Abstract: A weight lifting apparatus is provided for converting traditional dumbbell weights into a kettlebell. The apparatus includes a support structure with a handle member, a pair of arm members that extend downward therefrom, a clamping mechanism, and a locking mechanism. Each arm member includes a clamping mechanism to receive a traditional dumbbell's transverse member. The clamping mechanism has a locking mechanism to safely and easily secure the dumbbell to the support structure thereby enabling the user to utilize the modified dumbbell to perform kettlebell exercises.
