Lou’s Equipment – Deadlift Jack

Even if one tries to roll the bar up onto a plate that weighs 5 pound, chances are high that either it is going to roll off or the users will not be able to get their plates tight. In both the cases, they will flop over. At Westside Barbell, Louie Simmons use the Deadlift Jack for making loading and unloading the bar an easy task.

Also, remember to add the plates before you raise the handle and put the bar back on the ground.
