Claim:
1. A resistance torque bar system for personal exercise, physical therapy, and fitness training, configured to provide progressive bending, explosive recoil, high tensile strength, natural twisted resistance force, and impact strength, the resistance torque bar system comprising: a torque bar having an elongated cylindrical shape, having an elongated length and a longitudinal axis, which in cross-section serves as an axis of symmetry, and having two bar ends; a high tensile cord configured along the longitudinal axis, within the torque bar; a rod bundle, including a plurality of rods, each rod having an approximate diameter of ⅛ inch, configured substantially concentrically around the high tensile cord, and a reinforced hose enclosing and constraining the rod bundle and the high tensile cord; at least one D-handle is mechanically attached to either or both of the bar ends; the high tensile cord protruding through a base of the D-handle and the protrusion of high tensile cord formed into a loop and configured to serve as a safety strap to enhance handle grip; and a lubricant introduced within the reinforced hose and the two bar ends are sealed against moisture and dust, wherein the high tensile cord, rod bundle, and reinforced hose extend substantially along the entire length of the torque bar, and terminate and are mechanically constrained in a longitudinal direction at the two bar ends.
