Upgradeable weight training device

Abstract

An upgradable weighted training device to help condition and train forearm and shoulder muscles. The angular bar design helps put leverage against the user. By turning the apparatus, the user is able to activate the forearm muscles more effectively through the full range of motion.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An exercise apparatus, comprising:
 an elongate horizontal member having a joint attached at opposed ends thereof;   an upright member releasably attached to the joints to dispose the upright members at an angle offset to a longitudinal length of the horizontal member.   
     
     
         2 . The exercise apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the upright members are releasably attached to the joint via a pin extending through an aperture of the joint and a corresponding aperture defined in an attachment end of the upright member. 
     
     
         3 . The exercise apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the upright members are releasably attached to the joint via a threaded coupling. 
     
     
         4 . The exercise apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the upright members are filled with a weighted material. 
     
     
         5 . The exercise apparatus of  claim 4 , wherein the weighted material comprises at least one of a granular or pelletized material. 
     
     
         6 . The exercise apparatus of  claim 4 , wherein the weighted material is solid. 
     
     
         7 . The exercise apparatus of  claim 6 , wherein the weighted material is integrally formed with the upright member. 
     
     
         8 . The exercise apparatus of  claim 2 , further comprising:
 a plurality of upright member pairs, wherein each upright member pair has a corresponding length.   
     
     
         9 . The exercise apparatus of  claim 8 , wherein each upright member pair has a corresponding weight. 
     
     
         10 . An exercise apparatus, comprising:
 an elongate horizontal member having a joint attached at opposed ends thereof;   an upright member releasably attached to the joint via a pin extending through an aperture of the joint and a corresponding aperture defined in an attachment end of the upright member to dispose the upright member at an angle offset to a longitudinal length of the horizontal member, wherein the upright member is filled with a weighted material.   
     
     
         11 . The exercise apparatus of  claim 10 , further comprising:
 a plurality of upright member pairs, wherein each upright member pair has a corresponding length.   
     
     
         12 . The exercise apparatus of  claim 11 , wherein each upright member pair has a corresponding weight.
