how do u deal with this?

[carlsuen]

hexagon shaped plates? my gym deoes not have round plates.. says that hexagon shaped plates have more advantage over round plates .. gets really annoying and fustrating when i deadlift.. everytime i deload the damn bar on the floor, it always goes out of position and i'd have to adjust either my position or the damn plates.. this happens even tho i put on the clippers real tight..

I've actually changed gyms to get away from the hexagon plates.

damn.. i gotta switch gyms again? and pay more joining fees? i'm sick of that.. switched 3-4 gyms so far... not becuz of the plates but more becuz of the environment..

i joined Fitness First for a year, they had round plates.. but there were pussies abundant there.. i ran as soon as my contract expires..

i joined a local ghetto gym.. they had round plates.. but the owner was a diehard BB, and gave me shit about squatting and not advancing effectively for squatting 3x a week..

now i'm at wher i feel most comfy.. and they have hexagon plates..

guess nothing in life is perfect.. lol..

Buy your own plates and see if they will let you bring them in and store them there.

yea my gym has the same shit, i just deal with it on deads, makes em a bit harder, but what doesnt kill ya makes you stronger. especially when its 315 pounds rolling back into your shins to settle.

he made you quit cause your squat didnt go up fast enough?

 

[carlsuen]

@lee.. i hear ya..

@sublimezm.. no i quit becuz he was constantly bitching about me squatting so much and that i won't advance from squatting so much..

We have a big block of wood not sure what you would call it. It's about 6 inches high, maybe 5ft by 3ft and if your gym has one you can use that. I use it to do barbell rows.

Well you could always try to get a couple 5’s or 10’s and space them in front and in back of the plates so they don’t roll away.

I’m reminded of one of those old IM vids where these guys were training in the Chinese gyms and since the squat racks weren’t adjustable they had to bring the height up by stacking bumpers.
