ABSTRACT:
A free weight assistance and training device includes a base and a generally upright weight support structure mounted on and extending upwards from and over the base. A free weight support bar is connected to a computer-controlled weight tensioning device which is mounted on the base generally adjacent the upright weight support structure, the connection between the free weight support bar and the computer-controlled weight tensioning device consisting of at least two cables movably mounted on the upright weight support structure. The computer-controlled weight tensioning device, the at least two cables and the free weight support bar operatively cooperate with each other such that tensioning force applied by the computer-controlled weight tensioning device via the at least two cables to the free weight support bar controllably decreases the amount of downwards force exerted by the free weight support bar and weights thereon.
