Abstract

An automatic rack for barbells is disclosed. The rack includes a pivotal standard that is tiltable to hold a barbell in lifting position; and, when the barbell is removed, a weight biases the standard to pivot to an out-of-the-way storage position. The rack can be provided with a base so the rack will be free standing, or the rack can be fixed to a press bench or the like.
