[0038] As people become more health-conscious, fitness has become a lifestyle habit for more and more people. During fitness training, using professional fitness equipment for targeted strength training is crucial to improving training effectiveness. Traditional handle designs are usually quite simple, with the hands completely wrapped around the handles, meaning users can only pull vertically. This single movement pattern not only easily leads to muscle fatigue but also provides insufficient stimulation to the muscles on the outer back, affecting the comprehensiveness and effectiveness of the training.
[0039] Therefore, such as Figures 1 to 4As shown, the present invention proposes a somatosensory enhancement muscle sculpting handle for strength training, which includes a handle 100 and a protrusion 110 at the end of the handle 100. Specifically, the peripheral wall of the handle 100 is adapted for the palm and fingers to be gripped together. After the palm and fingers are gripped together, the thumb can be raised backward to raise the web of the thumb and push against the outer wall of the protrusion 110 during strength training. It should be noted that by setting a protrusion 110 at the end of the handle 100, the user's thumb can naturally curl backward when gripping, thereby raising the web of the hand and providing better hand support during strength training. In application, when the palm and fingers are clenched together, the thumb curls backward and presses against the outer wall of the protrusion 110, reducing the force exerted by the forearm and biceps muscles, and improving the focus of the back muscles. This unique design allows the user's hand to be naturally tilted outward when performing pulling movements, that is, the center line of the hand after clenching is tilted with the center line of the handle 100, thereby better activating the outer back muscles and providing a stronger muscle sculpting effect. In addition, the design of the protrusion 110 also reduces hand fatigue during long-term training, improves training endurance and safety, and allows users to obtain a better training experience and effect when performing strength training.
[0040] In some embodiments, the handle's peripheral wall has a cylindrical shape (not shown in the figure), allowing for direct hand grip, but the grip is not ideal and is not conducive to applying force during strength training. In some embodiments of this invention, further reference is made... Figure 1 and Figure 3 The handle 100's perimeter is designed to mimic the shape of a hand, making its shape more closely conform to the natural contours of the palm and fingers. This significantly improves grip comfort and enhances hand stability during strength training. Simply put, the hand-like handle 100 better adapts to the curvature of the palm and fingers, reducing pressure points and thus alleviating hand fatigue. This ergonomic design allows users to maintain a comfortable grip even during extended strength training sessions, preventing training interruptions due to hand discomfort. Furthermore, the hand-like handle 100 better distributes force across the hand, reducing localized pressure and further improving training safety and effectiveness.
[0041] In some strength training applications, due to the need for frequent exertion or sweaty hands after prolonged use, hands may slip off the handles. To address this, in some embodiments of this invention, such as... Figure 1As shown, the palm and fingers are gathered around the center of the handle 100, reducing the possibility of hand slippage or displacement during training. This helps users maintain a more natural and relaxed hand position when performing pulling movements, allowing for better concentration of force and improved training effectiveness. Furthermore, the grip position in the center of the handle 100 allows the palm and fingers to naturally converge, forming a stable grip point. This not only improves grip comfort and stability but also optimizes the biomechanical distribution of the hand during strength training. It also helps reduce localized pressure on the hand, avoiding fatigue and discomfort caused by prolonged training, further enhancing the user's training experience and safety.
[0042] Furthermore, in some embodiments of this invention, the protrusion 110 gradually narrows towards the side away from the center of the handle 100, facilitating the inward pressing force of the thumb. This helps to distribute the force on the thumb, reduce local pressure points, and avoid thumb fatigue and pain caused by prolonged training. For example, it effectively avoids pain caused by the pressing force from the bone at the thumb joint, redirecting the force to the soft flesh of the thumb against the protrusion 110. Thus, when the thumb is clenched, the soft flesh can more naturally conform to the protrusion 110, reducing discomfort during gripping and providing more effective support and power output during training. Especially during pulling movements, the thumb can better press against the outer wall of the protrusion 110, thereby enhancing the grip strength and stability of the hand. This not only improves the user's training comfort but also extends the training duration, allowing the user to maintain efficient training for a longer period.
[0043] Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 4In some embodiments of this invention, along the encircling grip direction towards the handle 100, the outer wall surface of the protrusion 110 is a curved surface 111 extending away from the center line of the handle 100, to accommodate different degrees of thumb elevation. This ensures good support and comfort for the thumb at various elevation levels, making it suitable for users with different thumb characteristics and enhancing the flexibility and adaptability of the same user during strength training. It should be noted that this curved surface 111 design provides uniform support for the thumb under different angles and pressures, avoiding the creation of localized pressure points, thereby reducing hand fatigue, improving training endurance, and providing users with a more efficient and safer training tool for a gradual progression. Furthermore, in some embodiments of this invention, the protrusion 110 has a stop concave surface 112 at one end along the encircling grip direction towards the handle 100. The flatness of the stop concave surface 112 is greater than that of the curved surface 111, providing a clear support point for the thumb, allowing the thumb to more firmly rest against the protrusion 110 when encircling. This design not only reduces the possibility of the thumb sliding or shifting during high-intensity training but also enhances the grip strength and stability of the entire hand. Due to the high flatness of the stop concave surface 112, the contact surface with the thumb is smoother, reducing friction and discomfort, allowing the user to maintain a comfortable grip during long-term training, significantly improving the grip stability and safety of the user during strength training.
