Patent ID: 7972224

Claim:
A weight sled apparatus useful for strength training and simulating the resistance of an opponent during a blocking event comprises: a pair of nonlinear runners of tubular construction arranged in parallel relative to a center axis and a plane; a weight bearing member affixed to and extending between the pair of nonlinear runners near mid-sections thereof; 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; a rear crossbar of tubular construction extending between and disposed above the plane of said runners proximate second ends thereof and joined thereto opposite the head crossbar so as to present a rearward facing surface against which force may be applied; and an attachment mechanism shaped to removably receive in a complementary mating manner a handlebar device, wherein the attachment mechanism includes a pair of posts disposed on the second ends of the runners.
