Abstract
An articulated exercise bar having left and right hand weighted arms provided with rotatable handles. The arms are joined together by a rotatable hinge assembly making it possible for the arms to be held initially at parallel positions lying within a main plane passing through the longitudinal axis of the arms. The rotating hinge assembly permits a user grasping the rotatable handles to swing the arms in and out within the main plane or at right angles thereto, or to rotate the entire bar and to thereby execute more or less complex movements which function to bring into play and develop many of the muscles in the muscular system associated with the user's arms which are uninvolved in conventional arm exercisers.
