Abstract: The problems of efficiency and safety when exercising is solved in at least one aspect while maintaining low-complexity and portability by use of the presented translating exercise lifting bar. Further provided here is an exercise lifting bar having hand grips with integral loading surfaces, the loading surfaces having plates applied. Also provided is an exercise lifting bar with a spring to and resist the translation, a translation limiter to limit the motion between the members, and an attachment feature configured to connect a cable.
