Abstract
The safety barbell weight is a personal training product that would make a free weight workout safer and more effective. The safety barbell weight would consist of a U-shaped collar slideably mounted on a weight. The weight would have a concavity that forms a circular aperture when paired with the collar. The collar would have a groove cut in one leg into which stop pins would be inserted to prevent the weight from coming completely off the bar. The stop pins could take the form of a safety screw and a spring-loaded screw wherein the spring loaded screw would release under the desired load and allow the collar to slide out of the weight. The safety screw would catch on a divider in the groove to prevent the weight from falling off the bar.
