Claim 10:
11. A weightlifting system comprising:
a barbell;
a mount operable to mount the weightlifting system;
a locking device comprising a locking face controlled by an electric solenoid, wherein the electric solenoid is configured to cause the locking face to be moved from a closed position to an open position, the locking device further comprising a receiver, the locking device positioned on the mount;
a flexible member that is connected to the barbell, wherein the flexible member extends through the locking device such that when the locking face is in the closed position, a length of the flexible member extending from the locking device is fixed;
a reel assembly positioned on the mount, wherein the reel assembly places constant tension on the flexible member;
a pulley positioned on the mount between the reel assembly and the locking device, wherein the flexible member extends from the reel assembly, around the pulley, and through the locking device;
a first trigger device connected to a first side of the barbell, wherein the first trigger device is operable by a user to send a first signal to the receiver to retract the electric solenoid and move the locking face from the closed position to the open position to unlock the locking device; and
a second trigger device connected to a second side of the barbell that is opposite the first side of the barbell, wherein the second trigger device is operable by the user to send a second signal;
wherein the locking face is moved to the open position upon the receiver receiving the signal from the first trigger device and upon a vertical movement of the barbell, and wherein the movement of the weight allows travel of the flexible member from the locking face when the locking face is in the open position.
