Abstract: Weight lifting apparatus is provided by a dumbbell (2) having a pair of outer weights (4 and 6) connected by a central bar (8) extending therebetween, and an auxiliary add-on weight member (10) having a central handle (12) extending between outer legs (14 and 16) removably attached to the bar (8) and extending transversely to the bar (8) adjacent the inside facing surfaces (22 and 24) of the outer weights (4 and 6). The outer legs (14 and 16) are releasably attached to the central bar (8) by clips (18 and 20) providing easy attachment with a push-on motion in a direction transverse to the bar (8), and easy release with a pull-off motion in a direction transverse to the bar (8).
