An apparatus that is engageable with a wheelbarrow for assisting a user in pushing such wheelbarrow. The apparatus comprises at least one mounting plate formed of a first predetermined material and having a first predetermined shape engageable with a predetermined portion of such wheelbarrow. A pivotally adjustable telescoping arm member is formed of a predetermined material and is engageable on a first end thereof with the at least one mounting plate. A sleeve member is engageable intermediate a first end and a second end thereof with a second end of the arm member. The sleeve member is formed as a unitary part of the arm member and is disposed at a predetermined angle thereof. An elongated rod member is rotatingly and adjustably engageable with an inner portion of the sleeve member and extends outwardly toward such user. A bicep cup member having a predetermined shape is engageable on a first side thereof with an end of the elongated rod member. The bicep cup member is engageable on a second side thereof with a users upper arm when pushing such wheelbarrow.

I claim: 1. An apparatus engageable with a wheelbarrow for assisting a user in pushing said wheelbarrow, said apparatus comprising: (a) at least one mounting plate formed of a first predetermined material and having a first predetermined shape engaged with a predetermined portion of said wheelbarrow; (b) a telescoping arm member being pivotably engaged on a first end thereof with said at least one mounting plate such that said telescoping arm member is pivotably adjustable relative to said at least one mounting plate; (c) a sleeve member engaged intermediate a first end and a second end thereof with a second end of said telescoping arm member, said sleeve member formed as a part of said telescoping arm member and disposed at a predetermined angle thereof; (d) an elongated rod member rotatingly and adjustably engaged with an inner portion of said sleeve member and extending outward therefrom; and (e) a bicep cup member having a second predetermined shape and engaged on a first side thereof with an end of said elongated rod member, said bicep cup member engageable on a second side thereof with a users upper arm when pushing said wheelbarrow. 2. The apparatus, according to claim 1, wherein said second predetermined shape of said bicep cup is arcuate and configured to conform to said upper arm of said user pushing said wheelbarrow. 3. The apparatus, according to claim 2, wherein said elongated rod member being rotatingly and adjustably engaged with said sleeve member permits said bicep cup to be adjusted so that it is configured to form a comfortable engagement with said users arm. 4. The apparatus, according to claim 1, wherein said at least one mounting plate is engaged to said wheelbarrow by means of nuts and bolts. 5. The apparatus, according to claim 1, wherein said predetermined portion of said wheelbarrow is a handle member of said wheelbarrow. 6. The apparatus, according to claim 1, wherein said elongated rod member is secured to said inner portion of said sleeve member by means of a locking nut. 7. The apparatus, according to claim 1, wherein said first predetermined shape of said at least one mounting plate is pie shaped. 8. The apparatus, according to claim 7, wherein said mounting plate with said pie shape has a plurality of apertures disposed on an arcuate portion of said mounting plate. 9. The apparatus, according to claim 8, wherein said apertures are used for adjusting an angle at which said telescoping arm member is engaged with said mounting plate. 10. The apparatus, according to claim 1, wherein said first predetermined material is selected from one of plastic and metal. 11. The apparatus, according to claim 10, wherein said first predetermined material is metal. 12. The apparatus, according to claim 11, wherein said metal is aluminum. 13. The apparatus, according to claim 1, wherein said telescoping arm member is secured to said mounting plate by means of nuts and bolts. 14. The apparatus, according to claim 1, wherein said second predetermined material is selected from one of plastic and metal. 15. The apparatus, according to claim 14, wherein said second predetermined material is metal. 16. The apparatus, according to claim 15, wherein said metal is aluminum. 17. The apparatus, according to claim 1, wherein said sleeve member is formed as a unitary part of said telescoping arm member.