[0044] Refer to Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 In some embodiments of this utility model, a receiving groove 200 is provided on the lower side of the protrusion 110. The receiving groove 200 is located at one end along the encircling grip direction away from the handle 100, and the receiving groove 200 is suitable for accommodating the thumb so that the thumb can grip around it. In addition to providing a raised thumb grip, the handle also provides a full grip, further improving the versatility of the handle and the flexibility of user use. Among them, the raised thumb grip is more suitable for pulling movements in strength training; the full grip is more in line with the ergonomic grip gesture and is more comfortable to use, but it is not suitable for strength training that focuses on muscle sculpting. In some applications, users use the full grip in low-intensity training and the raised thumb grip in high-intensity training to better feel the sculpting effect on the back muscles. It should be noted that in the field of sports and fitness, "sculpting" usually refers to precise and targeted training of specific muscle groups to achieve clear muscle lines and improved muscle strength. This training method emphasizes precise control and efficient stimulation of the target muscles, rather than a large-scale full-body workout. For example, by using specific movements and equipment to sculpt the chest, abdominal, and shoulder muscles, these muscle groups can become more toned and shapely.
[0045] like Figure 2As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, the handle further includes a connecting shaft 300, with the handle 100 sleeved on and rotatably engaged with the connecting shaft 300. A connector 400 is connected to the end of the connecting shaft 300, which is used to connect to the resistance output module. By adding a connecting shaft 300 and sleeved the handle 100 on it to achieve a rotatable engagement, and with the connector 400 connected to the end of the connecting shaft 300 for connection to the resistance output module, the multifunctionality and adaptability of the handle are significantly improved, providing users with a more flexible and efficient training tool. The design of the connecting shaft 300 allows the handle 100 to rotate freely relative to it. This not only improves the flexibility of the handle 100 in different training movements but also allows users to adjust the angle and position of their hands as needed during pulling movements, thus better adapting to different training requirements. This rotatable engagement design reduces the fixed constraints on the hand during training, allowing the hand to move more naturally and improving training comfort and effectiveness. Specifically, the length of the connecting shaft 300 is greater than the length of the handle 100. There are two connecting parts 400. Both ends of the connecting shaft 300 have threaded holes, and the connecting parts 400 are screwed into these holes one-to-one, preventing the handle 100 from detaching from the end face of the connecting shaft 300. The structure is simple, and the handle 100 can rotate 360°. Specifically, the greater length of the connecting shaft 300 ensures that the handle 100 can rotate freely after overall installation, thus maintaining its flexibility and freedom of movement. Simultaneously, the screw-in design of the threaded holes at both ends of the connecting shaft 300 and the connecting parts 400 not only ensures a secure connection between the handle 100 and the connecting shaft 300 but also effectively prevents the handle 100 from detaching from the connecting shaft 300 during high-intensity training. This significantly enhances the overall structural strength of the handle and reduces potential safety hazards during training. On the other hand, the screw-in design of the connector 400 makes installation and disassembly more convenient. Users can quickly change the handle according to different training needs, improving the flexibility and diversity of training. This allows users to quickly change and adjust the handle according to different training scenarios, enhancing the convenience and diversity of training. Furthermore, the presence of connectors 400 at both ends allows for more flexible connection to the resistance output module, enabling selection of the load force output direction relative to the hand. In some embodiments, the end of the connector 400 is equipped with a ring buckle, facilitating easy connection to the tension rope of the resistance output module. In some embodiments, a washer is provided between the connector 400 and the connecting shaft 300. When the connector 400 and the connecting shaft 300 are threaded together, the washer can press against the end face of the connecting shaft 300. Since the length of the connecting shaft 300 is greater than the length of the handle 100, the handle 100 can move between the two washeres.
[0046] Further reference Figure 6The T-bar handle according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a handle 500 and two somatosensory muscle sculpting handles for strength training according to an embodiment of the present invention, wherein the two somatosensory muscle sculpting handles are respectively connected to both ends of the handle 500 for use by the user's left and right hands. By connecting two motion-enhanced muscle-sculpting handles for strength training to both ends of the bar 500, a more comprehensive and efficient training tool is provided to the user. Each handle is equipped with a special protrusion 110, allowing the user's thumb to naturally curl backward and raise the web of the hand when gripping, resulting in an outward tilt of the hand during the pulling motion. This design not only significantly improves grip comfort and stability but also better activates the muscles on the outer back, providing a stronger muscle-sculpting effect. Simultaneously, the T-bar design allows users to perform symmetrical strength training with both hands simultaneously, ensuring balanced development of muscles on both sides and avoiding muscle imbalances that may result from unilateral training. Furthermore, the T-bar structure offers more training variations; users can choose different grips according to different training needs, such as a full grip or a raised web of the hand grip, thereby achieving a more comprehensive strength training effect. This not only improves training efficiency and effectiveness but also enhances training safety and comfort, providing users with an ideal choice of fitness equipment.
