this morning as i about to go to the hospital, i saw an auntie working out in the senior workout area. she was violently using this equipment which has 2 handles. u have to hold one handle in one hand and pull one down. so if ur right hand pulls, ur left hand goes up. if ur left pulls, ur right goes up. its like a... pulley. well, i'm not sure if i've confused u but.. yeah, at least i'm trying. heh.
