A weight arm assembly for use with a weight lifting rack is provided, the weight arm assembly including a mounting bracket configured to be attached to a vertical surface in a fixed position, an arm mount configured to be coupled to the mounting bracket so as to be pivotable about a first axis, a stop member coupled to the arm mount and configured to move between an engaged position to prevent pivoting of the arm mount through interaction with the mounting bracket, and a disengaged position to allow pivoting of the arm mount, and a weight arm configured to be coupled to the arm mount, proximate a first end of the weight arm, so as to be pivotable about a second axis substantially orthogonal to the first axis.

A sports training device includes a stand, pivot axis, elements for a person training to apply force, and load device for creating an adjustable load. The load device includes weights and a U-shaped guide acting to protect against unauthorized removal of the weights, one end of which guide is connected via a bracket to the pivot axis, which is secured to the stand. The pivot plane of the load device is directed perpendicular or parallel or at an angle to a support surface. The center of mass of the load device is shifted, in the presence of even a minimal load, left or right from the pivot axis or coincides with the pivot axis. The elements for a person training to apply force are installed, relative to the load device, at a given height from the support surface in accordance with the direction of force from the person training and in accordance with the group of muscles receiving the load.

A weight arm assembly for use with a weight lifting rack is provided, the weight arm assembly including a mounting bracket configured to be attached to a vertical surface in a fixed position, an arm mount configured to be coupled to the mounting bracket so as to be pivotable about a first axis, a stop member coupled to the arm mount and configured to move between an engaged position to prevent pivoting of the arm mount through interaction with the mounting bracket, and a disengaged position to allow pivoting of the arm mount, and a weight arm configured to be coupled to the arm mount, proximate a first end of the weight arm, so as to be pivotable about a second axis substantially orthogonal to the first axis.

The invention relates to an exercise apparatus 10. The exercise apparatus 10 comprises a first upstanding support. The exercise apparatus also comprises a pair of arms. Each arm has a first end and a second end. Each arm, towards its first end, is pivotably connected to the first support at a point which is spaced from the floor. Each arm comprises a second end remote from the first end which connects to the first support. Each arm has a handle, to enable manual lifting of the arms. Each arm comprises a mass arranged thereon. The position of the mass is movable along the arm.

The present invention relates to a gymnastic machine (M) for carrying out strength exercises by a user comprising a support frame (1), at least one arm (2), movable with respect to said support frame (1), to carry out a gymnastic exercise by said user, wherein said at least one arm (2) comprises a first end (21), rotatably coupled with said support frame (1), and wherein on said at least one arm (2) a plurality of weights (7) can be removably applied, at least one detecting system (S) for detecting the displacement of said at least one arm (2) with respect to said support frame (1), comprising at least one magnetic element (12), at least one magnetic sensor (11), for detecting the magnetic field generated by said magnetic element (12), capable of generating an electric signal related to said detected magnetic field, and a control logic unit (13), operatively connected to said magnetic sensor (11), for acquiring and processing said electric signal related to said detected magnetic field. The present invention also relates to a system (S) applicable to said exercise machine (M). The present invention also relates to a method of operation of said exercise machine (M).

An exercise machine that enables a user to exercise extensor and flexor muscles. The exercise machine includes a base with a rolling cylinder configured to roll from a front end of the base to a rear end of the base. The exercise machine further includes a slant board resting on the rolling cylinder.

A resistance component configured for imparting a resistive force to a connected exercise component is provided. The device includes a frame pivotally supporting a selection arm which has a weight operatively connected to the selection arm by a pin arm. The weight imparts a force resisting rotation of the selection arm by a flexible member engaged with the exercise component. Adjusting the engagement of one end of the pin arm to an arched engagement path along the selection arm adjusts mechanical advantage and the resistive force.

Apparatus, systems, and methods for executing a tire flip weight lifting exercise. The disclosed apparatus includes a chassis and a tire assembly that is lifted and flipped during the exercise. The tire assembly includes a support bar that extends through a tire. The tire assembly also includes bearing assemblies that engage arms of a torsion bar that is pivotable with respect to the chassis to provide for safe and controlled movement of the tire assembly during the lifting exercise. When the lift is completed, rollers engage the tire assembly so that the tire assembly can roll back to the starting position at least in part due to the force of gravity.

The invention concerns an arrangement for adjusting load in training equipment. The arrangement comprises a load unit, an elongated guideway along which the load unit is arranged to move, a locking device with which the load unit is secured into a position corresponding the desired load of the training equipment, and a connector with which the guideway is pivotally connected to the training equipment via a fulcrum. The guideway is connected both to the moving arm and to a frame of the training equipment via the fulcrum. The invention further concerns a method for adjusting load in training equipment.

A weight arm assembly for use with a weight lifting rack is provided, the weight arm assembly including a mounting bracket configured to be attached to a vertical surface in a fixed position, an arm mount configured to be coupled to the mounting bracket so as to be pivotable about a first axis, a stop member coupled to the arm mount and configured to move between an engaged position to prevent pivoting of the arm mount through interaction with the mounting bracket, and a disengaged position to allow pivoting of the arm mount, and a weight arm configured to be coupled to the arm mount, proximate a first end of the weight arm, so as to be pivotable about a second axis substantially orthogonal to the first axis.
