Abstract

A weight training device includes a splint-like member adapted to be attached to the underside of the forearm of a person engaged in exercising with training weights. The splint-like member extends from a point sufficiently below the elbow to permit flexing of the arm to a point in the palm of the hand. Structures are provided for attaching the splint-like member to the forearm and for attaching a training weight, such as a dumbbell or barbell, at the wrist section of the splint-like member. The splint-like member is curved upwardly at the palm end so as to provide a grip for the fingers.
