AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention is a system that allows users to lift weights while reducing pressure on their shoulders and providing extra safety support. It consists of a support base with two sides that create the exercise area. There are also two guide rails that pivot to the base and are designed to hold a barbell that can slide up and down.

Problems solved by technology

A user could potentially injury themselves by lifting too much weight or accidentally dropping weight on a body part.
Many people, however, do not always have spotters available.
A major restriction of the Smith machine is lifting the barbell in the limiting vertical up and down motion.
This limitation can also result on excessive shoulder joint strain during exercise.

Abstract

The present invention relates to a free weight simulating, weightlifting system configured to allow the user to lift weights in a full range of motion while reducing shoulder joint pressure and having additional support safety. The system has a support base, sides that define the exercise area and guide rails that pivotally attach to the support base and barbell.

Description

BACKGROUND[0001]The embodiments herein relate generally to weightlifting machines. More specifically, embodiments of the invention are directed to a free weight simulating weightlifting system that allows the user to lift weights in a full range of motion with additional safety support while reducing shoulder joint pressure.[0002]The population has become more aware of the health benefits of exercise and personal fitness. People make going to the gym, fitness club or having a home gym an element of their physical fitness and supplement this physical fitness with lifting weights. A concern regarding the practice of weight lifting has been having a spotter present during the lifting. A user could potentially injury themselves by lifting too much weight or accidentally dropping weight on a body part. The spotter's purpose is to help the user finish lifting or remove the weight should the user not complete the exercise. Many people, however, do not always have spotters available.[0003]T...
