Abstract

An embodiment of the present disclosure provides an exercise bar. The exercise bar includes: a first end support; a second end support; a first handle support; and a second handle support. The second end support is spaced apart from the first end support in a first direction. The first handle support is located between the first end support and the second end support in the first direction. The second handle support is spaced apart from the first handle support in a second direction different from the first direction. The second handle support is located between the first end support and the second end support in the first direction. Each of the first handle support and the second handle support is configured to receive at least one of a plurality of adjustable handles.

Claims (44)

1 . An exercise bar comprising:

a first end support;

a second end support spaced apart from the first end support in a first direction;

a first handle support located between the first end support and the second end support in the first direction; and

a second handle support located between the first end support and the second end support in the first direction and spaced apart from the first handle support in a second direction different from the first direction,

wherein each of the first handle support and the second handle support is configured to support at least one of a plurality of handles,

wherein the first handle support is provided with a plurality of first holes, the plurality of first holes of the first handle support being spaced apart from each other in the first direction, and

wherein each of the plurality of first holes of the first handle support passes through a part of the first handle support, and

further comprising a safety squat bar attachment attachable to at least one of the first handle support and the second handle support, and

wherein the safety squat bar attachment includes:

at least one connector attachable to the at least one of the first handle support and the second handle support; and

two squat handles connected to the at least one connector.

2 . The exercise bar of claim 1 , wherein the first handle support is provided with a first cavity.

3 . The exercise bar of claim 2 , wherein the plurality of first holes are located at a first side of the first cavity, and the first handle support is provided with a plurality of second holes at a second side of the first cavity, the second side of the first recess being opposite to the first side of the first cavity.

4 . The exercise bar of claim 3 , wherein the second handle support is provided with a second cavity, and

wherein the second handle support is provided with a second plurality of first holes at a first side of the second cavity, the second plurality of first holes of the second handle support being spaced apart from each other in the first direction.

5 . The exercise bar of claim 4 , wherein the second handle support is provided with a second plurality of second holes at a second side of the second cavity, the second side of the second cavity being opposite to the first side of the second cavity.

6 . The exercise bar of claim 5 , wherein the plurality of first holes of the first handle support are respectively aligned, in the first direction, with the plurality of second holes of the first handle support, and

the second plurality of first holes of the second handle support are respectively aligned, in the first direction, with the second plurality of second holes of the second handle support.

7 . The exercise bar of claim 4 , wherein each of the second plurality of first holes of the second handle support passes through a part of the second handle support from the second cavity to an outside of the second handle support.

8 . The exercise bar of claim 2 , wherein each of the plurality of first holes of the first handle support passes through the part of the first handle support from the first cavity to an outside of the first handle support.

9 . The exercise bar of claim 2 , wherein a dimension of the first cavity of the first handle support in the first direction is greater than a dimension of the first cavity of the first handle support in a third direction different from the first and second directions.

10 . The exercise bar of claim 1 , wherein each of the plurality of first holes of the first handle support passes through the part of the first handle support to removably support the at least one of the plurality of handles.

11 . The exercise bar of claim 1 , wherein each of the first handle support, the second handle support, the first end support, and the second end support includes a straight portion extending along the first direction.

12 . The exercise bar of claim 1 , further comprising:

a third handle support located between the second end support and each of the first and second handle supports in the first direction; and

a fourth handle support spaced apart from the third handle support in the second direction and located between the second end support and each of the first and second handle supports in the first direction.

13 . The exercise bar of claim 1 , wherein the safety squat bar attachment is attached to at least one of the first handle support and the second handle support.

14 . The exercise bar of claim 1 , wherein the at least one connector encloses at least a part of the first handle support, or at least a part of the second handle support.

15 . A system comprising:

at least one handle; and

an exercise bar comprising:

a first end support;

a second end support spaced apart from the first end support in a first direction;

a first handle support located between the first end support and the second end support in the first direction; and

a second handle support located between the first end support and the second end support and spaced apart from the first handle support in a second direction different from the first direction;

wherein each of the first handle support and the second handle support is configured to support the at least one handle,

wherein the first handle support is provided with a plurality of first holes, the plurality of first holes of the first handle support being spaced apart from each other in the first direction, and

wherein each of the plurality of first holes of the first handle support passes through a part of the first handle support; and

further comprising a safety squat bar attachment attachable to at least one of the first handle support and the second handle support, and

wherein the safety squat bar attachment includes:

at least one connector attachable to the at least one of the first handle support and the second handle support; and

two squat handles connected to the at least one connector.

16 . The system of claim 15 , wherein the safety squat bar attachment is attached to at least one of the first handle support and the second handle support.
