1. A system comprising:
a main weight comprising one or more arms that extend outwardly from a front face, rear face, side face, or combinations thereof;
a hydraulic cylinder comprising an upper first end, a lower second end, a length between the upper and lower ends, and a diameter configured to accommodate a hydraulic piston configured to travel along an interior of the hydraulic cylinder, wherein the hydraulic cylinder contacts one end of each arm and wherein the hydraulic piston is configured to raise the main weight from the lower second end of the hydraulic cylinder to the upper first end of the hydraulic cylinder;
a pair of cables, each comprising a first end attached to the main weight, wherein each cable includes a toothed region that cooperates with a spool that includes an electromagnet positioned at each end;
a pair of rotatable catching rods with one end positioned adjacent to the main weight, and a pair of upper wheels and a pair of lower wheels, wherein the catching rods support the main weight in a first position and in a second position release the main weight.
