Abstract

An exercise bar, for use by weight lifters in performing wide grip bench presses, which comprises a straight horizontally elongated relatively long central section of uniform diameter. The bar also employs two like straight downwardly and outwardly extending short inclined sections. The diameter of the inclined sections is equal to that of the central section. The inclined and central sections lie in a common plane. The upper end of each inclined section is integral with a corresponding end of the central section. Each inclined section intersects the central section with a like included angle. Each inclined section is adapted to be grasped by a corresponding one of the hands of the lifter when the bar is in use. The bar also employs two like straight horizontally elongated end sections of intermediate length which fall along a corresponding horizontal line and lie in the common plane. One end of each end section is integral with the lower end of the corresponding inclined section. The end sections extend outwardly from the inclined sections. The diameter of the end sections is equal to that of the central section. Each end section is adapted to have weights secured thereto when the bar is in use.
