ABSTRACT:
A weight lifting support and cushion device for attachment to a user's hand and a hand grippable portion of an exercise device, such as, for example, an exercise or weight lifting bar. This weight lifting support and cushion device includes two double overlay straps, a prop brace, a recoil tip, foundational connector, and a split cushion support system. The device could be worn on either the left or the right hand of the user; and in instances where both hands are required to grip the exercise device, a weight lifting support and cushion device will be worn on both hands. The two double overlay straps are secured to the prop brace on their first ends and extend substantially parallel until they converge at the recoil tip. The foundational connector has looped ends through which a double overlay strap is inserted so that the double overlay straps together slide freely within the looped ends of the foundational connector. In use, the hand is inserted past the prop brace through the foundational connector so that the recoil tip is adjacent the fingers or palm of the hand and the foundational connector extends around the back of the wrist. Two split cushion supports are fixed to the foundational connector so as to cushion the sides and back of the hand. The recoil tip is formed by rolling the second ends of the double overlay straps and securing that roll by a cover strap.
