Abstract

A weight training device comprising a hollow tubular body. A plurality of handle wells disposed in the hollow tubular body. A plurality of handles disposed in the handle wells, wherein the plurality of handles comprise axially-oriented handles and circumferentially-oriented handles, and wherein the axially-oriented handles are diametrically opposed to the circumferentially-oriented handles. A fill cap well disposed in the hollow tubular body. A fill cap disposed in the fill cap well and removably attached to the hollow tubular body, wherein the fill cap is threaded and is attached to a threaded extrusion of the hollow tubular body. A plurality of baffles disposed within the hollow tubular body, wherein the hollow tubular body is configured to be used partially filled with a fill material so as to create a randomly variable weight distribution. Two diametrically-opposed end caps are attached to the axial ends of the hollow tubular body.

Claims (19)

1. A weight training device comprising: a hollow tubular body comprising a plurality of identical baffles and a plurality of non-identical baffles; a plurality of handle wells disposed in the hollow tubular body; a plurality of handles disposed in the handle wells, each of the handles enclosed by one of the handle wells; a fill cap well disposed in the hollow tubular body and configured to prevent user contact with a fill cap during use; and the fill cap disposed in the fill cap well and removably attached to the hollow tubular body;

wherein said plurality of handles comprises a plurality of first handles disposed in first handle wells, the plurality of first handles extending in an axial direction, and opposite a plurality of second handles disposed in second handles wells that are isolated from the first handle wells, the plurality of second handles extending in a circumferential direction.

2. The weight training device of claim 1 wherein the plurality of handles comprise handles extending in a circumferential direction.

3. The weight training device of claim 1 wherein the plurality of second handles are each disposed in a corresponding arc-shaped second handle well.

4. The weight training device of claim 1 wherein the fill cap is threaded and is attached to a threaded extrusion of the hollow tubular body.

5. The weight training device of claim 1 wherein the fill cap is threaded and is attached to a threaded attachment embedded in the hollow tubular body.

6. The weight training device of claim 1 wherein the plurality of identical baffles are disposed within the plurality of non-identical baffles.

7. The weight training device of claim 1 wherein the plurality of handles comprise handles extending in a circumferential direction around the circumference of the hollow tubular body.

8. The weight training device of claim 1 wherein the plurality of handles comprise axially-oriented handles and circumferentially-oriented handles, and wherein the axially-oriented handles are diametrically opposed to the circumferentially-oriented handles.

9. The weight training device of claim 1 wherein the hollow tubular body is configured to be used partially filled with a fill material so as to create a randomly variable weight distribution.

10. A weight training device comprising:

a hollow tubular body;

a plurality of handle wells disposed in the hollow tubular body;

a plurality of handles disposed in the handle wells, wherein the plurality of handles comprise axially-oriented handles and circumferentially-oriented handles, and wherein the axially-oriented handles are diametrically opposed to the circumferentially-oriented handles;

a fill cap well disposed in the hollow tubular body;

a fill cap disposed in the fill cap well and removably attached to the hollow tubular body, wherein the fill cap is threaded and is attached to a threaded extrusion of the hollow tubular body;

a plurality of identical baffles disposed within the hollow tubular body;

a plurality of non-identical baffles disposed within the hollow tubular body, wherein the hollow tubular body, the plurality of identical baffles and the plurality of non-identical baffles is configured to be used partially filled with a fill material so as to create a randomly variable weight distribution; and

two diametrically-opposed end caps attached to the axial ends of the hollow tubular body.
