Body-Mounted Weight Harness for Compact Glute Training
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing weight training systems for gluteal and hamstring muscles are either large and expensive machines not suitable for home use or poorly designed personal devices that lack practicality and safety.
Innovation Solution
A body-mounted weight exercise system with detachable mounting harnesses for left and right weights, designed as a compact belt with reinforced loops and g-hooks to hold dumbbells or kettlebells, allowing for exercises like squats and hip thrusts, suitable for home use and travel.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If large and expensive machines or barbell equipment are used for weight training, then effective muscle strengthening is achieved, but the device size and cost increase making them unsuitable for home use
Solution Approach 1:
The weight training system is divided into separate components: a body-mounted harness that attaches to weights. This segmentation allows the main training apparatus to be worn on the body while weights are separate, enabling effective gluteal and hamstring training without requiring large fixed machines or expensive barbell equipment suitable for home use
Solution Approach 2:
A body-mounted harness acts as an intermediary between the user's body and the weights. The harness includes attachment mechanisms (D-rings, carabiners, or quick-release buckles) that connect to dumbbells or kettlebells, providing effective weight training while keeping the system compact and portable for home environments
2Volume of moving object
If body-mounted weight exercise devices are used, then device size is reduced for home use, but safety and practicality may be compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The harness is designed with safety as a primary consideration, incorporating secure attachment mechanisms that prevent accidental detachment during exercise. The use of robust connection points (D-rings, carabiners, quick-release buckles) and reinforced stitching in the harness construction provides preemptive safety measures to prevent injury while maintaining compact dimensions for home use
Solution Approach 2:
The body-mounted harness uses simple, replaceable connection components such as carabiners and buckles that can be easily replaced if worn or damaged. This approach maintains safety by allowing quick replacement of potentially compromised parts while keeping the overall device compact and affordable for home use

AI summary
A weight exercise system includes a weight exercise device with an elongated body with left and right mounting harnesses, with inner ends attaching to left and right portions of a top surface of the elongated body and outer ends of the left and right mounting harnesses detachably attaching to a left and right portion of a bottom surface of the elongated body, to form left and right mounting loops that detachably hold corresponding left and right weights, respectively; such that the weight exercise system is configured to be used for a weight exercise with the weight exercise device mounted on a body portion of a user, with the corresponding weights attached to the weight exercise device.
