Abstract
A weightlifting apparatus having free weight simulation and a safety mechanism includes at least one upright support having a bar engaging pulley assembly and a weight engaging pulley assembly. The upright support includes a universal joint for allowing the upright support to pivot. A lifting bar having an end movably coupled to the bar engaging pulley assembly is also included. The lifting bar includes a grip portion having switch contact disposed therein that is engaged when the grip portion is depressed. A clutch assembly is provided for enabling the bar engaging pulley assembly and weight engaging pulley assembly to move together in unison when a voltage is supplied by engaging the grip portion. Disengagement of the grip portion opens the switch contact and causes voltage to be cut off from the clutch assembly, thereby disengaging the weight support element and the lifting bar.
