ABSTRACT:
A weight lifting bar apparatus includes an elongated cylindrical lifting bar and has a bracket attached to each end thereof. Each bracket has an elongated slide extending transversely to the lifting bar and a latching cover for covering the elongated slot. Each of a pair of dumbbells has a handle bar portion between a pair of weighted ends with the handle bar sized to fit into the bracket elongated slot and to be removable latched therein so that a pair of dumbbells can be used as weights for a barbell. One embodiment has the brackets fixedly attached to each end of the bar with a latching cover slidable on the bar to cover the transverse slot. Another embodiment has the brackets removably attached to each end of the bar and locks the dumbbells in place by having the elongated slot slidable beneath the barbell bar and uses a locking collar to lock each bracket in place.
