A motorized lifting rack that selectively lifts and lowers a barbell through linear actuators is provided. The powered lifting rack can engage a barbell at floor level. The linear actuators can also selectively raise and lower safety bars design to “spot” the barbell for a single user. The powered lifting rack is embodied in a system that includes a platform that the safety bars can nest in. The platform provides a plurality of actuating benches for a user of the barbell to utilize.

A support assembly and exercise system provides safe and unconstrained movement of free weights within a movement zone encompassing normal travel of the free weights during exercise. The system allows safe user engagement and disengagement with the free weights while continually tethered against uncontrolled and possibly harmful movement. The support assembly is defined by a generally free-standing frame with rigid uprights for supporting takeoff and landing zones for the free weights, as well as tether attachments for movably supporting the free weights through the movement zone. A support member has a pivotal attachment to the upright frame for suspending the free weights against an uncontrolled release or fall. Launch and landing platforms attach to the upright frame for ideal positioning of the free weights prior to and following a usage session (workout).

An adjustable carriage assembly is configured to be mounted on a frame member of a weight rack and includes a locking structure for locking the carriage assembly in place on the frame member. The carriage assembly may include a moveable carriage with a plurality of rollers that engage the frame member, as well as one or more handles for gripping to adjust the position of the carriage assembly and a connection structure for connection of an implement or accessory. Various implements and accessories can be connected to or used in connection with the carriage assembly, including various weightlifting implements and accessories that are pivotably connected to the carriage assembly.

Cable and power rack exercise machine. An exercise machine may include a frame, a resistance mechanism supported by the frame, a first pull cable and a second pull cable supported by the frame and linked to the resistance mechanism, and a power rack attached to the frame. The power rack may include a first upright post configured to have a first barbell holder adjustably attached thereto and a second upright post configured to have a second barbell holder adjustably attached thereto. The first barbell holder may be adjusted in various positions between a first highest position and a first lowest position on the first upright post. The second barbell holder may also be adjusted in various positions between a second highest position and a second lowest position on the second upright post.

A rackable receptacle dispenser system has a racking body and a wrap coupled to the racking body. The racking body has a rear wall having a front face and a rear face, a bottom wall extending orthogonally in a front direction from the front face, and means for detachably coupling the racking body to a rack support. The bottom wall defines an aperture. The wrap comprises a wall that extends orthogonally upward from the bottom wall, and that defines an interior compartment. The system includes a container comprising a body and a dispensing aperture. The container is configured to hold a liquid and to dispense the liquid through the dispensing aperture. The system is configured to hold the container in the interior compartment with the dispensing aperture extending through the aperture defined in the bottom wall.

An apparatus having a first sliding member having an outer wall surface and an inner wall surface defining a central opening. A second sliding member having an outer wall surface and that is configured for sliding insertion into the central opening of the first sliding member. A space is formed between first and second sliding members. The first sliding member slides and may be fixed at a selected location along the length of the second sliding member. The apparatus includes a slider insert having a center section and a pair of lips that engage the first sliding member for removably mounting the slider insert to the first sliding member such that the slider insert is located in the space between the first sliding member and the second sliding member. The slider insert slides with the first sliding member and prevents the first and second sliding members from contacting on another.

Various implementations include a spotting device for supporting a barbell, the spotting device including a base and an arm. The base has a base body with first end and a second end, at least one foot coupled to the second end of the base body, and a base longitudinal axis. The arm has an arm body with a first end and a second end, a coupler coupled to the first end of the arm body, and an arm longitudinal axis. The coupler is couplable to a portion of a barbell. One of the first end of the base body and the second end of the arm body defines a body opening extending partially through the one of the base body or the arm body, and the other of the second end of the arm body and the first end of the base body is slidably disposed within the body opening.

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.

A power rack apparatus is provided for spotting weights. The power rack apparatus allows a user to lift weights to failure without the need of a human spotter. The power rack apparatus includes a power rack frame, a weight-catching system, and a controller. The power rack frame is a standard structural frame of a power rack that allows a user to rack weights after he or she has completed a weightlifting workout. The weight-catching system spots weights for the user using at least one chain drive mechanism, a first racking arm, and a second racking arm. Through the weight-catching system, the user is allowed to lift weights to failure and is spotted by weight-catching system when necessary. The controller manages and controls the weight-catching system in order for the weight-catching system to effectively spot weights for the user.
