Abstract:
1. An apparatus comprising a rigid frame structure; a first device for holding a first end of a first weightlifting bar; wherein the first device includes a first flexible device and a first retainer device; wherein the first flexible device has a first end and an opposite second end; wherein the first retainer device is attached to the first flexible device at a location which is at the second end of the first flexible device or which is between the first end of the first flexible device and the second end of the first flexible device; wherein the first flexible device can be removably attached to the rigid frame structure at the first end of the first flexible device or at any one of a plurality of locations between the first end of the first flexible device and the second end of the first flexible device; a second device for holding a second end of the first weightlifting bar, opposite the first end of the first weightlifting bar; wherein the second device includes a second flexible device and a second retainer device; wherein the second flexible device has a first end and an opposite second end; wherein the second retainer device is attached to the second flexible device at a location which is at the second end of the second flexible device or which is between the first end of the second flexible device and the second end of the second flexible device; and wherein the second flexible device can be removably attached to the rigid frame structure at the first end of the second flexible device or at any one of a plurality of locations between the first end of the second flexible device and the second end of the second flexible device; and the apparatus further comprising a third device for holding a first end of a second weightlifting bar; wherein the third device includes a third flexible device and a third retainer device; wherein the third flexible device has a first end and an opposite second end; wherein the third retainer device is attached to the third flexible device at a location which is at the second end of the third flexible device or which is between the first end of the third flexible device and the second end of the third flexible device; wherein the third flexible device can be removably attached to the rigid frame structure at the first end of the third flexible device or at any one of a plurality of locations between the first end of the third flexible device and the second end of the third flexible device; a fourth device for holding a second end of the second weightlifting bar, opposite the first end of the second weightlifting bar; wherein the fourth device includes a fourth flexible device and a fourth retainer device; wherein the fourth flexible device has a first end and an opposite second end; wherein the fourth retainer device is attached to the fourth flexible device at a location which is at the second end of the fourth flexible device or which is between the first end of the fourth flexible device and the second end of the fourth flexible device; and wherein the fourth flexible device can be removably attached to the rigid frame structure at the first end of the fourth flexible device or at any one of a plurality of locations between the first end of the fourth flexible device and the second end of the fourth flexible device wherein the rigid frame structure has a top structure having a length which is adjustable; wherein the top structure includes a first inner rigid beam which telescopes inside of a first outer rigid beam, and a second inner rigid beam which telescopes inside of a second outer rigid beam; wherein the telescoping of the first inner rigid beam within the first outer rigid beam together with the telescoping of the second inner rigid beam within the second outer rigid beam adjusts the length of the top structure; and and further comprising a first means for preventing the first inner rigid beam from falling out of the first outer rigid beam, and a second means for preventing the second inner rigid beam from falling out of the second outer rigid beam; wherein the first flexible device and the second flexible device are configured to be removably attached to the first inner rigid beam of the rigid frame structure; and wherein the third flexible device and the fourth flexible device are configured to be removably attached to the second inner rigid beam of the rigid frame structure.
