Handstand cast trainer

Abstract

A cast trainer assembly ( 200 ) is adapted for use with a gymnastics apparatus ( 100 ). The cast trainer assembly ( 200 ) comprises a bar subassembly ( 202 ) coupled at opposing ends to a right-side brace subassembly ( 204 ) and a left-side brace subassembly ( 206 ). The subassemblies ( 204, 206 ) provide means for coupling the bar subassembly ( 202 ) to the gymnastic apparatus ( 100 ). The sub assemblies ( 204, 206 ) each include a side brace ( 208 ). The sub assemblies ( 204, 206 ) also each include slots or notches ( 220 ) spaced apart from each other. The slots or notches ( 220 ) are adapted to releasably receive the bar subassembly ( 202 ). The slots or notches ( 220 ) provide a configuration for positioning the subassembly ( 202 ) at a desired height and with distance being varied between the cross bar reference ( 126 ) and a bar ( 230 ).
