An exercise apparatus including a rigid frame assembly, a selectively rotatable seat assembly coupled to the rigid frame assembly, a pair of selectively movable actuator arm assemblies coupled to the selectively movable seat assembly by a plurality of vertical beams, a back pad assembly coupled to the plurality of vertical beams, and a high tension cable coupled to the pair of selectively movable actuator assemblies. The selectively movable actuator arm assemblies are further coupled to the selectively movable seat assembly, where a movement of the selectively movable actuator arm assemblies in a first direction causes the seat assembly to rotate in a second direction.
