Didn't know that

after that one they had another one that showed you how to use their super quality rack to load a deadlift bar and he commented in the video that since we all knew how to load our bars properly now that should help.

After learning how to load my plates properly, my squats increased 30lbs.

Great video, reps for keyboard for posting. Honestly I keep my plates facing out on my rack storage pins and then have to flip them over to get them on the bar. So does rips rule apply to both plate trees and to racks with storage pins. If so I’m doing it right but think there is an increased risk of dropping the plate on my foot while flipping it.

Im going to tell you the other side of this.
The hub in the middle(round part around the hole)is used when you use the collars like in powerlifting or weightlifting to have room for the T pin to tighten the collar on.
I can see his logic for lifting and putting weight on the bar but if your to weak to lift a 45 pound plate then maybe you should try something else.

Lol at keeping the heavier plates at a height you have to bend over to get.

I have a better idea yet . I built my own bumper plate racks using 2/6 wood , floor flanges and gas pipe with industrial heat shrink covering them .
And my bumper plates have handles . I keep the 45lb in the centre as it’s easier to manipulate

I just realized I have been putting mine on the bar backwards.

I agree, that’s why I put mine in the centre . My first design had them numerically with the 45 at the bottom . I found it was awkward putting them back on , so I respaced the plates and put the 45 in the middle . Works as good as is gets imo

I rarely if ever use the 35’s , so I put them at the bottom

Was thinking the same. I have weight storage on my rack, I keep the 45s right @ chest height.

I used to also put plates on lowest rack plate storage. One day I just put at chest height cause it was easier. Thought I was only one.

I got grip plates so there's no wrong way to rack em.

I originally put mine at chest height, but found it to be a PITA to grab change plates, which I'm moving on/off the bar a lot more in any given workout. Now that I'm thinking about it though, maybe I'll move the 25s to the bottom.
