Abstract
A weightlifting apparatus supports a weight bar and controls its path. The apparatus allows a lifter to complete the full range of a lift repetition encompassing lowering the weight and rebounding with an explosive lift to include release of the weight bar at the end of the lift. The apparatus controls and catches the weight bar at the bars greatest height. A gage on the apparatus allows measurement of the height of the bar so that progress can be measured. A spotter operates a return and reset mechanism in the apparatus to return the bar to the control of the lifter and to reset the catch mechanism of the apparatus.
Claims13
A weight training apparatus comprising:
- a weight bar for receiving weights;
- a first frame holding said weight bar;
- a second frame connected to said first frame and controlling the motion of said first frame and said weight bar;
- a third frame supporting said second frame;
- a catch mechanism, said catch mechanism allowing a lifter to lower and then lift said weight bar and catching said first frame and holding it at the highest point in the lift of said weight bar during use;
- a return and reset mechanism operable to return said weight bar to the initial position;
- and
- a release mechanism operable to disengage said catch mechanism;
- said return and reset mechanism operable to reset said catch mechanism to allow subsequent lifts.
