Embodiment Construction

[0009]Referring to the FIGURE, a bench press apparatus 10 is preferably constructed from steel. The bench press apparatus 10 includes a horizontal bench 12, typically with a pad 14 thereon. The bench 12 is maintained off the floor by a set of legs 16. The bench includes a pair of first vertical uprights 18. Supported by each of the first vertical uprights 18 is an angled support 20.

A set of weights 24, typically arranged as cylindrical disks, are selectively added to the ends of the bar 22. In this manner, the person may select the desired amount of weight to lift during the exercise.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]Not applicable.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]The invention generally relates to exercise equipment, and more particularly, to an exercise apparatus for use during a resistance exercise, such as the bench press, squat, and curl exercises.[0003]When bench pressing, a person lies on his back which is pressed against a bench, while his feet are on the floor. With two spaced apart hands grasping a horizontal bar, optionally supporting weights proximate the ends thereof, the person raises and lowers the bar over his chest. The counterbalanced weights at the end thereof are typically changeable weights which may provide a combined weight of several hundred pounds. At the end of the exercise, the person elevates the bar one last time to place it on support members provided on a frame that extends vertically with respect to the bench.[0004]In some cases, the person is unable to raise the bar the last time to place it on the support members. In ...
