A device for mounting weight training plates at an extended distance beyond the hand of the user applies selective leverage against the user\s arm. The device gains mechanical advantage and thereby increase the effective weight applied without requiring actual increase in the number or size of the weight training plates used. The device includes a frame having a handgrip and a bar for mounting weights outward of the handgrip. First and second braces are situated toward a rearward end of the frame for engaging opposite sides of the user\s forearm. One brace is situated between the handgrip and remaining brace to engage the forearm on one side surface. The remaining brace is situated near a rearward end of the frame to engage the user\s forearm at a point rearward of the first brace and adjacent the elbow. The braces cooperate with the handgrip to maintain position of the weights at an extended location beyond the user\s hand.

An exercise device for mounting weight training plates, comprising: a plate mounting bar for receiving weight training plates; an elongated open frame having a front end mounted to the plate mounting bar and extending from the plate mounting bar to a rearward end; a handgrip on the frame spaced toward the rearward frame end from the plate mounting bar, a first brace member on the frame spaced toward the rearward frame end from the handgrip; a second brace member on the frame spaced rearwardly from the first brace member; wherein the brace members are spaced apart relative to one another, so a user\s forearm can be accommodated along the frame with the hand gripping the handgrip, and the first and second brace members located adjacent opposite surfaces of the forearm such that the second brace member is situated along the forearm adjacent the elbow and the first brace member adjacent the forearm between the hangrip and second brace member and wherein the mounting bar and frame lie along a longitudinal plane that, when the device is mounted to a user\s forearm, substantially passes lengthwise through the forearm.
