ABSTRACT:
The present invention is applicable to the field of weight training. The device described herein comprises of insulated twin manacles that would be placed upon the users ankles and attached to a weighted cable. The user has a wide array of exercises to choose from at this point including hamstrings, abdominal, quadreccepts, etc. The rise of weight to achieve an isotonic contraction has long been recognized to promote proximal musculature in a desired anatomical region. A twin manacle design allows the user to engage both appendages simultaneously allowing for a balance to exist between both limbs. This directly attacks the "dominant/subservient" theory that we can define as one limb or appendage having the ability to over compensate for its weaker counter part.
