Abstract:
A Barbell plate has a round configuration and has a central aperture and at least one aperture along the periphery thereof. The portion of the plate near its periphery has substantially less thickness than the central portion thereof, this end result being achieved by tapering the outer portion of the plate in the direction of the periphery. The aperture or apertures near the periphery are preferably elongated to facilitate fitting one or possibly two fingers in this aperture or apertures with another finger in the central aperture or an opposite peripheral aperture, in lifting the plate.
