The most annoying thing to me is putting on and taking off the sets of 45’s while deadlifting.
that would break within 10secs
I saw it a couple days ago, thought about posting it but then I thought that it wasn’t that great afterall.
It’s still an interesting idea.

Cool idea, Also there is a device that lifts up the weight from the ground i think by a inch or 2 ive seen it in some Ronnies Vids or somewhere ill see if i can get vid
It’s an interesting idea for sure but I don’t see it making it easier. It has more steps. Loading a squat bar would be a bitch from the top and when the mechanism that allowed the movement broke, you’d be out of luck. I think a circular plate with no moving parts and a hole in the middle that allows you to slide it onto the end of the bar would be the best design. Wait… never mind.
As long as they don’t break they’d be great.
At least they’re not the shitty octagonal Iron Grip ones like at my gym. It’s the sides that make it shitty for deadlifting, always making the bar roll to odd angles.
I just roll the innermost plate onto a 2.5er on the ground and that gives the rest clearance to come off/go on easy.

Right there.
These were invented to avoid the use of a plate system like that. So the need for something like this is kind of dumb really. Specially since the forces around 700+lbs crashing on the floor would cause the mechanisms to fail in no time
I’d also be concerned that the center of both gravity and momentum are not the center of the plate.

sho ya right!
how hard is this to figure out? lol
How is that any more efficient? I guess some guys just have trouble getting it in the hole?
Ba-zing.

What are thoese things called anyway? Thank God my gym has one.
Cue youtube video of these things shattering when dropped from waist high.
Why not just deadlift with 35 lb plates instead of 45s…you’d have to add some tens, but they should slide right on.

Deadlift Jack (I think)
EDIT: Oops too late
weâ??ve got to discuss this projectâ??s aim: to make it simpler to lift weights
Hasn’t this been discussed many times? I thought the reason we enjoyed lifting weights is that it’s not easy. If it were easy, everyone would do it.
