Abstract
A multi-functional, adjustable, weight lifting and exercise apparatus, is described. The weight lifting apparatus allows a user to configure the apparatus among a plurality of different positions, so that a full range of user support platform incline, as well as, adjustable decline positions, is also obtainable, while allowing at the same time unobstructed user access to barbell weights, which are supported on an adjustable weight support structure, located at the head end of the apparatus. The apparatus is also fully adjustble, so that barbell weights supported on the barbell weight support structure, can be readily accessed and lifted properly in numerous specific exercises. The platform decline position, allowing the performance of the decline barbell benchpress, with proper user access to the weights, supported on the weight support structure, is accomplished by the coordination of the movements of a fully adjustable, horizontally slidable, user support platform structure, a unique support platform hinge mechanism, as well as the fully adjustable and removable back height position bar.
