         10 . The apparatus of  claim 9 , wherein the QRM and or latch is to securely close shut over the bar, allowing for a user to then slide in the weights with the face of at least one weight facing the first side of the closed QRM and or latch with at least one QRM of lock, latch, clip, hook and or any embodiments of quick release mechanism. 
     
     
         11 . The apparatus of  claim 10 , wherein the cylindrical bar is configured to the QRM and or latch to securely close shut over the bar, allowing for a user to then slide in the weights with the face of at least one weight facing the first side of the closed QRM and or latch, using hand-pedal and or MOR to release open QRM and or latch. 
     
     
         12 . The apparatus of  claim 10 , wherein the open QRM and or latch remains on the bar after pushing the MOR and or hand-pedal for instance.
