1. A weight arm assembly for use with a weight lifting rack having at least two corresponding vertical upright members configured to hold at least a weight lifting bar therebetween, the weight arm assembly comprising:
a mounting bracket configured to be attached to one of the upright members;
an arm mount configured to be coupled to the mounting bracket so as to be pivotable about a first axis that is substantially vertical;
a stop member coupled to the arm mount and configured to move between an engaged position to prevent pivoting of the arm mount through interaction with the mounting bracket, and a disengaged position to allow pivoting of the arm mount; and
a weight arm configured to be coupled to the arm mount, proximate a first end of the weight arm, so as to be pivotable about a second axis substantially orthogonal to the first axis, the weight arm including a load peg, proximate a second end of the weight arm, configured to support weight plates thereon;
wherein the arm mount is configured to be selectively rotated between at least one press position and a non-use position.
