Abstract
A barbell assist device which is characterized by a frame fitted with a horizontal housing for enclosing a motor-driven yoke assembly which is provided with cables that extend around sheaves and downwardly from each end of the housing to support a barbell over a weight bench. A kick plate is located in close proximity to the weight bench and is wired into the motor through electronic circuity which facilitates raising and lowering the barbell responsive to contacting the kick plate. The barbell assist device is useful in 'spotting' a barbell containing free weights and in performing weight lifting repetitions and negative stress exercises.
