Abstract
A selectorized dumbbell incorporates a handle assembly that includes a generally triangularly shaped handle housing having an upwardly extending loop style handle in the manner of a kettlebell handle. The handle housing has angled side walls that provide surfaces on which the user's forearm can rest when doing certain exercises. The handle housing is hollow inside. Various add-on weights are vertically stacked on top of another inside the handle housing. The weights are nested together to prevent sliding relative to one another by tongue and groove and pin and hole interconnections. A repositionable connecting pin can be placed into different positions on the handle housing to selectively couple a desired number of the add-on weights to the handle housing.
