Abstract
A weightlifting apparatus for suspending weightlifting bars at a pre-selected height for the performance of a selected exercise. After the user completes the exercise the weightbearing bar remains suspended at the pre-selected height and allows the user to repeat the exercise by once again lifting the weightbearing bar. A series of holes in the vertical uprights provide a range of adjustment for setting slider assemblies to a pre-selected height. Cable support systems are used to suspend the weightbearing bar at a pre-selected height by attaching one of their ends to connectors attached to the weightbearing bar and their other ends are passed over a pulley system and then are attached to stop weights or slider assemblies. This support system will allow unrestricted movement of the weightbearing bar in any direction as in standard free weight systems and yet provide safety to the user not available with standard free weight systems.
