Abstract

A barbell includes a frame with a first outer bar and a second outer bar forming an opening therebetween; a first handle assembly mounted within the opening and having a first handle supported by a first outer member; and a first inner member rotationally engaged with the first outer member such that the first outer member can spin about the first inner member to alter a position of the first handle within the opening; a second handle assembly mounted within the opening and having a second handle supported by a second outer member; and a second inner member rotationally engaged with the second outer member such that the second outer member can spin about the second inner member to alter a position of the second handle within the opening; and weight bars extending from the frame to receive weights.

Claims20

Dependent claims

A barbell, comprising:

a frame with a first outer bar and a second outer bar forming an opening therebetween;
a first handle assembly mounted within the opening, the first handle assembly having:
a first handle supported by a first outer member;
and
a first inner member rotationally engaged with the first outer member such that the first outer member can spin about the first inner member to alter a position of the first handle within the opening;
a second handle assembly mounted within the opening, the second handle assembly having:
a second handle supported by a second outer member;
and
a second inner member rotationally engaged with the second outer member such that the second outer member can spin about the second inner member to alter a position of the second handle within the opening;
and
one or more weight bars extending from the frame and configured to receive weights;
wherein the first outer member is a first circular structure and the first inner member is a second circular structure positioned within the first circular structure such that the first circular structure can spin around the second circular structure;
and
wherein the first handle and the second handle are configured to manipulate the weights during use.
