Abstract: An exercise weight resistance device comprises a resistance band retaining member and a handle receiving portion. The handle receiving portion is shaped and configured to accept the bar portion of an exercise weight such that a user can hold the handle receiving portion against the bar portion of the weight when in use. The resistance band retaining member is configured to attach to a resistance band with a connection member. The weight can be a dumbbell, a barbell, a kettle bell, a weight resistance machine or cable weight stack system, or any other exercise device that utilizes movable weights.

Abstract: The present invention features a dumbbell resistance device that consist of a U-shaped member that has a first handle opening at one end of the U and a second handle opening at the other end of the U. A handle portion slides through the first handle opening of the U-shaped member and at least partially into the second handle opening of the U-shaped member. A handle cover surrounds the handle portion. An attachment device is coupled to one end of the handle portion at the second handle opening in order to secure the handle portion to the U-shaped member. A pair of weights is attachable and detachable to the outer sides of the U-shaped member. The connection of the weights is preferably a bayonet connection or another suitable connection means. The U-shaped member further features a resistance band attachment location at the middle of the U, which is capable of accepting attachment of a resistance band attachment mechanism that is connected to a resistance band.
