Chest and shoulder weight lifting apparatus

Abstract

Forearm support A ( 18 ) and forearm support B ( 20 ) partially encircle the forearm ( 24 ) of the human body. A main strap ( 22 ) runs parallel to the forearm over the palm of the hand and hangs below the elbow. D rings ( 19 ) attach to the main strap so the length can be adjusted. A clip ring ( 16 ) is connected to the main strap ( 22 ) below the elbow. A metal rod with a bracket or hole ( 14 ) at one end connects to the clip ring. The metal rod connects to a weight ( 10 ).

1 . An apparatus for attaching weight to the arms of a human body, comprising:
 (a) a form of resistance to the muscles of a human being for the purpose of increasing muscle strength   (b) a plurality of elongated support members of flexible material, and   (c) means for joining said form of resistance to said elongated support members so that said form of resistance and said elongated support members may pivot at a connection point.   
   
   
       2 . The apparatus of  claim 1  wherein said elongated support members are connected in a way that would allow them to hold weight when attached to said arms of a human body. 
   
   
       3 . The apparatus of  claim 1  wherein said elongated support members are connected to said form of resistance to allow said arms of a human body to act against said form of resistance. 
   
   
       4 . The apparatus of  claim 1  wherein said form of resistance is connected to said elongated support members at said pivot point in a way that would allow said elongated support members and said form of resistance to be disconnected and reconnected. 
   
   
       5 . The apparatus of  claim 1  wherein said form of resistance can be increased or decreased. 
   
   
       6 . The apparatus of  claim 1  wherein said form of resistance is round with a hole in the center. 
   
   
       7 . The apparatus of  claim 1  wherein a pin with a lip on one end passes through said hole in said form of resistance. 
   
   
       8 . The apparatus of claim one wherein said pin is attached to said elongated support members with a clip. 
   
   
       9 . The apparatus of  claim 1  wherein length of said elongated support members may be adjusted.
