ABSTRACT:
An improved weight exercise apparatus having an interlocking grip bar and rotationally removable weight plates. A weight plate is attached to a socket on the grip bar and can be interlocked with additional weight plates using a simple insert and twist motion. The grip bar does not extend beyond the attached weight plates making the apparatus ergonomically friendly and aesthetically pleasing. The invention restricts the movement of interlocked weight plates to limit rattle-type noise typical of loose weights on a barbell and includes a latching mechanism to prevent a weight plate from being accidentally disconnected.
