An exercise device is described. The exercise device may include a pair of separate weightlifting units removably coupled to one another. Some implementations may include one or more of the following. Each weightlifting unit may include at least one weight removably held internal to the exercise device. The at least one weight may be coupled to one of a weight bar, a weight bar threaded along at least a portion of its length, and a weight bar having a plurality of spaced apart holes there through along at least a portion of its length. The at least one weight may be held in place by one of a spring clamp, a pressure ring collar, an adjustable nut, and a pin. The adjustable nut may be an annularly cylindrical nut having threads on an inner concentric surface and diamond knurl on an outer concentric surface.

The invention claimed is: 1. An exercise device comprising a pair of separate weightlifting units removably coupled to one another, each weightlifting unit comprising: an outer crossbar configured to serve as a handle, the outer crossbar having central, threaded apertures defined in opposing ends thereof; an inner crossbar having central, threaded apertures defined in opposing ends thereof, as well as a through hole defined in the middle thereof; a pair of end bars maintained in a spaced apart, opposing relationship by the outer and inner crossbars, the first end bar having a pair of spaced apart through holes defined in a first end portion thereof and a central threaded aperture defined in a second opposing end thereof, and the second end bar having a pair of spaced apart through holes defined in a first end portion thereof and a central alignment aperture defined in a second opposing end thereof and one of a threaded through hole in communication with the central alignment aperture and a hole in communication with the central alignment aperture; a weight arm comprised of one of a weight bar, a weight bar threaded along at least a portion of its length, and a weight bar having a plurality of spaced apart holes there through along at least a portion of its length, the weight arm configured to removably hold at least one weight thereon internal to the exercise device, the weight arm extending orthogonally from the inner crossbar, and the weight arm having a central, threaded aperture defined in an end thereof; and at least one weight removably held internal to the exercise device by the weight arm, the at least one weight having a central through aperture; wherein the outer cross bar, the inner cross bar, the pair of end bars, and the weight arm are removably coupled together. 2. The exercise device of claim 1, further comprising an alignment pin having a threaded base inserted into the central threaded aperture of the first end bar and one of a tapered body having a circumferential recess therein and a non-tapered body having a circumferential recess therein. 3. The exercise device of claim 2 further comprising a winged bolt inserted into the threaded through hole in communication with the central alignment aperture. 4. The exercise device of claim 2 further comprising a ball and spring assembly disposed within the hole in communication with the central alignment aperture, wherein a spring of the assembly is resilient and biases a ball of the assembly into the central alignment aperture. 5. The exercise device of claim 1, wherein the outer cross bar has thereon one of a soft grip overlay, a rotatable sleeve, and a combination thereof. 6. The exercise device of claim 1, wherein the at least one weight is held in place by one of a spring clamp, a pressure ring collar, an adjustable nut, and a pin. 7. The exercise device of claim 6, wherein the weight arm is a weight bar threaded along at least a portion of its length and wherein the at least one weight is held in place by an adjustable nut. 8. The exercise device of claim 7, wherein the adjustable nut is an annularly cylindrical nut having threads on an inner concentric surface and diamond knurl on an outer concentric surface. 9. The exercise device of claim 1, wherein the pair of separate weightlifting units removably coupled to one another comprises an overall rectangular shape.
