Abstract: A stabilization system for performing a plurality of different ground-based weight resistance exercises on a resistance training system. The stabilization system includes a first stabilization assembly and a second stabilization assembly. The first stabilization assembly includes a first support positioned and configured to stabilize a first lower body part of a user during the performance of one of the plurality of different ground-based weight resistance exercises. The first stabilization assembly is configured such that a horizontal position of the first support is adjustable with respect to the resistance training system. The second stabilization assembly includes a second support positioned and configured to stabilize a second lower body part of the user during the performance of one of the plurality of different ground-based weight resistance exercises with the second support configured to be positioned below the first support of the first stabilization assembly.

Abstract: An apparatus for mounting to an exercise rack for vertically moving an exercise bar from a first location to a second location, which includes a lift bar, a lift cable connected to the lift bar, a cable retractor and retractor controls. The lift bar includes an elongate spacer having left and right end sections and a lift hook mounted proximate each of the end sections. The lift hooks releaseably engage the exercise bar. The lift bar then supports the exercise bar while it is moved from the first location to the second location and is then disconnected from the exercise bar. The cable retractor is connected to the cable and moves the cable to cause the lift bar to be moved between the first and second locations. The retractor controls are electrically connected to the cable retractor and are used by a user for controlling the operation of the retractor.
