Abstract
A curling bar with dynamically rotating grips includes a curling bar having a pair of grip assemblies that are positioned evenly between two spaced apart weight receivers. Each grip assembly includes a circular grip receiver sized to receive a grip insert having a grip. The grip insert is equipped with a series of slide bearings which allows the grip insert to rotate within the circular grip receiver. The rotational position of the grip insert within the grip receiver can vary depending on the rotational force exerted by the weightlifter's wrists and forearms. More particularly, the grip insert, and associated grip, will rotate to minimize any stress placed upon the weightlifter's wrists.
