Forget the tips, man the human body is amazing. To be so light that even with a substantial lever you can't get unrack the weights, but with the right stance and form you can deadlift it

[@kasarina5880]

[@bear.b]

@@gummybearvitamins1211no you don’t. The point of a lever is that it allows you to lift a much heavier amount with less force. It’s a law in physics!

[@cececox6399]

​@@gummybearvitamins1211they were saying that it's amazing how someone too light to unrack the weight is still strong enough to lift all that weight. 😂 I feel her pain. I'm only 5ft2 100lbs and before I was disabled by ms I'd have this issue 😂 I could do ridiculously high weights on my legs but couldn't lift them because my arms had issues 😂 and worst of all... it wasn't cool to have a fat ass and thicc thighs back in the 2000's 🤦‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤣

[@Mikejames1080]

There's 2 plates that are slightly larger than the others in my gym. I put them on first, which makes it easy to get any in front off.

[@Whitebushido]

I miss that at my gym hah. The odd sizes made my deadlift routine set in stone for this sole reason. Then just clean the 135 to re-rack it

[@teknoreaper9232]

same, my gym has bumper plates and regular plates, and the regular 45's are a bit smaller so you can just put a bumper 45 on and the rest as the regular plates, makes racking and unracking relatively easy. Though the deadlift platforms are a bit uneven so the plates get caught alot.

[@edwardgrenore126]

She didn't do the McGill Big Three, that's why!

[@neldormiveglia1312]

Lmao, y'all are reading this man to filth.

[@colint8259]

That's a good tip, although on observing the plates she was using - they were not circular in shape. They looked tetradecagon polygons to heave over a small plate.

[@bragemerkesdal6973]

it'll be fine, won't make it that much harder

[@anym7849]

They still roll

[@Mjbeswick]

The size of those hex plates is proportional to the weight, so she could have made her life easy by using 25,15,10 each side.

[@WayStedYou]

Angled plate will still roll easier than trying to use your entire bodyweight

[@kricku]

[@jethrojacinto2798]

I’m honestly surprised how many people don’t know this basic physics trick. I see too many people on the gym deadlifting or hip thrusting and throwing their back out removing plates 😂

[@skeptiwolf5654]

Reminds me of when I lifted. I could not put the plates on the squat machine because my arms were too weak. I did lift upper body but there was a significant difference in strength. This is actually that made me eventually quit it was too frustrating.

[@ActiveAngel2010]

I do this, bur have 1 tip thats even easier. If your gym has both rubber/round and iron/edged plates, put a round plate on first and use edged plates afterwards. The round plates have a slightly larger and constant diameter, allowing you to slide all edged plates on and off with ease.

[@StevenAcunaBG05]

Another good tip is when you deadlift over 4 plates. use this method on one side, leave other side loaded, tilt empty side upwards, snd and pull out the bar, Excalibur style

[@Condoctuc]

Works with the expensive flat plates, but most of these gyms have these 2.5 plates which are very ‘bumpy’/3D with ribs for extra grip so rolling it onto them is a pain in itself, still usually easier than having to be lifting it up and sliding on another plate tho

[@jdblazer1340]

top tip. Grab a 5 pound plate and roll the stack over it with the first plate being the only one it it. Literally takes a fraction of the time of using that thing

[@RenaxTM91]

I've always done deadlifts like any other movement, start from the rack, and finish with racking it. Only 1RM is done from floor and finished on the floor, and then just take off one plate each side and then rack it.

I can't believe she got to deadlift that without ever having to unload manually. I've never used that device (didn't exist in my gyms). Anyway, another method could be to find something to make the lever longer.
