We've all been there, you've spent a whole 20 minutes of your day warming up to start your lower body workout. This part of the warm up includes multiple stretches, as a result of years of ignoring your body and that annoying personal trainer, who, in hidnsight just tried to give you sound advice, and apollo creed's intensive treadmill warm up.
You're infront of the bar, you begin to slowly add weights on if you're sensible to warm up for your top set. If you're not sensible you dump on a few 20kg plates each side and start repping it out. Regardless, whichever individual you are in this scenario, once finished you're confronted with the dreaded task of unloading the bar.
You pause for a second, wonder if its worth to risk a membership suspension for not putting your weights away, or maybe that hot girl at the reception will go out of her way to tell you to put your weights away.
Your intrusive thoughts are interrupted by an onlooking gym go-er; "hardest part of the workout! ha" you both share a chuckle and move on with your day.
You stand at the edge of the bar and bend over unleashing a groan that would intimidate a hippopotamus, you have to expend an unreasonable amount of energy yanking at the plates to take them off.
At this point, you may use the small plate under the large plate trick. I have another trick, but you can only use it with a trap bar. Check out the video below!
