Adjustable Weight Training Apparatus

Abstract

An adjustable weight training apparatus. The adjustable weight training apparatus has a vessel with a plurality of compartments, the plurality of compartments having a compartment size and a compartment shape. A plurality of weights has a weight shape the same as the compartment shape and a weight size slightly smaller than the compartment shape such that any individual weight of the plurality of weights fits within any individual compartments within the plurality of compartments. The adjustable weight training apparatus further has a retaining lid, wherein the retaining lid is manually attachable and removable from the vessel, the retaining lid securing any of the plurality of weights loaded within the vessel. Adjustment of an overall weight of the adjustable weight training apparatus requires manual loading and there are no adjustment mechanisms, no weight selectors, no weight switches, and no other means of automatically adjusting the overall weight of the adjustable weight training apparatus.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An adjustable weight training apparatus comprising:

         2 . The adjustable weight training apparatus of  claim 1 , further comprising a bar, the bar connected to the vessel. 
     
     
         3 . The adjustable weight training apparatus of  claim 2 , wherein the number of the vessels attached to the bar is two. 
     
     
         4 . The adjustable weight training apparatus of  claim 2 , wherein the bar is a bolt and a nut. 
     
     
         5 . The adjustable weight training apparatus of  claim 2 , wherein the bar is a stock metal bar. 
     
     
         6 . The adjustable weight training apparatus of  claim 2 , wherein the bar has a polymer grip. 
     
     
         7 . The adjustable weight training apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the weight vessel is square shaped, circular shaped, or hexagon shaped. 
     
     
         8 . The adjustable weight training apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the plurality of weights is cuboid. 
     
     
         9 . The adjustable weight training apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein each of the plurality of weights weighs approximately 1 lb. 
     
     
         10 . The adjustable weight training apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the plurality of weights is made from steel based, iron based, or other similarly dense metals. 
     
     
         11 . The adjustable weight training apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the weight vessel is made from a polymer. 
     
     
         12 . The adjustable weight training apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the weight vessel has 8, 24, or 49 compartments. 
     
     
         13 . The adjustable weight training apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the weight vessel has a plurality of overhang latch members. 
     
     
         14 . The adjustable weight training apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein some of the plurality of overhang latch members overhang in at least a first direction and other of the overhang latch members overhang in a second direction. 
     
     
         15 . The adjustable weight training apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the retaining lid has a buckle system with a first pin and a second pin. 
     
     
         16 . The adjustable weight training apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the retaining lid fits onto the weight vessel with a friction fit. 
     
     
         17 . The adjustable weight training apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the weight vessel shape is square, circular, or hexagonal. 
     
     
         18 . The adjustable weight training apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the weight vessel's compartment shape is square, circular, or hexagonal.
