ABSTRACT:
An emergency accessory for use by a lifter in extrication from under the bar of a barbell which he or she is bench pressing and, due to injury, fatigue or inconsequence of excessive optimism cannot, without assistance, raise to deliver to the cradle of the bench press stand. The accessory includes a bent sheet metal weight-distribution ramp having a broad upper panel integrally joined at an obtuse-angle transverse bend, to a tapering lower panel which terminates in a padded support pedestal for engagement of the bench press stand between the lifter's legs. In use, the lifter lowers the bar to rest on the main panel, rolls or slides the bar to the bend (which is juxtaposed upon near the lifter's waist), causing the ramp to rotate about the bend, until its support pedestal centrally engages the upper surface of the stand, then sit up. The barbell's weight thereby having been transferred largely to the stand, the lifter is free to escape rearwards towards the head of the bench press stand.
