Strenght-training device

Abstract

A strength-training device for developing the forearms, upper arms, and shoulders muscle groups comprising of two cylindrical gripping handles, with fixed concave surface end caps, that are connected by a cylindrical center joint piece having a concave surface on top, and an underbody cavity at bottom. A latching rod with a T-lock arm is situated in a secure hole of the center joint piece just below the main surface vertex line. An exercise cord with end loops and of adequate tension strength is secured to the latching rod at one end, and to free weight disc(s) at the other end. The use of free weights suspended by the exercise cord whereby the user raises and lowers the weights by rotating the gripping handles of the training device towards the body and away from the body is effective in achieving forearms and shoulders workout. Weight machine cables are attachable to the latching rod in place of the exercise cord. The use of a weight machine system in conjunction with the exercise device whereby the user performs bicep curls and triceps extension exercises is effective in achieving upper arms workout. Exercise cord may be wrapped around the training device's end caps, longitudinally, for easy storage when training complete.

What I claim as my invention is:  
     
         1 . A strength-training device that develops the forearms, upper arms, and shoulders muscle groups, comprising: 
 (a) a large cylindrical center joint piece;    (b) a plurality of cylindrical gripping handles with fixed end caps firmly connected to both ends of the said center joint piece;    (c) a latching rod that situates at the center joint piece and to which a weighted exercise cord, carabiner, or a weight machine cable is latched; and    (d) an exercise cord by which the said training device be curled around, and from which free weights are attached, whereby through a rotational motion of the said training device using free weights or a vertical motion of the said training device used in conjunction with a weight machine system with weights, a complete forearms, upper arms, and shoulders strength-training workout is possible.    
     
     
         2 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein said center joint piece, has a concave surface on top, an underbody cavity at bottom, and a secure hole boring through the width of the center joint piece just below the main surface vertex line.  
     
     
         3 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein said cylindrical gripping handles with end caps, each end cap has a concave surface.  
     
     
         4 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein said latching rod, includes a pivotal T-lock arm and is secured through the secure hole of the said center joint piece.  
     
     
         5 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein said exercise cord, the cord is of predetermined length, width, tension strength, and consists of two end loops.
