Patent ID: 7727089

Claim:
A weight sled apparatus useful for strength training and simulating the resistance of an opponent during a blocking event comprises: (A) a pair of nonlinear runners of tubular construction arranged in parallel relative to a center axis and a plane; (B) weight bearing member affixed to and extending between the pair of nonlinear runners near mid-sections thereof (C) a head crossbar of tubular construction extending between first ends of the runners and joined thereto so as to form a continuous tubular U-shaped member with the runners; (D) a rear crossbar of tubular construction extending between and disposed above the plane of said runners proximate second ends thereof and joined thereto and opposite the head crossbar so as to present a rearward facing surface against which force may be applied and configured to enable a user to drive the weight sled forward while approximating a bear crawl; (E) an attachment mechanism shaped to removably receive in a complementary mating manner a handle bar device proximate to the second end of the runners; and wherein the attachment mechanism comprises a pair of posts sized to be received within at least one tubular end of the handlebar device; and wherein the pair of posts are disposed on the rear crossbar.
