         7 . The weight adjustment device ( 1 ) according to  claim 5 , wherein the selective attachment of the device ( 1 ) to the coupling course ( 100 A) of the profile ( 100 ) is configured through a rotation movement of the device ( 1 ) in relation to the profile ( 100 ). 
     
     
         8 . The weight adjustment device ( 1 ) according to  claim 6 , further comprising a lever ( 20 ) concentrically and rotatably associated with a support ( 10 ), and a plate ( 30 ) eccentrically and rotatably associated with the support ( 10 ), the lever ( 20 ) being selectively rotatable, the lever ( 20 ) being configured to, through its own rotation, rotate the plate ( 30 ), the plate ( 30 ) being configured to, through its own rotation, attach or detach the fastening means ( 33 ) to or from the profile ( 100 ) of a bodybuilding device ( 2 ). 
     
     
         9 . The weight adjustment device according to  claim 7 , further comprising a central body ( 1 A) comprising a first longitudinal end ( 1 B) and a second end ( 1 C) opposite the first end ( 1 B), each end ( 1 B,  1 C) comprising a support ( 10 ), the device ( 1 ) comprising a lever ( 20 ) concentrically and rotatably associated with each support ( 10 ), at least one plate ( 30 ) being eccentrically and rotatably associated to each support ( 10 ), each lever ( 20 ) being selectively rotated upon command of a user, each lever ( 20 ) being configured to, upon its own rotation, rotate its respective plate ( 30 ), each plate ( 30 ) being configured to, through its own rotation, attach or detach the fastening means ( 33 ) to or from a profile ( 100 ) of a bodybuilding equipment ( 2 ). 
     
     
         10 . The weight adjustment device according to  claim 9 , wherein the support ( 10 ) is fixedly associated with a plate ( 40 ), the association between the support ( 10 ) and the plate ( 40 ) configuring an interface ( 50 ), the interface ( 50 ) being configured to receive a profile ( 100 ). 
     
     
         11 . The weight adjustment device according to  claim 10 , wherein the lever ( 20 ) comprises at least one protrusion ( 21 ) configured to displace a contact portion ( 31 ) of the plate ( 30 ) by rotating the lever ( 20 ).
