Benefits of technology

[0005] Thus, it is an object of the present invention to provide an apparatus for assisting in adding a rotational element to the traditional front / back (or flexion and extension) activities during the lifting of weights.

Problems solved by technology

However, those wishing to increase their ability to enact full range movement while receiving the benefit of muscle resistance exercising will not have their needs be met.
Unfortunately this unidirectional resistive movement is limited in muscle development.
Muscles do not develop in a natural looking manner and athletes or those wishing to exercise for a particular combination movement such as pitching a baseball which uses torsion and twisting movements as well as forward and back will not have their needs be met.

Embodiment Construction

[0030] The following description is of the best presently contemplated mode of carrying out the present invention. This description is not to be taker in a limiting sense but is made merely for the purpose of describing the general principles of the invention. The scope of the invention should be determined by referencing the appended claims. Nevertheless, taken as a whole, this invention is a direction converter which will convert directional movement and resistance exercise movement and the associated muscular strengthening benefits from stationary, unidirectional or single planar directed exercise activities to those of a rotational direction. Equipment used can be stationary apparatus such as a pullup or pushup bar, weight bench apparatus using straps, cables and bow technology or other flexible resist methods such as cables and wires and pulley systems used in a variety of weight training apparatuses. This invention can be manufactured in two forms, either as a free standing at...

Abstract

Disclosed is a weight lifting apparatus having mechanism for assisting in adding a rotational element to the traditional front/back (or flexion and extension) activities during the lifting of weights or other athletic resistance activitiesl. This invention to provides an attachment apparatus that provides a weight holding means that is able to offer 360 degrees of smooth movement which allows complete rotational positionability for use with any stationary or moving resistive weight apparatus. This invention also provids an apparatus wherein the weight holding means also provides a safety measure which can limit the speed of rotation or even stop this motion in the event that the weight is dropped or rotational exertion limits are reached.

Description

RELATED APPLICATIONS [0001] N / A FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0002] The present invention relates to the field of exercise technology. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0003] Most all exercise equipment focus on movement in a particular direction so as to strengthen muscles by repetitive exertion use. While there are a number of apparatus which allow for a range of motion, still the common focus is on limiting and resisting muscle movement. However, those wishing to increase their ability to enact full range movement while receiving the benefit of muscle resistance exercising will not have their needs be met. There is a real need to be able to offer safe and easy to use exercise equipment that allows for a complete range of movement while offering the traditional weight machine, free weights and any other method which typically offers unidirectional movement, or even movement with a range of motion such as the bow flex equipment or those using band / elastic bands etc. Even non-movable devices s...
