(19) The above intensity adjustment band (200) is movably fixed to the intensity adjustment rod (100), and such intensity adjustment band (200) applies the leverage action to the hydraulic cylinder (300) to play the role of adjusting the weight load. At this point, as the above intensity adjustment band (200) moves closer to the axis pin (P1) on one end of the intensity adjustment rod (200), the weight load of the hydraulic cylinder (300) decreases due to the leverage principle. On the other hand, as the above intensity adjustment band (200) moves closer to the axis pin (P4) on the other end of the intensity adjustment rod (200), the weight load of the hydraulic cylinder (300) increases due to the leverage principle.

(20) The both ends of the above hydraulic cylinder (300) are connected to the lower back part of the bench frame (11) and to the intensity adjustment band (200) respectively so that they rotate as the axis pins (P2)(P3), and such hydraulic cylinder (300) plays the role of applying the weight load counteracting with the preexisting weight while the leg extension weight training part (30) is used for the weight training exercise. At this point, the hydraulic oil viscosity of the above hydraulic cylinder (300) is optimally adjusted to the 250 kg health machine so that the users can adjust the weight resistance to their preference for exercises involving weight resistances ranging up to 250 kg.

(21) According to this invention, a pair of brackets (11a)(11b) providing support is installed on the above bench frame (11) respectively for the joint (110)(310) between the intensity adjustment rod (100) and hydraulic cylinder (300) to rotate as the axis pins (P1)(P2), and the bearing (B) is mounted on the pin hole of the above joints (110)(310) respectively.

(22) According to one executed example of this invention, as displayed in FIGS. 3 & 4, a pair of connection pieces (210) providing support is installed on one side of the above intensity adjustment band (200) for the joint (320) of the hydraulic cylinder (300) to rotate as the axis pin (P3), the insert hole (220) where the intensity adjustment rod (100) will be movably inserted is established on the center part of the above intensity adjustment band (200), a pair of fixing pieces (230) with an established cutting part (231) for penetration to the insert hole (22) is established on the other side of the above intensity adjustment band (200), a screw is used to combine the fixing nob (240) with the above fixing piece (230), the knurling for expanding the friction force is established on the outer surface of the above intensity adjustment rod (100), and the bearing (B) is mounted on the pin hole of the above joint (320). At this point, when the above fixing knob (240) is loosened, the users can easily adjust the weight resistance to their preference in units of millimeter through moving the intensity adjustment band (200), and when the fixing knob (240) is fastened after the adjustment, the intensity adjustment band (200) becomes rigidly fixed to the intensity adjustment rod (100).

(23) According to another executed example of this invention, a pair of connection pieces (210) providing support is installed on one side of the above intensity adjustment band (200) for the joint (320) of the hydraulic cylinder (300) to rotate as the axis pin (P3), the insert hole (220) where the intensity adjustment rod (100) will be movably inserted is established on the center part of the above intensity adjustment band (200), a number of fixing pins (250) to be inserted into the pin hole (101) are installed on the above intensity adjustment band (200), and the bearing (B) is mounted on the pin hole of the above joint (320). At this point, when the above fixing pin (250) is taken out and the intensity adjustment band (200) is moved, the users can easily adjust the weight resistance to their preference through choosing from a number of pin holes (101) established at intervals of 20 ml, and when the fixing pin (250) is inserted after the adjustment, the intensity adjustment band (200) becomes rigidly fixed to the intensity adjustment rod (100).

(24) The both ends of the above leg bar (400) are connected to the other end of the intensity adjustment rod (100) and to the leg extension weight training part (30) respectively as the axes (P4)(P5), and since the leg extension weight training part (30) is connected to such leg bar (400), when the leg bar (400) is pulled forward while the leg extension weight training part (30) is used for the weight training exercise, as displayed in FIG. 7b, the axis (P4) on the other end of the intensity adjustment rod (100) rotates forward, and, therefore, the weight resistance counteracting with the preexisting weight applies to the hydraulic cylinder (300) and elastic member (500).

(25) According to this invention, a pair of support pieces (410) providing support is installed on the back end of the above leg bar (400) for the joint (120) on the other end of the intensity adjustment rod (100) to rotate as the axis pin (P4), a pair of brackets (31) providing support is installed on the above leg extension weight training part (30) for the joint (420) on the front end of the leg bar (400) to rotate as the axis (P5), and the bearing (B) is mounted on the pin hole of the above joints (120)(420) respectively.

(26) The both ends of the above elastic member (500) are fixed to the bench frame (11) and to the lower part of the leg extension weight training part (30) respectively, and such elastic member (500) plays the role of applying the weight resistance (tensile force) to the leg extension weight training part (30) while the leg extension weight training part (30) is used for the weight training exercise. At this point, the above elastic member (500) performs reciprocating motions during the weight training exercise.

(28) The above intensity adjustment band (600) is movably fixed to the intensity adjustment rod (51) prepared on the back part of the hammer bench weight training part (50), and such intensity adjustment band (600) plays the role of adjusting the weight load through applying the leverage action to the hydraulic cylinder (700). At this point, as the above intensity adjustment band (600) moves closer to the axis pin (P8) on the back end of the intensity adjustment rod (51), the weight load of the hydraulic cylinder (300) decreases due to the leverage principle. On the other hand, as the above intensity adjustment band (600) moves closer to the front part of the intensity adjustment rod (51), the weight load of the hydraulic cylinder (700) increases due to the leverage principle.

