Martial Arts training equipment

About 10-13 years ago I saw a documentary that was about 3 hours long and covered the Martial arts in almost every country that has it.

In the documentary they showed an exresies machine that was very simple to make but very difficult to use. I have been searching for 3 hours on the internet but I have not come close to finding it yet. I forgot the name of the documentary as well.

The device was shown as a training device for the Chinese Shaolin Monks. It was two vertical metal Cylinders that weighed around 200-300lbs and it was about shoulder height. Then the monk would stick his hands between the two cylinders and push his arms all the way through up to the shoulders.

If anyone can give me the name or a link to be able to find it that would be great!
