ABSTRACT:
A weight-lifting or exercising device wherein the spacing of the weights along the length of the bar and the masses of the individual weights may be selectively varied to accommodate people of different sizes and capabilities. Each of the weights is substantially hollow and includes a generally ovoid or egg-shaped shell. Each shell has a first axis, a central aperture transverse to the first axis, and a tubular member aligned with the axis and extending across the aperture. A channel opens at one longitudinal end of the shell and extends along the axis and through the tubular member for telescopically receiving the bar therein. The aperture is adapted to receive a person's hand or foot to operatively engage the tubular member for exercising purposes and the weights may be used without the bar as individual dumbbells. The shells may be telescoped along the bar and selectively locked at spaced locations along its length. The shells also include compartments which can be filled or emptied of foreign materials such as water, sand, shot or the like to selectively increase or decrease the mass of the individual weights.
