ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method for changing barbell weights. The apparatus includes at least one stand having a ramp sloping upwards to a cradle. The cradle is sized to hold a circular barbell weight, and slopes downward from a cradle inner edge to a cradle outer edge. When a barbell is supported in the stand, only an innermost weight at each barbell end rests against the cradle floor; the other weights all depend from the bar and are easily slid off of, and onto, the bar. Thus, when the barbell rests on the stand(s), weights may be quickly and easily changed. After the desired weights have been changed, the barbell is rolled out of the cradle(s), down the ramp(s), and off of the stand(s). Method steps include rolling the barbell onto one or more stands, changing weights as desired, and rolling the barbell off of the stand(s).
