stanchion as the assembly is pivoted in a vertical plane by a weight trainee against the resistance of weight suspended from the assembly. In a second embodiment, the front stanchion is mounted for reciprocal, vertical motion on a rod attached to the base.
