US 6,599,201 B1 · Weight training apparatus

Abstract

A golf muscle weight training apparatus for attachment to the shaft of a golf club or other sports implement includes a weight carrier having an elongated weight supporting portion, a weight, and a clamp mechanism. The clamp mechanism cooperates with the weight carrier to clamp the weight carrier to the shaft with the axis of the weight supporting portion extending substantially perpendicular to a plane extending through the axis of the shaft and being offset laterally with respect to the axis of the golf club. The weight supporting portion supports a weight mass, with the weight mass extending in overlying relation with the head of the golf club. In another embodiment, the axis of the weight mass extends perpendicular to the axis of the golf club shaft. One or more extension weights can be coupled to the weight carrier to increase the weight mass of the weight training apparatus.
