EXERCISE DEVICE FOR SUSPENDED BODY WEIGHT TRAINING
First Claim
1. A pulley system of an exercise device for suspended weight training, comprising:
- a first block configured to removably connect to a raised position above a floor surface, the first block having a first pulley, a second pulley, and a first attachment point;
a second block removably coupled to a weight, the second block having a third pulley and a second attachment point;
a grip configured to be held by a user while exercising, the grip having a third attachment point; and
a line having a first line end fixedly coupled to the grip and a second line end fixedly coupled to a connection element, the connection element configured to be selectively coupled to each of the first attachment point, the second attachment point, and the third attachment point, wherein the line extends from the grip around the first pulley, around the third pulley, and around the second pulley, wherein the selective coupling of the connection element to each of the first attachment point, the second attachment point, and the third attachment point permits a user to reduce an effective amount of the weight lifted by the user with movement of the grip to a pre-selected fraction of the weight.

Abstract
A pulley system of an exercise device for suspended weight training includes a first block with a first pulley, a second pulley, and a first attachment point. A second block is removably coupled to a weight and includes a third pulley and a second attachment point. A grip is configured to be held by a user while exercising and has a third attachment point. A line having a first line end is fixedly coupled to the grip and a second line end fixedly is coupled to a connection element. The connection element is configured to be selectively coupled to each of the first attachment point, the second attachment point, and the third attachment point, permits a user to reduce an effective amount of the weight lifted by the user with movement of the grip to a pre-selected fraction of the weight.
