Abstract:
1. A dumbbell workout bench, comprising: a) a first support frame, said first frame being substantially horizontal for engaging the ground, said first frame comprising first and second elongated parallel spaced apart ground engaging members, said first and second members each having first and second opposing ends and a top and bottom surface, said bottom surface engaging the ground; b) a dumbbell receptacle being disposed on said top surface of said first end of said first support frame for receiving at least one dumbbell thereon; c) a first pair of upwardly extending support legs being disposed on said top surface of said second end of said first support frame, wherein one each of said support legs corresponds to one of each of said first and second members of said first support frame, each of said support legs having first and second opposing ends wherein said second end is an upper end and said first end and is attached to said first support frame; d) a pair of vertical stanchions disposed on said top surface of said first support frame adjacent said dumbbell receptacle and between said dumbbell receptacle and said first pair of upwardly extending support legs, wherein one each of said vertical stanchions corresponds to one each of said first and second members of said first support frame, each of said vertical stanchions having first and second opposing ends wherein said second end is an upper end and said first end is attached to said first support frame, wherein said pair of vertical stanchions are tubular; e) a pair of weight stanchions each having first and second opposing ends, wherein said first end of one said weight stanchions is slidably disposed in said upper end of each said tubular vertical stanchions, a weight rest being disposed on said second end of said weight stanchion; f) a second support frame being hingedly disposed on said upper end of said first pair of support legs, said second frame being substantially horizontal for supporting a user, said second frame having first and second opposing ends having a central hinge in the middle of said first and second opposing ends forming forward and rearward portions thereof, the forward portion extending between the central hinge and said first opposing end thereof and the rearward portion extending between the central hinge and the second opposing end thereof wherein said first and second opposing ends each extend away from said middle, said second frame having top and bottom surfaces, wherein said first opposing end of said second support frame is disposed adjacent said vertical stanchions between said vertical stanchions and said first pair of upwardly extending support legs so that arms of a user can reach the upper end of each vertical stanchion, wherein said second opposing end of said second support frame is disposed away from said first pair of upwardly extending support legs so that legs of a user extend away from the vertical stanchions, said first opposing end of said second support frame resting on said ground when a first folding, downwardly extending support leg is folded up against said bottom surface of said second support frame; g) a second folding, downwardly extending support leg disposed on said bottom surface of the second opposing end of said second support frame, said second leg of said second support frame having first and second opposing ends wherein said first opposing end thereof is hingedly connected to said second support frame and said second opposing end thereof engages the ground to permit the second support frame to be supported and to permit the second end of the second support frame to be folded down to the ground when said second support leg is in a folded position, said first end of said second support frame when on the ground is between said first and second elongated parallel spaced apart ground engaging members; h) a cushion for supporting a user being disposed on said top surface of said second support frame; i) said cushion comprising first and second cushions having first and second opposing ends wherein said second ends of said cushions are oriented toward said middle of said second support frame, wherein the first and second cushions are disposed on each of said forward and rearward portions respectively of said second support frame wherein the first cushion on said forward portion of said second support frame is tilted down from said central hinge when said folding, downwardly extending support leg on the first end of said second support frame is folded up against the bottom surface of said second support frame; and j) means for incrementally tilting said first cushion from a horizontal position to a vertical position up from the second end of said second support frame.
