An apparatus to hold and position dumbbells with adjustment through three dimensions (vertical, horizontal and forward and backward) so as to provide an elevated and precisely positioned starting and ending position for the dumbbells used in a dumbbell exercise. The apparatus may be configured as a stand-alone device, an attachment to another piece of equipment (such as a power rack or bench press) or integrated into another piece of exercise equipment such as a lying/incline/seated press apparatus. It enables adjustment of the dumbbell position by the user while the user is positioned for the exercise, as well as prior to assuming the position for the exercise, to provide precise positioning as desired by each individual user. It features a channeling device which guides a user's hands, wrists and arms when returning the dumbbell to the holder.

In several embodiments, an athletic garment is designed to store energy when a weight or load is lowered in order to assist the wearer to subsequently raise the load. In some embodiments, the garment provides seams which are curved in order to twist the garment fabric and thereby store energy therein. In one shirt embodiment, the sleeves extend perpendicularly forward of the torso and then converge toward a centerline of the shirt. In a second shirt embodiment, the sleeves extend perpendicularly forward of the torso for their entire length. In a weight lifter's suit embodiment, the curved seams extends from an armhole of a torso section to a location under the buttocks of the lifter. In another shirt embodiment, the arms extend forwardly of a vertical plane when the wearer is lying on the back in preparation for an arching bench press movement.

A self-spotting safety bench press is composed of an adjustable bench and uprights located on either side of the bench adjacent the lifters upper body. Lifting arms extend from the uprights into the barbell's pathway and have the ability to slide up and down to contact the barbell and decrease the weight exerted on the exerciser. A single hydraulic cylinder in conjunction with a pulley system provides force to each lifting arm, which is depressed below the barbell's path before use. When assistance is needed, the exerciser releases a hydraulic restrictor valve causing the arms to ascend removing a user-determined amount of weight from the barbell. If the total amount of weight is not chosen to be removed the user can continue performing repetitions with machine assistance. A second restrictor valve allows only upward movement should the exerciser fail. A third flow restrictor valve adjusts the rate of arm travel. An air charged hydraulic accumulator provides the hydraulic pressure to the cylinder.

A rotating barbell support rotatably holds a barbell in at least a first position and a second position by rotating the barbell between such positions. A user may lie on a bench and rotate the barbell to his or her lifting sweet spot while the rotating barbell support continues to support the weight of the barbell. The user may then begin one or more bench presses from his or her sweet spot without the need to maneuver the full weight of the barbell or the need for a spotter. The rotating barbell support may have a pair of biased support assemblies, each having a support arm and a post. The support arm may have a weight, spring, or elastic element attached thereto, while the post may have a barbell holder. The posts of the support assemblies may be biased to a backward tilted angle by the weight.