(29) The both ends of the above hydraulic cylinder (700) are connected to the front center part of the hammer frame (13) and to the intensity adjustment band (600) so that they rotate as the axis pins (P6)(P7) respectively, and such hydraulic cylinder (700) plays the role of applying the weight load counteracting with the preexisting weight while the hammer bench weight training part (50) is used for the weight training exercise. At this point, the hydraulic oil viscosity of the above hydraulic cylinder (700) is optimally adjusted to the 250 kg health machine so that the users can adjust the weight resistance to their preference for exercises involving weight resistances ranging up to 250 kg.

(30) According to this invention, a pair of brackets (13a)(13b) providing support is installed on the above hammer frame (13) respectively for the joint (51a)(710) between the intensity adjustment rod (51) and hydraulic cylinder (700) to rotate as the axis pins (P8)(P6), and the bearing (B) is mounted on the pin hole of the above joint (51a)(710) respectively.

(31) According to one executed example of this invention, as shown in FIGS. 5 & 6, a pair of connection pieces (610) providing support is installed on one side of the above intensity adjustment band (600) for the joint (720) of the hydraulic cylinder (700) to rotate as the axis pin (P7), the insert hole (620) where the intensity adjustment rod (51) will be movably inserted is established on the center part of the above intensity adjustment band (600), a pair of fixing pieces (630) with an established cutting part (631) for penetration to the insert hole (620) is established on the other side of the above intensity adjustment band (600), a screw is used to combine the fixing knob (640) with the above fixing pieces (630), the knurling for expanding the friction force is established on the outer surface of the above intensity adjustment rod (51), and the bearing (B) is mounted on the pin hole of the above joint (720). At this point, when the above fixing knob (640) is loosened, the users can easily adjust the weight resistance to their preference in units of millimeter through moving the intensity adjustment band (600), and when the fixing knob (640) is fastened after the adjustment, the intensity adjustment band (600) becomes rigidly fixed to the intensity adjustment rod (51).

(32) According to another executed example of this invention, as shown in FIG. 8, a pair of connection pieces (610) providing support is installed on one side of the above intensity adjustment band (600) for the joint (720) of the hydraulic cylinder (700) to rotate as the axis pin (P7), the insert hole (620) where the intensity adjustment rod (51) will be movably inserted is established on the center of the above intensity adjustment band (600), a number of pin holes (51b) are established on the above intensity adjustment rod (51) at appropriate intervals, the fixing pin (650) to be inserted into the pin hole (51b) is installed on the above intensity adjustment band (600), and the bearing (B) is mounted on the pin hole of the above joint (720). At this point, when the above fixing pin (650) is taken out and the intensity adjustment band (600) is moved, the users can easily adjust the weight resistance to their preference through choosing from a number of pin holes (51b) established at intervals of 20 ml, and when the fixing pin (650) is inserted after the adjustment, the intensity adjustment band (600) becomes rigidly fixed to the intensity adjustment rod (51).

(33) On the other hand, according to the other executed example of this invention, as shown in FIG. 9, the brackets (13c)(13d) providing support are installed on the above hammer frame (13) respectively for the rotation rings (R1)(R2) to rotate as the axis pins (P9)(P10), and the rotation brackets (K1)(K2) providing support are connected to the above rotation rings (R1)(R2) respectively for the joint (51a)(710) between the intensity adjustment rod (51) and hydraulic cylinder (700) to rotate as the axis pins (P8)(P6). At this point, the above rotation rings (R1)(R2) and the rotation brackets (K1)(K2) must provide support so that the hammer bench weight training part (50) can vertically and horizontally rotate in 360 degrees.

(34) This invention constructed as described allows the users to adjust the weigh resistance to their preference ranging from 3 kg to 250 kg through the hydraulic cylinder (300)(700) without using any weight, and the compact size allows the users to simply adjust the weight and lie down on the bench (20) or stand on the bench (20) to conduct all kinds of exercise allowed on the hammer bench health machine, high fly health machine, long pull health machine, leg extension health machine, leg curl health machine, arm curl health machine, shoulder press health machine and chest press health machine.

(35) Namely, in this invention, for the intensity adjustment, the intensity adjustment rod (100)(51), intensity adjustment band (200)(600) and hydraulic cylinder (300)(700) are installed so that the all-in-one upper body exercise can be conducted on the bench (20) and that the all-in-one lower body exercise can be conducted on the bench (20) as well.

(36) Accordingly, the strength of this invention is that, different from the preexisting health machines that require the weight to be replaced according to the exercise intensity, the users can use the leverage principle of the hydraulic cylinder (300)(700) and the reciprocating motion of the elastic member (500) through the intensity adjustment band (200)(600) to simply and diversely adjust the weight load.

(37) In addition, the strength of this invention is that since the weight is not used, the risk of negligent accidents to be caused by the weight can be completely removed, and that the reduced volume and weight allow convenient transfer and transport overall.

(38) In addition, the strength of this invention is that the users can easily adjust the weight resistance to their preference through moving the intensity adjustment band (200)(600), and that the ease of use and exercise efficiency can be maximized through such process.
