Manipulatable weight plate

A highly manipulatable weight plate for use in human exercise, comprising:

• a disk body having a mass sufficient to generate a human movement resistance force when employed in human exercise and containing at least one internally located bore having a central axis for receiving a disk body mounting apparatus, said disk body including
• first and second generally opposed sides oriented generally radially with respect to said central axis and terminating in first and second circumferential edges, respectively;
• an outer periphery surface extending between said first and second circumferential edges of said first and second sides;
• and
• gripping means for allowing a human to simultaneously place a plurality of his fingers radially inwardly of said first circumferential edge of said first side wherein said gripping means includes a recess having a central axis intersecting the central axis of said internally located bore, said gripping means is sufficiently large to receive four fingers of a typical adult male human so that the fingers can apply an axial force against said disk body to displace the disk body away from an adjacent flat surface contacting said second side said gripping means includes a recess contained in said disk body which opens into said peripheral surface but does not extend into the internally located bore.
