Our project was a mechanism to help those who bench press heavier weights without a spotter. We have a mechanism to help lift the bar up so that it can get back to rest position; this will save many people from injuries and trouble. 

Our problem was that athletes and body builders cannot push into higher weights by themselves without a spotter. So for those who like or have to work alone cannot push their limits. Our project will allow them to do whatever they feel they can without worrying about getting stuck and hurting themselves. Our project is a button on the bar that is connected to a circuit. The circuit connects a motor that runs by holding down the button. The motor is then attached to a pulley system which has a counter weight on it so that the weight pulls down. As the weight is pulling down, it will create a force to bring the bar up so that you can rack it. This project will make lifting safer and allow people to work on their own and better themselves with less of a risk.
