Ever lost count of your sets during a demanding workout? Or had to stop mid-session to check whether your weight plates are still securely in place? For athletes and weightlifters, these small frustrations can interrupt training and take focus away from performance. Alireza Yazdanshenas of Richardson, Texas, has turned these everyday gym challenges into opportunities for innovation, with three issued U.S. patents focused on making strength training equipment more functional and reliable.
One of his inventions, Rotational Magnetic Set Counter with an Elastic Radial Double Cam Mechanism, is protected under U.S. Patent No. 12,566,938 B1. Designed with CrossFit athletes and fitness enthusiasts in mind, the magnetic counter attaches to metal gym equipment, keeping it visible and accessible during workouts. Users can simply turn the dial after completing a set, making it easier to track progress without reaching for a phone or relying on memory.
But the counter offers more than just workout tracking. Its display surface can feature motivational messages, encouraging quotes, or promotional content. This creates an additional opportunity for gyms and fitness businesses to combine a practical training accessory with branding and advertising. The product is also available through an Amazon listing.
Yazdanshenas’s innovation doesn’t stop at counting sets. He has also developed two patented designs addressing another familiar challenge in weightlifting: keeping heavy plates securely attached to barbells.
His U.S. Patent No. 12,042,685 B1, titled Dynamic Weight Plate Retention Collar, describes an adjustable collar with movable contact components designed to help manage vibration and impact during lifting. His second invention, U.S. Patent No. 12,257,473 B2, titled Weight Plate Retention Collar with Integrated Contact Patches, takes a related approach by incorporating contact patches into the collar to create multiple points of contact around the barbell.
Together, these inventions reflect a consistent focus on improving the details that matter during training. From keeping track of workout sets to securing weight plates, Yazdanshenas’s designs address practical equipment challenges that athletes and gym owners can easily recognize.

Alireza Yazdanshenas’s journey is a reminder that meaningful innovation often starts with noticing the little things that could work better. By turning everyday training frustrations into patented engineering solutions, he demonstrates how thoughtful product design can make a difference in the fitness industry.
Congratulations to Alireza Yazdanshenas on securing three issued U.S. patents and continuing to bring practical innovation to the world of strength training!
