ABSTRACT:
A gripping device and method for enhancing hand gripability of an elongated cylindrical exercise bar by a user during exercise. The device consists of a single resilient, flexible pad formed of a flat sheet of thin elastomeric material such as rubber, latex and the like. The pad is sized in length and width to cover substantially most of the user's palm and fingers up to the first joint. Being uncoated, the surfaces of the pad of elastomeric or latex, resist slippage. No adhesives or other attaching means are required to maintain the position and resilient shape of the device around the exercise bar; hand gripping pressure against the outer surface of the pad which is positioned between the exercise bar and the hand is sufficient for pad position retention.
