<p>An apparatus and method for changing barbell weights (44). The apparatus includes at least one stand (2) having a ramp (4) sloping upwards to a first cradle (12) and a second cradle (19). The first cradle (12) is sized to hold a circular barbell weight (44). The height of first cradle (12) exceeds the height of second cradle (19) by at least the difference between a' weight bore diameter (45) and a bar diameter (43). When a barbell (40) is supported in stand (2), only an innermost weight (44) at each barbell (40) end rests against the cradle floor; the other weights (44) all depend from bar (42) and are easily slid off of, and onto, bar (42). Method steps include rolling barbell (40) onto one or more stands (2), changing weights (44) as desired, and rolling barbell (40) off of the stand(s) (2).</p> |
