    No the stack is pulled by a dual pulley

    See there is it right above stack.

    If one arm is used the machine through physics anchors off of the other arm pulley, and the stack pulley is allowed to act as a pulley, instead of a stationary point.

    So it's splitting resistance by using one arm.

    Good explanation and pic but, just cause I'm slow, "So it's splitting resistance by using one arm," means that the one arm is only doing 1/2 of 200lbs? Or, put another way, that one arm is only getting 100lbs i.e. 1/2 of the 200lb. load due to the use of only one of the dual pulleys?
