Abstract

A hang row pendulum apparatus, comprising: a crossbar; and, a main post, connected to the crossbar at a lower end of the main post and having a pivot point on the main post opposite the crossbar.

Claims (23)

1 . A hang row pendulum apparatus, comprising:

a crossbar configured with two, unattached opposing ends and at least one weight stop; and,

a main post, connected to the crossbar at a lower end of the main post and having a pivot point on the main post opposite the crossbar,

wherein the at least one weight stop is formed in a J-hook configuration.

2 . The hang row pendulum apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising a mounting bracket connected the crossbar to the main post.

3 . The hang row pendulum apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the mounting bracket has a plurality of bracket holes.

4 . An exercise system, comprising:

a support; and,

the hang row pendulum apparatus according to claim 1 , rotatably attached to the support at the pivot point.

5 . The exercise system according to claim 4 , wherein the support is connected to a weight rack.

6 . The hang row pendulum apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the main post has a plurality of post holes.

7 . The hang row pendulum apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the main post has a plurality of pivot holes.

8 . The hang row pendulum apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the main post is offered as a set of main posts configured in a plurality of sizes.

9 . The hang row pendulum apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising at least one aperture to attach resistance to the hang row pendulum apparatus.

10 . The hang row pendulum apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the pivot point defines an axis of rotation of the main post.

11 . A method of using a hang row pendulum apparatus, comprising:

attaching a main post to a support of a weight rack at a pivot point;

grasping a crossbar attached to a lower end of the main post, wherein the crossbar is configured with two, unattached opposing ends and at least one weight stop, wherein the at least one weight stop is formed in a J-hook configuration;

pulling the crossbar from a starting position, causing the main post to rotate around the pivot point; and,

returning the crossbar to the starting position.

12 . The method according to claim 11 , further comprising raising or lowering a level of the crossbar using a plurality of post holes disposed in the main post.

13 . The method according to claim 11 , further comprising raising or lowering a level of the crossbar using a plurality of pivot holes disposed in the main post.

14 . The method according to claim 11 , further comprising loading resistance on the hang row pendulum apparatus.
