The team is looking to create a unique solution to preventing weightlifting injuries using barbells

Project Overview

Thousands of weightlifting injuries occur every year. These injuries are often caused by an uneven distribution of load on the barbell, leading to the weight lifter favoring one arm over the other. The team has been tasked with designing a biomedical device that can prevent weight lifting injuries by targeting, identifying, and correcting improper form.
