What do you guys do to change weights on the deadlift? I have a little piece of rubber I roll the inside plate up on. I was thinking about some of those little hallowed out rubber squares that you can put table legs and such in to protect the carpet.

My gym has something similar to that, it's a large lever that lifts the weight up in the middle so you can un-rack both sides.

Another option: when you load up the barbell use one 45 lb plate on each side and then use 35's and smaller for the rest of the weight.

That is a nice idea but for the money I would like to stay with something simple.

That is what I have been doing now but I am about to run out of weights.:) I use a shrug bar for deadlifts and the one I have has kind of short plate holders. It can hold (4) 45s on each side but my 35s and 25s are the same width.
