Upper body workout apparatuses and assembly thereof

Abstract

An upper body workout apparatus assembly comprises two upper body workout apparatuses for each side of a user's body. Each apparatus may have a support bar supported by a plurality of lateral supports. A sliding handle is configured to rotate about each support bar as well as sliding along the length of the support bar. The user may grasp each sliding handle with one of the user's hands to perform push-up, dip, pull-up, abdominal or other exercises, whereby each sliding handle is moved between a distal and proximal position relative to its support bar. One or more anchor mounts secure each apparatus to a wall or ceiling during pull-up type exercise. The apparatuses are positioned adjacent one another as part of the assembly.

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The patent is about a top body workout apparatus that also strengthens and tones other parts of the body. It guides the user's hands and arms while supporting the upper body weight, resulting in consistent motion to reduce the risk of injury. The apparatus has different configurations to allow for various types of workouts. It has sliding handles that move between a distal and a proximal position on the support bars, providing a natural range of motion for the user's hands. The apparatus also has one or more rollers that can lock to prevent movement relative to the floor. Overall, this apparatus offers an effective and safe method for challenging the user's top body.

Problems solved by technology

Though considerable effort and time may be expended during such exercise, the user may not be maximizing the effect of upper body training through use of traditional upper body exercises and equipment.
