Abstract
An exercise assistance device in which an exerciser is positioned upon a support platform resting on a support surface includes a support arrangement and first and second uprights disposed on opposite sides of the support platform. Each upright is pivotally mounted at a lowermost end thereof to the support arrangement at a point beneath the support platform and adjacent the support surface between a rearwardly angled storage position, and a nearly vertical lift off position. The uprights include retaining structure on an upward end thereof for maintaining the weight bar in a substantially horizontal position. When the uprights are moved from the storage position to the lift off position and the weight bar is removed from the retaining structure, the uprights will automatically return to the storage position to permit the exerciser to move the weight bar between the raised and lowered positions without interference of the uprights and retaining structure mounted thereon.
