Abstract: A strength training system and method includes an inelastic base strap connecting with an anchor and connecting with elastic/static components, which in turn are connected with handles. The combination of an inelastic base strap with modular elastic/static components configurable to be either elastic or inelastic provides the ability to perform suspension training as well as elastic band training with the same system. The elastic/static components may quickly be converted from an elastic to an inelastic segment by simply disconnecting the elastic module or by simply connecting the inelastic segment, since it is shorter than the elastic module. The elastic module includes a plurality of connectable elastic bands and may easily be replaced with other modules. An anchor point device is disclosed having double opposing cam buckles, usable with a door.

Abstract: For use with a dumbbell having a transverse connection or connections between two weights, a support structure comprising an elongated handle bar, and means associated with the transverse connection or connections providing releasably connection or connections to the two weights. A preferred clam-shell form of the invention is disclosed.

Abstract: For use with a dumbbell having a transverse connection or connections between two weights, a support structure comprising an elongated handle bar, and at least two jaw members capable of providing releasable connection to a weight, when said weight is present, said weight comprising a transverse connection or connections between two weights. The releasable connection capable of being locked in a closed position by a clamp mechanism.

Abstract: Adjustable lifting apparatus, comprising, in combination, a base, multiple cords connected to the base, a mover to be moved along a slide path in response to force exertion by the user's arms or legs, a connection or connections between the mover and one or more of the cords.

Abstract: The combination with liftable apparatus, including at least one weight, includes an assembly comprising at least one generally upright guide or housing supported by a base to extend near at least one weight, at least one elongated cord extending in proximity to the guide, or within the housing, the cord being resiliently stretchable and having a lower end retained relative to the base, the cord having an upper end portion configured to be lifted with the weight, whereby when said assembly is lifted, the cord becomes resiliently stretched to resist such lifting. Multiple such cords can be provided to extend in parallel, and may be coded as by color, for cord selection to provide selected added resistance to weight lifting.
