Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention are directed towards a tubular exercise device for performing loaded movement training exercises and a method of manufacturing the device. In embodiments, the device may comprise a substantially cylindrical, tubular body have flared ends that extend radially outward from the longitudinal axis providing added grip versatility and various structural benefits. In embodiments, the device may comprise one or more apertures have sides with curved indentations that are suitably shaped to facilitate the entry of one or more hands into the apertures and to increase the versatility of gripping positions. The device may comprise a thermoplastic elastomer for its rigidity and structural stability. In further embodiments, the exterior surface of the body may be textured to facilitate gripping the exterior of the surface. In embodiments, the device may comprise one or more interior ribs that provide desirable inertial properties to the device for performing various exercises.
