Abstract: An exercise machine suitable for performing a shoulder press has a support frame with a seat mounted on the front portion thereof. A pair of similar lever members are pivotally supported by means of sleeve bearings on axles mounted on the rear portion of the support member. The lever members and their support bearings are located at a level below the top of the seat. The axles are angled away from the central axis of the support member and run parallel to the base of the support member. The lever members are positioned in opposing relationship with the rear portions thereof substantially parallel to each other and with the forward portions extending angularly away from each other in the forward direction. Handles are mounted on the forward ends of the levers. Removable weights are mounted on each of the levers proximate to the handles. The angulation of the support axles is such as to effect a converging and rotating motion of the exerciser's arms when the levers are drawn upwardly over the exerciser's head.
