An exercise bar and cord assembly having a cavity or nest at each end of the bar for connection with a snugly fitting cord emplacement block. The exercise cord, stoppered with a plug in conventional manner, is connected to the block, extending through a tunnel within it. The block may be shaped in any of several ways and a strapped handgrip connection block will serve the purpose. Emplacement channels or slots are optionally present in both the bar and the block. If the block has an axially symmetrical neck, it may be rotated so that the channels are misaligned for improved cord retention. Two modes of exercise are defined in terms of the cord's anchoring means?that is, whether its ends or a mid-portion of it.

The assembly according to claim 1, wherein the elongated extension comprises a cord emplacement channel disposed at the opposing ends of the elongated extension, the elastic exercise cord being emplaced within the elongated extension where preparation for use in either first or second mode exercise is facilitated.3. The assembly according to claim 1, wherein the elongated extension further comprises a cord stretching recess formed between the opposing ends of the elongated extension, the mid-portion of the elastic exercise cord being emplaced along the cord stretching recess and the ends of the elastic exercise cord being anchored.4. The assembly according to claim 1, wherein each one of the bar emplacements nests comprises a block retaining ledge and one or more block impingement nodes; and each of the cord emplacement blocks further comprises one or more impingement sectors each of the impingement sectors being formed to fit against the block retaining ledge and the block impingement nodes of one of the bar emplacement nests.5. The assembly according to claim 1, wherein the elastic exercise cord is formed having a hollow configuration and each one of the rigid emplacements comprises an impingement plug disposed within each end of the elastic exercise cord.6. The assembly according to claim 1, wherein each of the cord emplacement blocks further comprises a neck having an axial symmetry and the elongated extension comprises a continuously contoured projection, wherein the cord emplacement blocks are rotatable within the bar emplacement nests.7. The assembly according to claim 1, wherein the elongated extension comprises cord wrapping pegs disposed at the opposing ends.8. The assembly according to claim 1, wherein the bar emplacement nests are conical shaped and each of the cord emplacement blocks further comprises a neck sized to fit within one of the bar emplacement nests.9. The assembly according to claim 1, wherein each of the cord emplacement blocks further comprises a cord emplacement slot, the cord emplacement slot being sized to allow the elastic exercise cord to slide into the cord tunnel.10. The assembly according to claim 1, wherein each of the cord emplacement blocks comprises a wrapping peg clearance configuration and the neck is formed to have axial symmetry.11. The assembly according to claim 1, wherein each of the cord emplacement blocks is configured from top to bottom with radial symmetry.12. An exercise bar and cord assembly comprising:an exercise bar assembly having two opposite ends and formed of two separable portions; a bar emplacement nest attached to each of said opposite ends;an exercise cord assembly including an elastically deformable cord having opposite ends and a cord emplacement block affixed to each of said opposite ends of said elastically deformable cord, each of said cord emplacement blocks being formed to snuggly register with one of said bar emplacement nests upon movement of said exercise cord assembly relative to said exercise bar assembly by the user in performing exercises; anda bar separation assembly comprising snap-fit means for connecting said separable portions together, said bar separation assembly comprising a release button associated with one of said separable portions and a corresponding register to receive said release button formed in the other said separable portions, said bar separation assembly including an exercise bar grasshopper separation spring connected to said release button and one of said separable portions, and said bar separation assembly includes a separation spring seat; whereby upon depressing the button, said release button is cleared from said register, permitting said separable portions of the exercise bar's elongated extension to be separated from one another; and, upon rejoining the separable portions with and said release button and causing said release button to co-engage said register, the grasshopper spring urging said release button into an obstructing disposition wherein separation of the portions is inhibited.13. The assembly according to claim 1, further comprising a bar separation assembly including a release button and a spring mechanism, wherein the elongate section is formed in at least two separable sections, the separable sections being formed having one end of one section that fits into another end of another section, the bar separation assembly being attached between each of the separable sections, and when the operator depresses the release button, the release button is cleared from an otherwise obstructing site, permitting the operator to separate the separable sections of the elongated extension from one another, and when the operator releases the release button and rejoins the separable sections causing the release button to co-engage a button opening, the spring mechanism returns the release button to an obstructing disposition wherein separation of the separable sections is restricted.14. An exercise bar and cord assembly, comprising:the exercise bar assembly having opposite ends, said exercise bar assembly being formed of two separable portions;an emplacement nest disposed at each of the opposite ends of the exercise bar assembly;an exercise cord assembly including an elastic exercise cord having opposite ends for elastic deformation by the user to perform exercises, said exercise cord assembly includinga cord emplacement block secured to each of the opposite ends of said exercise cord assembly, said cord emplacement block being configured to removably and snuggly register within a respective nest; anda bar separation assembly for joining said two separable portions of said exercise bar assembly, each of said two separable portions having an inner end opposite said opposite end, and each of said two separable portions having an exterior surface, said bar separation assembly including a male portion formed at the inner end of one of said two separable portions and a female portion formed at the inner end of the other of said two separable portions sized to snuggly receive said male portion, and said bar separation assembly including locking means for locking said male portion and said female portion together, said locking means includingan aperture formed in said female portion to extend therethrough,a register structure associated with said male portion, andspring means positioned to urge said register structure toward and into said aperture of said female portion when said male portion is inserted into said female portion, said register structure being operable by the user to urge it against the spring means and out of said aperture for removing said male portion from said female portion.15.
