In an illustrative embodiment of the invention, an exercise device
comprises a support structure comprising a support member and a support
arm having an upper support arm portion and a lower support arm portion.
The support arm is mounted to the support member by a pivot assembly
comprising a longitudinal pivot control mechanism and a lateral pivot
control mechanism. The longitudinal pivot control mechanism is configured
to allow the support arm to be selectively positioned at a first angular
orientation in a longitudinal plane and the lateral pivot control
mechanism is configured to allow the support arm to be selectively
positioned at a second angular orientation in a lateral plane orthogonal
to the longitudinal plane. The exercise device further comprises a yoke
pivotably attached to the upper support arm by a yoke attachment member
for rotation about a yoke rotation axis. The yoke is configured for
engagement by a user in an exercise orientation and for selective
rotation about the yoke rotation axis by the user.
