Abstract
A device and method of use thereof provide a gripping element having a hexagonal cross-section. A weightlifting bar having a hexagonal circumference forming non-circular, substantively planar surfaces enables weight training. A pull up bar or other bar attached to a structure, wherein the gripping surface has a hexagonal circumference forming six surfaces enables gymnastic exercise. A kettle bell, a dumbbell and/or barbell exercise equipment each present a hexagonal circumference forming six planar surfaces. A structure or equipment presenting the gripping element may include knurled portions and/or smoothed portions. The gripping element may be positioned on a curved bar.
Claims8
An exercise bar comprising:
- a unitary elongate bar comprising an elongate length disposed between a first attachment end and a second attachment end;
- the first attachment end and the second attachment end each shaped to form a cylindrical cross-section conforming to a standardized weight lifting sleeve specification extending from a center of the bar;
- the elongate length forming a hexagonal cross-section along at least a first length, thereby forming six elongate sections;
- three of the six elongate sections being linear relieved sections, each of the three linear relieved sections partially extending along a separate non-adjoining face of the first length, separated by three planar elongate sections of the six elongate sections.
