  • Patent number: 9889330
    Abstract: A deadlift bar includes a rectangular frame formed by front, rear, left, and right members. The frame includes a plurality of legs spaced about the frame to establish a gap between the frame and the ground, making it easier to grip the deadlift bar once the weights are loaded onto the device. Mounted to the left and right members and extending outwardly from the frame are first and second platforms, each of which may be formed by a pair of angled protruding arms joined at their respective ends by a connecting member. The platforms also include a pair of legs at the juncture of the arms with the connecting member to support the device and prevent bowing when weights are mounted thereon. Each platform further includes a support column extending upwardly from the connecting member, vertically at its base and then at an incline extending upwardly and away from the frame.
