Abstract: The Rolling Lever Dumbbell Handcart Method is a method of using a handcart to lift a dumbbell, that is organized with a curved front structure that creates a varying effective fulcrum for lifting dumbbells. This method solves the repeated strain problem associated with having to lift a dumbbell up to a necessary height. The operation of the method works by having the operator lean the entire handcart forward so that the front curved portion rolls forward upon the flooring. The Dumbbell is then secured and the same rolling motion is performed in the reverse direction. Once the Handcart is lifted to its upright position it can then be rolled to another location where it can then be leaned forward again to place the Dumbbell in a new location.
