Abstract
An improved exercise bar for performing chin-up and pull-up exercises. According to a preferred embodiment, the exercise bar comprises an elongate member having a first upper arcuate portion extending along the length thereof and an angled portion extending downwardly therefrom. A third portion extends from the second angled portion and is preferably oriented such that, in use, the same is in generally perpendicular orientation with level ground. The first arcuate portion is designed to support the phalanx bones of the fingers, whereas the second angled portion supports the bones and muscles located in the palmar sections of the hands. The third portion supports the distal-most ends of the wrist bones. The exercise bar may be mountable upon a wall or may be formed as part of a free-standing apparatus. The exercise bar may further be formed to have a generally arcuate shape for the performance of wide-grip pull-up exercises, or may further include an attachment mechanism for use in lat pull-down exercises.
