York Barbell

York Adjustable Krusher

The York Krusher was a novelty piece of equipment that was intended to train the pectorals and the upper back. Unlike the York Hercules Cable Sets which worked by pulling against steel strands (springs), the Krusher worked by pushing the handles together against spring tension. The Krusher was made out of cast aluminum and had the capacity to add up to 5 springs for added tension. The handles were straight which allowed a lifter to push them together from several different angles – in front, to the side, or overhead.
