Abstract: A pushup exercise device for various pushup exercises in the prone position on a platform with added resistance is provided. In an embodiment, the device includes a base platform in mechanical communication with a graspable member having a graspable portion. Furthermore, an attachment component is in mechanical communication with the graspable member. Additionally, an unobstructed passage provides a route through which a cable can be attached to the attachment component. In such embodiments, the user is allowed to perform exercises with the pushup exercise device by grasping the graspable portion of the graspable member.

Abstract: A resistance band exercise machine for performing various exercises. An embodiment includes a housing for a cable-pulley variable resistance system. Some embodiments are configured to receive one or more safety bars to set a starting position of an exercise. Some embodiments include a training partner assistantship feature for a training partner to assist the user by imparting a secondary force on the machine. The configuration of the cable-pulley variable resistance system may be in any manner based on the exercise. In some embodiments, a user performs an exercise on the resistance band exercise machine to overcome a primary (e.g., resistance bands) and secondary (e.g., springs) sources of variably increasing resistance from the cable-pulley variable resistance system.

Abstract: A maximum push-up exercise machine for various push-up exercises in the prone position on a platform with added resistance. An embodiment of the device includes a cable-pulley weight stack system housing with a cable-pulley weight stack system that is welded, bolted, or connected in any manner to the platform. The configuration of the cable-pulley weight stack system may be in any manner such that a cable thimble is positioned midpoint of the platform. The cable thimble is configured to connect to receive a snap link hook suspended from a harness or belt worn by a user, connect to a single cable handle attachment, and connect to a push-up bar via a push-up bar cable connector.

Abstract: One embodiment of a resistance band exercise machine (100) for various exercises having a cable-pulley variable resistance system housing (102) with a cable-pulley variable resistance system (104). The cable-pulley variable resistance system has a pair of uprights (110) to insert a pair of safety bars (112) or a joined safety bar (118) into a safety bar hole (114) from the uprights to set starting position of an exercise by placing a top plate (106) from the cable-pulley variable resistance system on the safety bars and increase exercise intensity by performing isometrics against the safety bars and a training partner assistantship cable-pulley system (128) or a training partner assistantship feature from the cable-pulley variable resistance system having an input lifting arm (122) with a handle grip (124) and/or a shoulder padding (126) for a training partner (136) to assist the user. The configuration of the cable-pulley variable resistance system may be in any manner based on the exercise.

Abstract: One embodiment of a maximum push-up exercise machine (100) for various push-up exercises in the prone position on a platform (108) with weights having a cable-pulley weight stack system housing (102) with a cable-pulley weight stack system (104) that is welded, bolted, or connected in any manner to said platform. The configuration of the cable-pulley weight stack system may be in any manner such that a cable thimble (110) is positioned midpoint of the platform. The cable thimble is configured to receive snap link hook from a chain (150) suspended from a harness or belt (146) worn by a user (106), connect to a single cable handle attachment (148), and connect to a push-up bar (138) via a push-up bar cable connector (140).
