ABSTRACT:
An improved weightlifting exercise bar is described particularly useful for use by body builders and power lifters in physical development. The unique bar shape features a center section with a pair of handles extending therefrom at substantially 90 degrees. The handle sections terminate in ends which are angled with respect to the handles at an angle less than 90 degrees such that the ends are angled toward the longitudinal axis of the center section. The entire bar preferably is bent such that it lies in a single plane. This configuration provides a combined bar with weight plates that enables a user to grasp the handles without a resultant torque being imposed on the user's wrists. The bar is described in connection with a number of exercises which can be conducted with greater effect due to the orientation of the handle portions of the bar and the clearance which the bar provides with the user's body.
