Pull exerciser

A pull exerciser comprising, in combination:

• a bar including first and second ends spaced along a first longitudinal axis and an engaging hole extending from the first end through the second end along the first longitudinal axis;
• first and second handles each including a grip portion and a connecting portion spaced from the grip portion along a second longitudinal axis and a cord mounting section intermediate the grip portion and the connecting portion, with the connecting portion of each of the first and second handles releasably mounted to one of the first and second ends of the bar, with the cord mounting section of each of the first and second handles including first, second, and third through-holes spaced along the second longitudinal axis, a first elastic cord including first and second ends, with the first end of the first elastic cord extended through and retained in the first, second, and third through-holes of the cord mounting section of the first handle, with each of the first and second ends of the bar including a groove having a first longitudinal section extending from one of the first and second ends towards but spaced from the other of the first and second ends of the bar, with the groove further including a transverse section extending perpendicularly to the longitudinal section from the longitudinal section, with the connecting portion of each of the first and second handles including an engaging member engaged in the groove of one of the first and second handles by moving through the longitudinal section of the groove of one of the first and second ends of the bar along the first longitudinal section and then moving into the transverse section of the groove of one of the first and second ends of the bar, with a flange formed between the connecting portion and the cord mounting section of each of first and second handles, with the pull exerciser further comprising, in combination:
• a padding member mounted around the connecting portion of the cord mounting section of each of the first and second handles and abutting the flange, with the padding member pressing against an end face of one of the first and second ends of the bar and deformed along the second longitudinal axis before the engaging member is moved into the transverse section, with resilient returning force of the deformed padding member exerting a longitudinal force along the second longitudinal axis against a lateral wall of the transverse section perpendicular to the first longitudinal axis when the engaging member is engaged in the transverse section.
