A weight plate securing strap having a stretchable strip with a first end, a second opposite end, a first side, a post on the first end, and a plurality of apertures near the second opposite end. A first gripping flap is positioned at the first end and a second gripping flap is positioned at the second opposite end. The gripping flaps are also positioned on the first side. The gripping flaps are constructed so that fingers and thumbs of a user remain on the first side of the strip as the user grips the gripping flaps, stretches the strip around the barbell, and inserts the post into the aperture. The use of the gripping flaps thereby prevents the fingers and thumbs of the user from interfering with the insertion of the post through the aperture. The strip wound and stretched around the barbell creates high resistance to movement of the strip along the length of the barbell. The strip can be made in one piece and entirely of rubber.

Example travel exercise equipment includes a barbell including a first end portion and a second end portion and a pair of yokes. Each yoke includes a base and a pair spaced-apart yoke arms extending from the base. The bases being adapted to be coupled to a corresponding end portion of the barbell. The travel exercise equipment includes a pair of containers having handles adapted to be carried by a corresponding yoke.

An adjustable barbell system may include a base, two or more weights, a handle assembly, an additional weight, and selection assembly. The two or more weights may be supported by the base and grouped into a first set of weights associated with one end of the barbell system and a second set of weights associated with an opposing end of the barbell system. The handle assembly may be selectively fixedly joined to the first and second set of weights. The additional weight may be disposed distally of the handle assembly. The selection assembly may be secured to the additional weight. The selection assembly may include a selection member that may be linearly moveable between a selected position where the additional weight is operatively secured to the handle assembly and an unselected position where the additional weight is disengaged from the handle assembly.

A free-weight lifting and support system used by a weightlifter. The system includes a left side support and a left free-weight holder. It also includes a right side support and a right free-weight holder. It further includes a lifting bar, the lifting bar located between the left and right side supports and separating the left and right side supports from each other, and the lifting bar is vertically adjustable relative to the left and right side supports at the same time. The left side support is connected with the right side support via at least the lifting bar such that the lifting bar, the left side support and the right side support are together simultaneously liftable from a ground position to a lifted position by the weightlifter and safely back to the ground position by the weightlifter.

An exercise apparatus for a person to exercise on a support surface includes two side frames that each include a base member, and a front member and a rear member each pivotally attached to the base member. Each side frame is aligned and mutually fixed together at a rear support member joining the rear members and at a front support member joining the front members. Two barbell support members each have a hook at an upper end thereof for supporting a barbell, and are fixed upright on the base members. The exercise apparatus can be configured into a collapsed configuration, circular weights of the barbell acting as wheels while the person grasps and lifts the front sides of the base members. As such the person is able to wheel the exercise apparatus along the support surface. The exercise apparatus may then be reconfigured into an expanded configuration for use.

A personal exercise system including an exercise bar having opposing end portions, a grip portion intermediate to the end portions wherein the grip portion is w-shaped, and an elongate resistance band removably secured to at least one of the end portions. Each end portion of the exercise bar includes a loop for accepting a fastener at the end of the elongate resistance band. The loop is operable to pivot about the longitudinal axis of the exercise bar. The system further includes at least one support member each having a groove for receiving an end portion of the exercise bar.

An Internet of Thing (IoT) sport device includes a body with a processor, a camera and a wireless transceiver coupled to the processor.

An isokinetic oscillation exercise device of an elongated flexible blade having a first and second end and a grip portion coupled to a middle portion of the elongated flexible blade. End caps coupled to said first and second ends adapted to storage. Further, a method is disclosed of manufacturing an isokinetic oscillation exercise device that provides a flexible elongated flexible blade, a grip portion injection molding, a pliable ring injection moldings, and end caps injection molding; slides the pliable rings on the elongated flexible blade separated by a length of the grip portion, overmolds a first-shot of the grip portion over the pliable rings, overmolds a second-shot of the grip portion to the first-shot of the grip portion to the elongated flexible blade, seals the first-shot to the second-shot of the grip portion against the pliable rings; and attaches the end caps to the elongated flexible blade.

An exercise weight support device includes: a spool connected to a belt to suspend the device, the spool being rotatable to enable more or less of the belt to be wound therearound to change the device vertical position of the device; a ratchet wheel drivingly coupled to the spool to control rotation thereof; an outer frame having a cradle and/or a pair of hooks to support a bar of a free weight; a ratchet pawl connected to the outer frame at a fixed location relative thereto; and a trigger handle coupled to the spool to move the spool relative to the ratchet pawl between a non-operating position of the trigger handle causing the ratchet pawl and teeth of the ratchet wheel to engage, and an operating position of the trigger handle causing the ratchet pawl and the teeth of the ratchet wheel to disengage to control rotation of the spool.

An adjustable weight lifting device (21) includes a tube (31), a pin (33) movably disposed inside the tube (31), the pin (33) comprising an external thread (35), and one or more driving knobs (51) extending radially inward relative to an inner wall of the tube (31) and engaging with the external thread. The external thread comprises at least one portion having a first helix angle and at least one portion having a second helix angle, the second helix angle being smaller than the first helix angle.
