ABSTRACT:
A weight lifting device is provided which removably snaps to the bar of a barbell and provides a support means for resting the device and essentially all of the weight of the barbell on the trapezius upper back muscles of weight lifters. The device has a laterally extending body that is operable to be placed across the back of a weight lifter, a bar securing means disposed on its top, and a centrally disposed and downwardly extending lobe on the back of the device. The lobe, along its inner surface, is operable to rest essentially the entire weight of the barbell on the trapezius upper back muscles of a weight lifter. The preferred embodiment of the invention includes a lobe having a convexly curved inner surface that is curved to generally mate with the trapezius upper back muscles in the valley between the left and right sides of the muscles.
