Weight equipment for situps and back extensions
The invention is a weight equipment for crunch, situps, and back extensions. When doing situps and back extensions, it is customary to hold a weight plate or similar against the chest or behind the neck to increase the resistance for the muscles. Weight plates are easy accessible in the gym and it is easy to find and pick up a plate with an appropriate weight. The problem is that it is not easy to hold a plate steady and comfortable on the chest or behind the neck. The invention solves this problem with a specially devised weight plate: it fits the upper chest and front shoulders, and has two handles placed at each hand's natural path (without necessitating twisting the wrists). As they are moved to the upper part of chest. The equipment is intended to come in a collection of different weights (in a weight rack) that can be used at community gyms and fitness centers.
