1. A mechanical exercise apparatus for resistance exercise of exterior shoulder muscles, comprising:
a primary armature;
a secondary armature, wherein a proximate end of the secondary armature is connected with the primary armature;
a handle disposed on the primary armature, parallel to the secondary armature;
a hub connected to a distal end of the secondary armature connecting the secondary armature rotatably to a frame assembly;
a weight stack comprising a plurality of selectable weight plates;
a main cable guided by a plurality of pulleys disposed on the secondary armature and a frame assembly, the main cable terminating at a weight stack;
a plurality of mode selection disks disposed on the secondary armature; and
a mode selection disk pin for selectably engaging between a first mode of main cable travel requiring constant force to displace the weight stack and a second mode of main cable travel requiring varying force to displace the weight stack,
wherein angulation of the primary armature causes multiple planes of motion of the primary armature and secondary armature,
wherein angulation of the primary armature causes the main cable to raise selected engaged weight plates on the weight stack, and
wherein the primary armature and the secondary armature are connected by a fixed chain and a sprocket connector.
