Abstract

A system and methods are provided for weightlifting. In various embodiments, a system includes: at least two support structures, each support structure including: a center post; a rail slidable within the center post, the rail comprising a cradle; and a linear actuator coupled at a first end to the center post and coupled at a second end to the rail; a user input device configured to generate a signal to the control module based on a user interaction; and a control module communicatively coupled to the linear actuator of each of the at least two support structures and configured to synchronize control of the linear actuators based on the signal.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A system for weightlifting, comprising:
 at least two support structures, each support structure comprising:
 a center post; 
 a rail slidable within the center post, the rail comprising a cradle; and 
 a linear actuator coupled at a first end to the center post and coupled at a second end to the rail; 
   a user input device configured to generate a signal to the control module based on a user interaction; and   a control module communicatively coupled to the linear actuator of each of the at least two support structures and configured to synchronize control of the linear actuators based on the signal.   
     
     
         2 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the user input device is coupled by one or more wires to the control module. 
     
     
         3 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the user input device is coupled wirelessly to the control module. 
     
     
         4 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the signal indicates a speed. 
     
     
         5 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the signal indicates a linear direction. 
     
     
         6 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the signal indicates a position. 
     
     
         7 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the user input device includes at least one switch coupled to the control module. 
     
     
         8 . The system of  claim 7 , wherein the at least one switch includes at least one of a pressure switch, a toggle switch, and a rocker switch. 
     
     
         9 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the user input device includes a remote-control device including at least one switch and configured to communicate wirelessly to the control module. 
     
     
         10 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the user input device includes an application comprising computer instructions stored in memory associated with a user device. 
     
     
         11 . The system of  claim 10 , wherein the user input device includes a microphone that communicates sensed information to the application. 
     
     
         12 . The system of  claim 10 , wherein the user input device includes a camera that communicates sensed information to the application. 
     
     
         13 . The system of  claim 10 , wherein the application generates a user interface that is displayed by the user input device. 
     
     
         14 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the center posts of the at least two support structures are coupled to a base. 
     
     
         15 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein each center post of the at least two support structures is coupled to a respective base. 
     
     
         16 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the linear actuator includes an electro-mechanical actuator. 
     
     
         17 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the linear actuator includes a pneumatic actuator. 
     
     
         18 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the linear actuator includes a hydraulic actuator.
