SOLVING THE OBVIOUS
WORKING OUT AT THE GYM HAS ALWAYS BEEN A FORM OF THERAPY NOT ONLY TO ME
BUT TO MILLIONS OF PEOPLE ALL OVER THE WORLD. HOWEVER, THERE ARE A FEW
THINGS THAT CAN DISRUPT THAT ENVIRONMENT SUCH AS; PEOPLE HAVING
CONVERSATIONS ON THEIR PHONES WHILE USING THE SPEAKER, ARRGHH... PEOPLE
NOT RERACKING WEIGHTS WHEN THEY ARE FINISHED... AND MY FAVORITE, TRYING TO
FIND BARBELL COLLARS...
COLLARS ARE NEVER WHERE THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO BE, THERE ARE NEVER ENOUGH COLLARS AROUND, AND THE AMOUNT OF TIME WASTED IN THE HUNT FOR COLLARS AS WELL AS THE AMOUNT OF TIME WASTED IN THE PROCESS OF PUTTING COLLARS ON AND TAKING COLLARS OFF WITH EACH CHANGE OF WEIGHT BEING USED DOES ADD UP. THE MORE TIME ONE GYM MEMBER SPENDS ON A PIECE OF EQUIPMENT THE MORE BACK UP A GYM WILL EXPERIENCE IN GENERAL.
FROM THE GYM'S SIDE OF THE COLLAR EQUATION ARE EMPLOYEES CONSTANTLY HAVING TO POLICE MEMBERS TO USE THE COLLARS FOR THE SAFETY OF THEMSELVES AND OTHERS. WHILE THIS IS CLEARLY A CONCERN, THE COST OF LIABILITY INSURANCE
SURROUNDING FREE WEIGHTS BEING PUNATIVE TO OWNERS IS ALSO A CONCERN.
IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO USE THE INTERLOK SYSTEM WITHOUT ENGAGING THE LOCK. THE INTERLOK WEIGHT PLATE IS ALWAYS LOCKED, WHEN IT IS RACKED IT IS LOCKED, WHEN IT IS SITTING ON THE FLOOR IT IS LOCKED, IT MUST BE UNLOCKED BY SQUEEZING THE LOCK HANDLE (WHICH IS LOCATED INSIDE ONE OF THE HAND HOLD AREAS) IN ORDER TO PLACE THE PLATE ON THE BARBELL.
FURTHERMORE, IT IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR THE PLATE TO COME OFF THE BAR EVEN IF THE LOCK BLADE HAS NOT ENGAGE A LOCK SLOT AND THE USER HAS RELEASED THE LOCK HANDLE DUE TO THE SPRING LOADED NATURE OF THE LOCK. EVEN IF THE BAR WERE STOOD ON AN END THE PLATE WOULD SLIDE LESS THAN ONE INCH BEFORE THE LOCK BLADE SELF ENGAGED THE CLOSEST LOCK SLOT, THIS MAKES THE INTERLOK WEIGHT PLATE SYSTEM AN AUTOMATIC LOCKING SYSTEM.
THE INTERLOK BARBELL HAS A MULTIPLE DOUBLE SLOT DESIGN, EACH SLOT HAVING A SECONDARY DEEPER SLOTTED PORTION. THE FIRST SLOT LOCATES AND LOCKS THE PLATE IN A CHOSEN LATERAL POSITION ON THE BAR WHILE THE SECONDARY DEEPER SLOT LOCKS THE PLATE IN A SPECIFIC ROTATIONAL POSITION ON THE BAR WHICH ALIGNS THE HAND HOLD AREAS OF ALL THE PLATES BEING UTILIZED.
INSTALLING AND REMOVING WEIGHT PLATES IS NOW FASTER, EASIER, SAFER, AND WITH LESS HEAD ACHES FOR GYM MEMBERS AND GYM MANAGEMENT.
