Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates to a barbell, and more particularly, to a pivotal unit for a barbell.BACKGROUND[0002]The conventional barbell is used for weight training and generally comprises a rod with two pivotal units mounted to two ends of the rod. Multiple weights are removably connected to the two pivotal units. The user grabs the center of the rod and lifts the barbell to train the muscles. The pivotal units ensure that the weights are automatically adjusted to a balance status relative to the rod so that the user does not need to rotate the rod by his / her wrists and this action can easily injure the wrists.[0003]FIGS. 7 and 8 disclose the conventional barbell and the rod 70 with proper flexibility and two pivotal units 80 are mounted to two ends of the rod 70. Each of the two ends of the rod 70 has a groove 71. A needle roller bearing 72, a first ring 73, two positioning members 74, a second ring 75, two clips 76 and an end piece 77 are mounted to...
