Abstract | An ergonomically designed weightlifting bench that is provided with a proper stand to position the lifters feet during a heavy compound movement. The bench is made of a frame that that can lower the lifter out from underneath the weight. The ergonomically designed back rest pads can be adjusted to match the lifters dimensions and preference. The adjustable foot rest is mounted to the frame of the bench. Anthropometrics is an important area in ergonomics. Perhaps the main reason for physical injuries in fitness training is anthropometrically and ergonomically non-standard equipment. |
