ABSTRACT:
A weight lifting system including a handle or bar that is adapted to be connected to a weight plate. The weight plate includes a central opening that extends through the weight plate. One end portion of the handle is inserted into one end of the opening within the weight plate. A bolt is extended into the opening of the weight plate, from the opposite side, and threaded into a threaded bore formed axially within the end portion. A shoulder is formed intermediately within the opening of the weight plate. As the bolt is turned and threaded into the threaded bore, the end portion of the handle is drawn towards the shoulder while a head portion of the bolt moves towards the shoulder. By securely tightening the bolt within the threaded bore, the bolt head is brought into contact with the shoulder and thereby the inward movement of the bolt is limited. The opening in the weight plate and the bolt are sized such that when the bolt is securely tightened within the threaded bore of the end portion of the handle, the head of the bolt will be recessed within the opening of the weight plate and will not protrude past the adjacent side of the weight plate. To conceal the bolt head and the bolt, a cap can be secured to the end of the opening adjacent the bolt head.
