Benefits of technology

[0010]The device provides instant feedback of the path of the bar of the barbell set, and thus the corresponding body movements of the lifter during the lift. This greatly assists a coach, therapist, or other party assisting the weightlifter, and/or allows the lifter him or herself to visualize and analyze t

Problems solved by technology

Conventionally, the weightlifter and/or his or her coach is unable to observe the precise path of the bar as it is lifted, and can only note errors in

Embodiment Construction

[0019]The recording device for weightlifting enables a weightlifter and / or his or her coach, mentor, or assistant to see the precise path of the bar of the barbell set when the barbells are lifted during a weightlifting exercise. This enables the coach, mentor, or assistant, and the lifter him or herself, to determine any flaws in technique during the lifting exercise and to note or point out corrections for such improper technique, if any. The recording device is also very useful in preventing injury due to improper technique during weightlifting exercises.

[0020]FIG. 1 of the drawings is an environmental perspective view of a first embodiment of the recording device, comprising an elongate holder 10 for a recording implement and a recording panel 12. The recording panel 12 has a flat, planar recording surface 14 oriented generally vertically, the surface 14 being adapted to register or record marks thereon made by a compatible marking device. In the example of FIG. 1, the recording...

Abstract

The recording device for weightlifting is removably attached to one end of the bar of a barbell set and holds a marking or tracing implement (e.g., chalk, whiteboard marker, laser pen, etc.) removably therein. A board (for use with a marking implement) or light recording screen (for use with an optical device) is positioned near the marking or tracing implement, the marking implement being in contact with the board. The weightlifter may then perform lifts while recording the path of the bar on the board or screen by means of the marking or tracing implement. The resulting trace enables the lifter and/or his or her coach, mentor, or assistant to determine accurately the path of the bar during the lift, thereby facilitating the determination of any corrections that might be needed to the form of the weightlifter during lifting exercises.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION[0001]This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 61 / 426,424, filed Dec. 22, 2010.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]1. Field of the Invention[0003]The present invention relates generally to recording devices, and more particularly to a recording device for weightlifting, the device being removably installed upon the end of a barbell or the like and tracing the path of the bar on a board or screen as the barbell is lifted.[0004]2. Description of the Related Art[0005]The art and science of weightlifting has been refined considerably as the activity has become more competitive. While the Olympics are the most visible and perhaps the ultimate challenge for those engaged in the sport, weightlifting enjoys popularity at numerous levels below the Olympics.[0006]As a result, many people who are involved in the sport seek assistance and coaching in order to optimize and refine their efforts. Aside from this optimiza...
