[bertstare101]

[South Side Stev]

[BackOnMyGrizzy]

[JerseyStr0ng]

my gym has these:

[FisterRoboto]

Thankfully my gym doesn't have those. Only round metal and rubber coated plates.

[germanyt]

I actually don't mind them. I've deadlifted with them a lot and never had a problem.


And these are the best plates IMO.

my gym just did an expansion and bought a **** load of hex plates, always walking around the gym looking for circle plates when i deadlift

[mirinryan]

every gym switched to those plates. so annoying. im old school and love the clanking of multiple plates on the bar. Makes you feel beastly.

That's a rack pull.

I don't mind the dodecagonal plates in any lift that doesn't require me to pull off the ground. But since half of my lifts do, I hate them.

Tfw gym has those plates. Except the red is a 25kg (55lb) and blue 20kg(45lb).

I know what a rack pull is brah. I grab the weight, take a step back, and deadlift. If I'm shooting for a pr or something I start from the floor.

[CommonPheasant]

The 24-Hour Fitness I go to has the decagonal plates. In fact all the gyms in my area do.

I find you can still do deadlifts if you use the squat rack and set the bar at the bottom rung.

Like in this picture if the safety bars weren't there:

Lmao these are my gyms plates too, they're a bitch

That's a pretty cool rack. The gym in the pic I posted has a dozen unused squat racks so I used them to deadlift. I had to step back and rep then step forward and rack though. I much prefer starting from a standing position when hitting for reps.

Pro tip: Make the edges of the plates line up with the center of every other plates.

[rcdudegermy10]

how about you push all the plates together evenly and put a clip on

brb no problems were had that day

[Kabob190x]

I've got these cheeky kunts at my gym. Fuarrking hate them. I had the plates in op mentioned at my old gym. When will it be my turn for round plates?

[PerfectFormForever]

Hmmm, my new gym uses these edged plates too and I like them? Aware me on why they're bad, don't understand what you all saying about rolling.

Doesn't work, you still end up in snap city if you try deadlifting.
I have to drop my deadlift by 100lbs when I'm at a gym with those. If I end up going home in the summer, I'm buying round 45's and bringing them with me to the gym on deadlift day

[evansanity]

Don't know that feel, only been to gyms that use plates like this

my gym has these:

I really like these plates, they're obv ideal for convenience, but you gotta remember that they aren't actually 45 lbs because of the holes. So anytime you use them you should throw an extra 2.5-5lbs on to account for it.

[petrucci_m3]

**** those ****ing plates.

[Renegade83]

USed to know that feel but I built a gym in my garage and use these :

[R.Mutt]

my gym has a dl platform w/ adjustable bar, I just set it low so the plates aren't touching the ground, works fine.

lol pls go

[edge007]

Count yourself lucky, my gyms plates are like 2/3rds the size of a regular one. Mean i have to deadlift with the bar literally 2 inchs off the floor. Poverty Uk gym of peace.

[jljbrah]

Oh lawd I know that feel, I have ocd with lining up the barbell with the edge of the deadlifting platform so after every rep I have to move it back straight- that's fine for round plates where I can just roll it, brb lifting up one side of the barbell with hex plates to make it even.

[Lastman13]

I know this feel. Setting up deadlifts are a pain with these plates, have to spin the wheels so each one is lined up right.
