Foldable low-profile weightlifting bench

A weightlifting bench comprising:

• a main frame comprising:
• a first pair of elongated, spaced, parallel supports;
• and
• a second pair of elongated, spaced, parallel supports;
• wherein said first pair of elongated, spaced, parallel supports are attached to said second pair of elongated, spaced, parallel supports at respective ends thereof and together form a rectangular shape;
• a flat platform;
• wherein said flat platform is attached to said main frame;
• wherein said flat platform has a rectangular shape substantially similar to said rectangular shape of said main frame and is sized to fit upon and be releasable attached to said main frame;
• two pivoting support arms, each including;
• a proximal end;
• wherein said proximal end is pivotally attached to a respective one of said first pair of elongated, spaced, parallel supports;
• and
• a distal end including:
• a weightlifting bar support;
• wherein said weightlifting bar support is adapted to support a weightlifting bar thereon;
• and
• at least four pivoting support legs, each including;
• a proximal end;
• wherein said proximal end of at least two of said at least four pivoting support legs are pivotally attached to a first one of said first pair of elongated, spaced, parallel supports;
• and
• wherein said proximal end of at least two of said at least four pivoting support legs are pivotally attached to a second one of said first pair of elongated, spaced, parallel supports;
• and
• a distal end;
• wherein said distal end of each of said at least four pivoting support legs are adapted to engage a support surface and hold said weightlifting bench stably thereon;
• wherein when said weightlifting bench is in a stored configuration said at least four pivoting support legs are parallel to said first pair of elongated, spaced, parallel supports;
• and
• wherein when said weightlifting bench is in an in-use configuration said at least four pivoting support legs are perpendicular to said first pair of elongated, spaced, parallel supports;
• wherein said weightlifting bench is adapted such that in said stored configuration said two pivoting support arms are situated parallel to said first pair of elongated, spaced, parallel supports;
• and wherein said weightlifting bench is adapted such that in said in-use configuration said two pivoting support arms are situated perpendicular to said first pair of elongated, spaced, parallel supports, such that a user can lay down upon a top surface of said flat platform, lift a weightlifting bar off of said weightlifting bar supports of said two pivoting support arms, perform exercises with said weightlifting bar, and then replace said weightlifting bar back upon said weightlifting bar supports;
• and
• wherein each respective pivotal connection between said main frame and said two pivoting support arms and said at least four pivoting support legs are formed to include pin-in-hole connectors, such that when in said stored and in-use configurations they are securely held in place.
