Hand grip strengthening and competition apparatus

Apparatus, comprising:

• an elongate body;
• first and second alarms, first and second contacts, and a power source carried by the elongate body;
• a first lever, formed with a first lever contact, mounted to the elongate body for pivotal movement between an open position and a closed position engaging the first lever contact with the first contact closing a first circuit between the power source and the first alarm energizing the first alarm;
• a second lever, formed with a second lever contact and spaced from the first lever, mounted to the elongate body for pivotal movement between an open position and a closed position engaging the second lever contact with the second contact closing a second circuit between the power source and the second alarm energizing the second alarm;
• and
• an elongate flexible, substantially non-stretchable connector having a first end attached to the first lever, a second end attached to the second lever, and length extending from the first end to the second end preventing the first and second levers from concurrently assuming their respective closed positions.

Apparatus, comprising:

• an elongate body having opposed first and second ends;
• a first grip formed at the first end of the elongate body;
• a second grip formed at the second end of the elongate body;
• first and second alarms and a power source carried by the elongate body;
• a first contact carried by the first grip;
• a second contact carried by the second grip;
• a first lever, formed with a first lever contact, mounted to the elongate body for pivotal movement between an open position away from the first grip and a closed position toward the first grip engaging the first lever contact with the first contact closing a first circuit between the power source and the first alarm energizing the first alarm;
• a second lever, formed with a first lever contact, mounted to the elongate body for pivotal movement between an open position away from the second grip and a closed position toward the second grip engaging the second lever contact with the second contact closing a second circuit between the power source and the second alarm energizing the second alarm;
• and
• an elongate flexible, substantially non-stretchable connector having a first end attached to the first lever, a second end attached to the second lever, and length extending from the first end to the second end preventing the first and second levers from concurrently assuming their respective closed positions.
