Abstract
An isolation bar for a chin-up or pull-up bar extends parallel or at an acute angle (angled facing upwards) and is below a grasping region of the chin-up or pull-up device. The isolation bar can be hung from the chin-up or pull-up bar by way of cables/elongated straps or be fixed to a door frame, wall mounted, or free standing device with the grasping region. In use, the forearms of a user are pushed against the isolation bar while carrying out a chin-up or pull-up.
Claims19
A pull-up exercise device with an isolation bar, comprising:
- two spaced apart grasping regions held in place relative to the ground;
- said isolation bar;
- said isolation bar with a contact region at an acute angle relative to a horizontal line extending between said two spaced apart said grasping regions, said isolation bar between said two spaced apart grasping regions and said ground;
- and
- wherein wheels on a side of said isolation bar opposite said contact region are adapted to be pressed against a fixed vertical structure, and rotation of said wheels causes an angle change of said contact region.
A method of doing pull-ups with a pull-up exercise device, said device comprising two spaced apart grasping regions held in place relative to the ground, and an isolation bar, said isolation bar comprising a contact region inline with or at an acute angle relative to a horizontal line passing through said two spaced apart grasping regions, steps of said method being:
- grasping each of said two spaced apart grasping regions;
- resting forearms on said isolation bar;
- pulling on each of said two spaced apart grasping regions while pressing said forearms into said isolation bar causing each arm to be stabilized relative to said isolation bar;
- and
- wherein wheels on a side of said isolation bar opposite said contact region are adapted to be pressed against a fixed vertical structure, and rotation of said wheels causes an angle change of said contact region.
