ABSTRACT:
A pulleyless weightlifting apparatus including a pair of bases, a pair of counterweights, a pair of stop pins, a pair of cables and a pair of vertical tubular posts. Each vertical tubular post is bent into a "U" shape at its upper end and its lower end is attached to the respective upper ends of the pair of bases. Each of the counterweights are connected to one end of the respective pair of cables and are then inserted into the channels of the respective vertical tubular posts. The opposite cable ends are attached to connectors which are connected to a dumbbell cable harness or attachments on a barbell. The vertical tubular posts include a series of apertures to receive stop pins for providing a range of height adjustment for the counterweights which allow the weightbearing bar to be suspended at any desired elevated position. The upper "U" shape ends of the vertical tubular posts allow the cables to be moved in an ascending and descending direction without the use of pulleys. This weightlifting apparatus allows unrestricted movement of a weightbearing bar and provides safety to the user not available with other free weight systems.
