Abstract: An exercise machine utilizing a dynamically controlled resistance technique. The machine employs two pivoting torque arms. Movement of a first torque arm is initiated by a user while performing an exercise routine. A strap and pulley system is utilized to guide a mobile member along the second torque arm to change the resistance perceived by the user. Weights can be added to the mobile member to further increase the perceived resistance. Hand levers are positioned to be operated by the user, which levers function to effect the movement of the mobile unit at any instant during the exercise routine.
