Patent ID: 11077332

Abstract:
There is disclosed a fitness weight support that can be removably connected with weightlifting rack to allow a lifter to position free weights such as dumbbells before, between, and after sets of a weight-lifting exercise. The support includes one or more platforms adapted to support the weights. The platform is connected with a support member. Two engaging bars are connected with the support member and extend outward from the platform. The bars are adapted to removably engage with support fixtures, such as j-hooks, connected with the rack. A rotation stop extends from at least one of the engaging bars. When the engaging bars are engaged with the j-hooks, the rotation stop contacts a vertical stanchion of the rack to prevent rotation of the bar and to hold the platform substantially horizontal. By adjusting the j-hooks to a selected height on the rack, dumbbells can be supported on the platform at the proper height for the lifter to perform the exercise and for the lifter to rest the dumbbells between sets.
