Abstract

A new weight-training device for the arm involves an arm-straightening feature. The device comprises a weight at the distal end and one or more elongated members extending from the hand to the mid-shoulder of the user. The device further comprises a ring at the proximal end to encircle the user's arm, a grip bar for the user's hand and a wrist-protecting bar. The elongated members and the proximal ring ensure that the user's arm remains straight during the weight-lifting exercise thus fully targeting various muscle groups. Various exercises with the device are also suggested.
