ABSTRACT:
A device for use by weightlifters for supporting a substantial weight, specifically a barbell, across the shoulders of an individual wherein the majority of the weight is transferred to the individual's hips and legs to avoid any strain on the back. The supporting device comprises a waist or hip belt, tubular support members extending generally vertically from pivotable mounting points at either side of the belt and shaped to curve around the user's back, a transverse channel cradle member with upwardly open U-shaped cross section extending between the upper ends of the support members to form an adjustably shaped frame. The tubular members are adjustable to vary their length and the distance between their lower ends to fit the user.
