AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention is an exercise training device that helps bench press training by providing assistance, rather than resistance, to the user's arms. The device uses elastic components to bring the arms together, which helps in lifting the weight. This assistance helps build muscle and improve muscle memory by training the person's muscles to lift heavier weights than the body is used to.

Problems solved by technology

The user counteracts this force through use of the chest muscles, thereby resulting in chest muscle development.

Embodiment Construction

[0026]Referring now to FIG. 1 an exercise training apparatus 10 comprises, in a basic form, five major components: two sets of straps 14, 16 and 18, two braces 20, and an elastic component 12. Now referring to FIGS. 2-4, the upper arm strap 14 is preferably adjustable to allow easy fitting to the upper arm and for adjustment to be worn anywhere on the upper arm between the elbow joint and the shoulder joint. Once positioned and secured on the arm, the strap 14 is pulled snug to the arm to hold the position during the exercise. The forearm strap 16 may be of fixed length as shown, or may of variable length. In one embodiment, a coupling strap 18 may be attached to the brace 20, and the upper arm strap 14 and the forearm strap 16 may be attached to the coupling strap 18. The straps may be affixed to the elastic component in conjunction with different styles of braces and different methods of attachment. Examples of such configurations are illustrated in FIGS. 1-7, and other suitable c...

Abstract

An exercise apparatus primarily used as a training device for bench press type exercises. The apparatus comprises a series of arm straps having an elastic component disposed therebetween. The arm straps include a pair of upper arm straps and a pair of forearm straps, which are attached together with an elastic material creating an assisting force between the 2 elbows and arms. The apparatus is designed to be used in front of the upper body chest area to provide stabilization of the arms, as well providing assistance in pulling the elbows together, straightening the arms, and lifting the weighted barbell away from the chest.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0001]The present invention includes an apparatus to provide training, stability, and control to increase the body's ability to lift more weight during bench press type exercises than the body can lift without the apparatus. Results are achieved quicker by allowing the body to acquire proper muscle memory and focus on the proper muscles. Without the apparatus the body naturally tries to accommodate for the weaker muscles by shifting positions which increase the risk of injury.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002]Bench press weight lifting has long been a measure of how strong an individual is. How much weight an individual can bench press, is commonly asked around gyms, athletic locker rooms, as well as amongst friends in a casual atmosphere. The pursuit to increase this number has caused people to take supplements, along with any other perceived method that may accomplish this goal.[0003]Many types of devices have been developed to assist in building upper body ...
