Abstract

Claims (32)

1. An exercise bar attachment apparatus releasably coupleable to a landmine exercise machine, the apparatus comprising:

an attachment member having a first end, a second end, and a cylindrical portion extending along a central axis between the first end and the second end, the second end configured to be secured to a portion of the landmine exercise machine;

a barbell having a gripping portion; and

a pair of support arms extending between the attachment member and the barbell and configured to secure the barbell to the attachment member in a position that is perpendicular to the central axis of the attachment member.

2. The exercise bar attachment apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the cylindrical portion further includes a through hole configured to receive a stop member.

3. The exercise bar attachment apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the pair of support arms and gripping portion collectively define an inner lifting zone.

4. The exercise bar attachment apparatus of claim 1 , wherein each of the pair of support arms includes a perpendicular portion coupled to the barbell and an angled portion coupled to the attachment member.

5. The exercise bar attachment apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the gripping portion is configured to rotate.

6. The exercise bar attachment apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the first end of the attachment member is closed.

7. An exercise rack attachment system releasably coupleable to a landmine exercise machine, the attachment system comprising:

an attachment member having a substantially circular first end, a substantially circular a second end, and a cylindrical portion extending along a central axis between the circular first end and the second end, wherein the first end of the attachment member is configured to be releaseably secured to a substantially cylindrical element and the second end is configured to be secured to a portion of the landmine exercise machine;

a barbell having a first collar, a second collar, and a gripping portion extending between the first collar and the second collar;

a first connection member having a first perpendicular portion and a first angled portion, where the first perpendicular portion is directly coupled to the first collar and the first angled portion is coupled to a portion of the attachment member; and

a second connection member having a second perpendicular portion and a second angled portion, where the second perpendicular portion is directly coupled to the second collar and the second angled portion is coupled to a portion of the attachment member;

wherein the first connection member and the second connection member are configured to secure the barbell to the attachment member in a position that is perpendicular to the central axis of the attachment member.

8. The exercise rack attachment system of claim 7 , wherein the cylindrical portion further comprises a through hole configured to receive a stop member.

9. The exercise rack attachment system of claim 7 , wherein the first connection member, the second connection member, and the gripping portion collectively define an inner lifting zone.

10. The exercise rack attachment system of claim 7 , wherein the first angled portion intersects the attachment member at a 90 degree angle.

11. The exercise rack attachment system of claim 10 , wherein the second angled portion intersects the attachment member at a 90 degree angle.

12. The exercise rack attachment system of claim 7 , wherein the gripping portion is configured to rotate.

13. The exercise rack attachment system of claim 7 , wherein the second end of the attachment member is closed.

14. A barbell attachment system releasably coupleable to a landmine exercise machine, the attachment system comprising:

an attachment member having a first end, a second end, and a cylindrical portion extending along a central axis between the first end and the second end, wherein the first end of the attachment member is configured to be releasably coupled to a substantially cylindrical element and the second end is configured to be secured to a portion of the landmine exercise machine;

a barbell having a pair of collars and a gripping portion extending between the pair of collars;

a pair of support members, wherein each respective support member is directly coupled to one of the pair of collars and extends between one of the pair of collars and a portion of the attachment member, wherein the pair of support members are configured to secure the barbell to the attachment member in a position that is perpendicular to the central axis of the attachment member;

wherein the pair of support members, the gripping portion, and the attachment member collectively define a lifting zone.

15. The barbell attachment system of claim 14 , wherein the cylindrical portion further comprises a through hole configured to receive a stop member.

16. The barbell attachment system of claim 14 , wherein each support member includes a perpendicular portion and an angled portion.

17. The barbell attachment system of claim 16 , wherein the perpendicular portion of each support member is coupled to a portion of the barbell and the angled portion of each support member is coupled to the attachment member.

18. The barbell attachment system of claim 14 , wherein the support members have a curvilinear shape.

19. The barbell attachment system of claim 14 , wherein the gripping portion is configured to rotate.

20. The barbell attachment system of claim 14 , wherein the first end of the attachment member is closed.
