Abstract: An exercise apparatus is provided for strengthening the wrists, forearms and chest of a user through manipulation of a compact easy to use assembly. The apparatus includes a first handle and a shaft extending from the first handle. A protrusion extends from the shaft and is positioned proximate a distal end of the shaft relative to the first handle. A second handle has a cylindrical inner wall forming a chamber extending into the second handle from an opening in a first end of the second handle. The chamber is shaped to receive the shaft. A biasing member is positioned between the first handle and the second handle. The biasing member is compressed when the shaft is inserted into the chamber.
