A safety weight lifting frame 10 comprising a generally omega shaped bar 12 having weight supporting lateral extensions 14 on the ends thereof. Lift arms 16 are pivotally connected to opposite sides of the bar for movement in generally vertical planes. Swivel couplings 23 at the upper ends of the arms removably support either separate handles 24 or a continuous bar 30. The pivoted arms lower the center of gravity of the weight frame and permit a user to exercise a muscle group through the full range of motion in a single lift.

[ Having described my invention I claim:] [1.] A safety weight lifting apparatus comprising:a weight supporting bar having a generally U-shaped central portion and laterally, outwardly extending weight support extensions integrally secured to each end of the U-shaped portion, said U-shaped portion being located in a generally horizontal plane,pivot means secured to said bar adjacent each juncture of said U-shaped portion with said weight support extensions,a pair of elongated lift arms having upper and lower ends each pivotally connected to a respective said pivot means at a lower end thereof for movement about said pivot means only in a generally vertical plane common to both arms, each elongated lift arm including a generally centrally located longitudinally extending first axis,a swivel coupling rotatably connected to the upper end of each lift arm for rotation about said first axis, and handle means rotatably connected to each said coupling for rotation about a second axis generally perpendicular to said first axis, whereby a user may grasp said handle means and raise said U-shaped frame and weight support extensions while maintaining said U-shaped frame in a generally horizontal plane and permitting the user to concurrently move his hands and said handle means in said generally vertical plane toward each other into substantial engagement.
