[0001] This application claims the benefit of provisional patent application Ser. No. U.S. 60/826,617, filed 2006 Sep. 22 by the present inventor. FEDERALLY SPONSORED RESEARCH [0002] Not applicable SEQUENCE LISTING OR PROGRAM [0003] Not applicable. BACKGROUND [0004] 1. Field Of Invention [0005] This invention relates to exercise machines, specifically to pectoral muscle developers. [0006] 2. Prior Art [0007] Although the pectorals represent the third largest muscle group in the body behind the legs and back, it is one of the hardest to reach when exercising. The following exercises represent the current state of the art in developing the chest: the bench press and pushups, the cable crossover machine, cable and dumbbell flyes, dips and the pec deck. Each is deficient in some regard. [0008] In the bench press, the pectoral muscles are called upon only in the very beginning of the movement, as the humerus is drawn forward. The shoulder muscles and triceps soon take over and the pectorals are no longer involved. Many people frustrated with their lack of progress in developing the chest resort to using too much weight in the bench press and as a result hurt their shoulders. All the limitations of the bench press apply to pushups and dips as well. [0009] The cable crossover machine provides resistance over the full course of the exercise movement but is effective only in the vertical plane. There is no resistance in response to any horizontal movement, thereby excluding many chest muscle fibers. [0010] In cable and dumbbell flyes sideways resistance and pectoral involvement diminish as the arms move upward and the direction of the opposing force points downward (although this effect is lessened when a cable is used). [0011] The pec deck provides resistance throughout as the arms are adducted transversely, yet does not account for the full range of pectoral involvement in moving the arms. [0012] The "Gyrotonic" exerciser was designed to work the arms, and cannot be modified to work the chest in the manner of the "Most Muscular Replicator/Multiflexer." The reasons why are discussed in the "Description of Invention" section under "Advantages." SUMMARY [0013] The arsenal of chest building equipment today is incomplete, comparable to the dilemma that faced Arnold Schwartzenegger when it came to building arms. He realized that all of his biceps muscle fibers were not being called upon in performing the barbell curl because the biceps not only flex the elbow but supinate the forearm. His innovation was to supinate the forearm as he curled with a dumbbell, with stupendous results. Likewise, the pectoral muscles not only adduct the arms transversely, but also rotate the arms medially. The fusion of these two functions into one movement is accomplished uniquely by this embodiment of the "Most Muscular Replicator/Multiflexer." [0014] In accordance with one embodiment of my invention, two grooved wheels of sufficient circumference to take up an effective length of slack are placed in a horizontal plane, turned by variable-height poles to which rotating handles are attached. The position of the handles are horizontally adjustable. A cord attached to a pulley wraps around each wheel as the poles are moved from a position from behind the back to in front of the exerciser. The pulleys raise a sled holding weights along a vertical track. In one embodiment, a platform with two slots to accommodate the movement of the poles is fitted over the wheels to support the exerciser. The planetary motion thus formed in negative and positive opposition to the resistance of the weights isolates the chest and seamlessly engages it in medial rotation and transverse adduction. Note too that by simply turning around the exerciser can reverse the direction of the resistance.
