Design me some minimalistic farmers carry handles for weightlifting.

ChatGPT’s idea of making it able to attach to your hip like a dip belt is a great idea

Twist grip?

Of course! Here’s a concept for a new type of Farmer’s carry handles for weightlifting:

Twist-Grip Farmer’s Carry Handles

Design & Concept:

1. Twist-Grip Mechanism: The primary feature of these handles is a twist-grip mechanism similar to a motorcycle throttle. As you lift and carry, you can twist the handle to adjust resistance, adding an additional forearm and grip strength challenge.
2. Weight Distribution: The handles are attached to a central rod where weights are loaded. As the handle is twisted, weights can move closer or farther from the handle, adjusting the leverage and thus the difficulty. This provides variability in the workout without changing the actual weight.
3. Ergonomic Design: The handles are ergonomically designed with a contour grip to fit the natural curve of the hand, reducing strain on the wrist and enhancing grip.
4. Material: Made of high-grade stainless steel to ensure durability and resistance to rust. The grip is coated with non-slip rubber for a secure hold.
5. Safety Lock: A safety mechanism locks the twist-grip in place once the desired resistance is set, preventing unintentional changes during the lift.
6. Versatility: The design allows for both traditional vertical lifting and horizontal lifting (like a T-bar row). This means they can be used for farmer’s walks, deadlifts, rows, and more.
7. Compact and Modular: The design is modular, allowing for easy disassembly and storage. This makes it ideal for home gyms with limited space.

Usage:
For a traditional farmer’s walk, the user can set the weight and resistance, lock the mechanism, and perform the exercise. For an advanced workout, the user can adjust the resistance mid-walk, challenging their grip and forearm strength dynamically.
