ABSTRACT:
A weight lifting apparatus is shown to enable the user to perform power squat lifts to develop leg strength throughout the hips, thighs, and calf leg muscles, while at the same time eliminating back injuries to the user. The user is provided with a waist harness having front and rear straps suspended from a heavy belt down between the legs of the user. The belt has interior padding that extends above the top edge and below the bottom edge of the belt. The harness is connected to a weight holder by an adjustable chain so that all of the weight is carried by the lower half of the body. The weights remain below the user's body, and the center of gravity of the weights remains below the user's center of gravity. This apparatus is formed as an elevated rack having a pair of elongated platforms separated by a well section. The user straddles the platforms and the weights remain within the well section. Steps are formed at one end of the platform serving as an entrance at the rear of the apparatus for mounting and dismounting the rack. There is a weight holder having a base with a vertical post for supporting a variety of different weights. Three sides of the rack are provided with a hand rail, where the front rail is grasped by the user while the power squats are being performed.
