Abstract: A barbell is disclosed having a pair of handles disposed along the length thereof equidistant from the ends of the barbell. The handles are rotatable through an axis transverse to the long axis of the plane of the barbell, so that the handle can be rotated to position comfortable to a user's arms for performing various exercises. The barbell is also optionally adjustable in length so that the handles can be positioned at a predetermined distance from each other.

Abstract: A convertible exercise bench includes a bench frame having a generally horizontal plane and two movable barbell suport members that may be positioned along a horizontal axis of the frame. The bench includes a platform having a head section and a foot section, pivotally joined at a location intermediate the ends of the bench, so that the platform may be configured in a V-shaped, or inverse thereof, an incline or a decline respective to the horizontal axis of the bench. A removable support member is used to support the head section, independent of the movable vertical barbell supports, and a lockable leg exercise member is attached to the foot section end of the bench.
