ABSTRACT:
An exercise device including an elongated weight carrying member having a longitudinal axis and an outer surface including a plurality of edge portions, at least one weight slidably mounted on the weight carrying member, and a weight securing arrangement for releasably securing the weight on the weight carrying member. The weight securing arrangement includes an aperture in the weight dimensioned and shaped so that, when the weight is rotated relative to the longitudinal axis from a first angular position to a second angular position, the inner wall of the aperture frictionally engages the weight carrying member and prevents movement of the weight. The device also includes a body having a pair of parallel spaced legs and a grip portion which is gripped by a user to perform an exercise movement. The grip portion includes a movable handle extending transversely between the legs and having opposed end portions. A retainer member is mounted on each leg and includes a deflectable portion which is deflectable between undeflected and deflected positions and has spaced detent notches. Each handle end portion includes a slot for receiving a respective leg, an opening offset axially outwardly from the slot to permit the handle end portion to pass over the retainer member when the deflectable portion is in the deflected position, and a protrusion on one side of the opening for registering with a detent notch and preventing movement of the handle when the deflectable portion is in the undeflected position.
