Abstract
A weight lifting system features (i) one or more weights; and (ii) a weight lifting bar configured to selectively engage the one or more weights. The weight has an upstanding first end, an upstanding second end, and at least one and preferably a pair of cross members extending therebetween. The weight lifting bar includes a handle having (i) a grip; and (ii) a cross member coupled to the grip. A gripping member is rotatably coupled to the cross member. Upon rotation of the gripping member, the handle selectively grips the cross members of a selected weight or weights. The weights can then be lifted by a user.
