Design a new and unique way to modify a barbell that tells the user if it's level.

Project Overview

Over one million weightlifters each year experience weightlifting injuries that put them in the emergency room. Of these one million, 18-46% are reported to be caused by bench pressing a barbell. Our team’s task is to create a pitch-able system that increases safety for lifting, specifically bench pressing.
