Abstract
A weight bench tilt locking mechanism system and apparatus is provided. The tilt locking mechanism allows a single lever to simultaneously release two pins which are temporarily secured to two respective movable support bars which hold the bench portion of the weight bench in place. The tilt locking mechanism allows the bench to be selectively secured at various angles so as to allow a user to work out various muscles of his/her body. The tilt locking mechanism further allows the weight bench to be folded in a compact manner for storage while the device is not in use.
