The forward ends of the levers are adapted to hold removable weights and also include forwardly and upwardly angled handles adapted to be grasped and pressed in an upward arcuate direction by a person supported on the seat. The orientation of the sides of the frames and the levers with respect to the seat insures that pivotal movement of the levers occurs along vertical planes that diverge outwardly from the front of the seat, thereby providing a dumbbell press exercise machine that more naturally accommodates the musculoskeletal movements of a person.Other References
