Tricep and bicep exercise bar

Abstract

This invention is a weight lifting exercise bar with handle grip members selectively rotatable relative to the longitudinal axis of the exercise bar so that the exerciser can perform weight lifting exercises benefiting different muscle groups using a single exercise bar and a single set of weights. A set of ball bearings sandwitched between a pair of concentric rings, the outer ring being secured to exercise bar and the inner ring carrying the handle grip member. The inner ring member having the ability to smoothly rotate three hundred and sixty degree's, clockwise and or counterclockwise, independently of the outer ring member by the use of the ball bearings sandwitched between the inner ring member and the outer ring member. This invention allows for the handle grips to be rotated independently and freely while raising and lowering the exercise bar during it's intended use.

1 . In a exercise bar with a longitudinal axis having opposed end portions receiving selectively removable weights, a central portion and two spaced handle grip portions each inboard of said end portions and outboard of said central portion, each said handle grip portion  
       Compromising: 
 An outer ring member secured on one peripheral side to said outer portion and on opposite peripheral side to said central portion;  
 An inner ring member concentrically captured in said outer ring member and being able to rotate smoothly and freely relative to said outer ring member by the use of multiple ball bearings sandwitched between said inner ring member and said outer ring member; a set of two retainer rings attached to each opposing side of said outer ring member; a cylindrical handle grip member extending across said inner ring member and being secured thereto; whereby, said handle grip member can be selectively and freely rotated three hundred and sixty degree's, in either a clockwise or counterclockwise direction during and throughout it's intended use to permit various exercises to be performed without the removal of said weights from said exercise bar.
