Abstract
A dumbbell to be used as a weight training device during an exercise program. The dumbbell includes a gripping handle and a pair of collars connected to opposite ends of the handle. A series of weight plates having different weights are selectively and detachably connected to each other and to the pair of the collars so as to enable a user to incrementally adjust the gross weight of the dumbbell to conform to his exercise program. Each weight plate has a recessed V-shaped coupling slot formed in one face thereof and a V-shaped coupling body projecting from the opposite face. The V-shaped coupling body of a first weight plate being carried by the dumbbell is aligned with and guided into receipt by the V-shaped coupling slot of an adjacent additional weight plate so that the first and additional weight plates can be detachably connected together.
