BARBELL SAFETY DEVICE AND METHODS
Disclosed herein is a barbell safety device. The device mounts in pairs over the spaced stop collars of a barbell. The device is generally ‘T’ shaped and is used in an inverted ‘T’ orientation. The device comprises a stop collar receiver configured to house a portion of a loadable sleeve of a barbell as well as the stop collar of the barbell. A central support assembly extends from the stop collar receiver to an elongate base support. The central support assembly in preferred forms is telescoping and can be fixed by pins or other means at a variety of lengths to accommodate to the needs of the user. When the barbell is lowered during exercise, the base support will engage the ground and prevent further lowering of the barbell thereby protecting the user from injury.
Exercise Rack Enclosure System
An exercise rack enclosure system for providing an exercise rack which is concealable within an enclosure. The exercise rack enclosure system generally includes an enclosure including an interior space. An exercise rack is pivotably connected to the enclosure within the interior space. The exercise rack is adjustable between a collapsed position, in which the exercise rack is completely positioned within the interior space of the enclosure, and an extended position, in which the exercise rack extends out of the interior space of the enclosure for use. The enclosure may optionally include one or more doors for concealing the interior space and exercise rack when not in use. Various attachments may be stored in the enclosure and removably connected to the exercise rack for performing a wide range of exercise moves.
Bench Press Assembly
A safety apparatus for a bench press.
BARBELL SUPPORT ASSEMBLY
A barbell support assembly is provided, including: a base; a support arm, including a connection section and a hook section connected with a first end of the connection section, the connection section being rotatably connected to the base and swingable between a first position and a second position, the hook section defining a hooking space; and a restoration unit, connected with a second end of the connection section, biasing the support arm toward the first position; when a rod of a barbell is received within the hooking space, the barbell drives the support arm to move from the first position to the second position, and when the rod of the barbell is removed from the support arm, the restoration unit forces the support arm to return to the first position.
Cam and wedge barbell clip
A clip having a cam and upper and lower curved sections with each upper and lower curved section having corresponding inner and outer curved wedges, the inner and outer curved wedges slidably engaging with each other and tightening about a barbell to secure a weight plate on a barbell upon rotation of a cam lever to a closed position.
Adjustable support for exercise system
An exemplary exercise device includes, among other things, an attachment structure configured to be mounted to a support assembly, a first arm directly pivotably connected to the attachment structure, a second arm directly pivotably connected to the attachment structure, a bracket directly pivotably connected to the first arm and directly pivotably connected to the second arm, and a catch member configured for accepting a weight bar. The catch member is pivotably connected to at least one of the first arm, the second arm, or the at least one bracket such that the at least one catch member is pivotable relative to the at least one bracket.
SQUAT RACK MOUNTABLE DIP EXERCISING SYSTEM
A squat rack mountable dip exercising system includes a frame that is removably positionable on and extended between a first guard and a second guard wherein the first and second guards are engaged with and extend forwardly from a squat rack. A grip is attached to the frame and is configured to be graspable by a person performing a dip exercise.
MOTOR RESISTANCE CONTROL STRUCTURE FOR AN EXERCISING APPARATUS
A motor resistance control structure for an exercising apparatus comprises a motor, a drawing member, a control unit, and a sensing element. The control unit controls the motor to generate a resistance and outputs a first instruction to allow an output shaft to rotate by a first present revolution along a first sense of rotation. The drawing member receives an applied force and pulls the output shaft to rotate by a training revolution along the first sense of rotation. The sensing element senses the applied force and gets a sensing result. By the comparison of the applied force with the resistance, the control unit controls the output shaft to rotate by a second preset revolution along a second sense of rotation or release the resistance of the motor, which avoids a problem in an ordinary exercising apparatus that a counterweight may fall freely to injure a user.
Exercise device for strengthening gluteal muscles
An exercise device for strengthening muscles is disclosed, having a continuous belt system that allows a user to move the continuous belt using their feet to exercise muscles of the person while the person lies in front of the continuous belt with their back braced on a resting surface. Such an exercise device allows a user to exercise their gluteus and hamstring muscles while strengthening their pelvic stabilizers. The exercise device could also have a weight device that allows a user to rest a weight on their torso during the exercise to increase the difficulty and effectiveness of the exercise.
Pedal activated lift advantage weight lifting bench apparatus
A pedal activated lift advantage weight lifting bench apparatus that includes a pair of arm assists disposed connected to a pair of strut members disposed laterally adjacent to a weight lifting bench in position appropriate for each arm assist to supportively underlie and contact the dorsal side of each of a user's upper arms, whereby a pedal member, disposed in operational communication with each of a pair of uplift members, effects movement of each of said pair of uplift members between a retracted position and an extended position, to forcibly uplift each arm assist against the dorsal side of each of a user's upper arms and thereby assist a bench press without the need of overhead pulleys or another person standing as spotter.
