Abstract:
1. A multi-piece fitness bar, the multi-piece fitness bar comprising: an outer bar, the outer bar having a cylindrical body and an outer longitudinal length extending between a first outer end and a second outer end, the outer cylindrical body being hollow and having an inner diameter; a middle bar, the middle bar having a middle cylindrical body and a middle longitudinal length extending between a first outer end and a second outer end, the middle cylindrical body being hollow and having a middle outer diameter and a middle inner diameter, the inner diameter of the outer cylindrical body being greater than the middle outer diameter of the middle cylindrical body such that the middle bar is configured to fit inside of the outer bar, the middle longitudinal length being greater than the outer longitudinal length; an inner bar, the inner bar having an inner cylindrical body and an inner longitudinal length extending between a first inner end and a second inner end, the inner cylindrical body having an outer diameter that is less than the middle inner diameter of the middle cylindrical body such that the inner bar is configured to fit inside of the middle bar, the inner longitudinal length being greater than the middle longitudinal length; and at least one end-cap configured to (a) lockingly engage at least one of the first outer end or the second outer end of the outer bar such that the end-cap can be engaged and thereby retained on the outer bar without positioning either one or both of the inner and middle bars inside the outer bar or after the inner bar is positioned inside of the middle bar and the middle bar is positioned inside of the outer bar, and (b) hold the inner bar and the middle bar longitudinally in place with respect to the outer bar such that the outer bar, the middle bar, the inner bar, and the at least one end-cap form the multi-piece fitness bar; wherein, when the inner bar and the middle bar are longitudinally in place with respect to the outer bar and the at least one end-cap is lockingly engaged to the outer bar to form the multi-piece fitness bar, the first middle end and the second middle end of the middle bar extend from the corresponding first outer end and second outer end of the outer bar and the first inner end and the second inner end of the inner bar extend from the corresponding first middle end and the second middle end of the middle bar.
