Abstract: A pedal activated lift advantage weight lifting bench apparatus that includes a pair of arm assists disposed connected to a pair of strut members disposed laterally adjacent to a weight lifting bench in position appropriate for each arm assist to supportively underlie and contact the dorsal side of each of a user's upper arms, whereby a pedal member, disposed in operational communication with each of a pair of uplift members, effects movement of each of said pair of uplift members between a retracted position and an extended position, to forcibly uplift each arm assist against the dorsal side of each of a user's upper arms and thereby assist a bench press without the need of overhead pulleys or another person standing as spotter.

Abstract: A vehicle console covering apparatus for placement on a conventional vehicle center console comprises a top comfort layer disposed on top of non-slip layer and connected around its longitudinal edges to a lower attachment layer, thereby forming a slip cover with an open front end and an open back end and an enclosure between the combined comfort layer and non-slip layer and the attachment layer. The vehicle console covering apparatus is slipped in place on a conventional center console by opening a hinged top of the center console and inserting the hinged top into the open back end until the hinged top is completely enclosed into the vehicle console covering apparatus. The attachment later includes elastic strips on its ends that are not connected to the comfort layer, enabling the vehicle console covering apparatus to stretch open and then contract tightly around the hinged top of the center console.

Abstract: A lift assist weight lifting bench that includes a pair of arm assists disposed connected to a pair of strut member laterally projected from a weight lifting bench proper, in position appropriate for each arm assist to supportively underlie and contact the dorsal side of each of a user's upper arms, whereby a spring member, disposed compressibly connected between each arm assist and each strut member, compresses when each arm assist is moved to a lowered position, by action of a user lowering a weight, each spring member then decompressing when each arm assist is moved to a raised position when said user raises the weight, whereby elastic force exerted by said spring members engages each arm assist to the dorsal side of each of a user's upper arms and thereby assists in lifting the weight without the use of pulleys or another person standing as spotter.
