Abstract

A deadlift device includes a cylindrical shaft attached to a base with a selectable weight. Horizontal channels in the shaft have a main horizontal through hole with a downwardly extending keyhole slot extension with beveled edges, so that portions of one or more resistance bands may be routed through the keyhole slots and used with minimal wear. A removable Y-lift bar with right and left hand vertical upper portion and diagonal lower portion which may be attached at any of the channels. An alternative removable short horizontal bar may be inserted at at any of the channels to permit kettlebell swing exercises. The device may be used effectively with a range of lift and walking exercises using the deadlift device with added weights and / or one or more resistance bands.

Description

RELATED APPLICATIONS

[0001] This U.S. non-provisional application is a continuation in part of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 15 / 386,312 filed by applicant on Dec. 21, 2016, which is related to US Provisional Application No. 62 / 383,220 filed by applicant on Sep. 2, 2016, and claims the benefit of that provisional application filing date.BACKGROUND—FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[0002] The current invention relates to an improved weight lifting device, and more particularly to an improved deadlift device and method of use.BACKGROUND—PRIOR ART

[0003] The deadlift is a key exercise in strength and conditioning programs. There are several deadlift variations, classifiable by the type of barbell used; and the technique used (sumo, conventional, stiff-legged, Romanian). The deadlift involves greater upper lumbar erector spinae muscle activity, but less lower lumbar erector spinae muscle activity than the back squat. It involves similar abdominal muscle activity to the back squat, side plank and super...
