Watching so I don’t look awkward af in the gym lmao
Preach
same😂
I had that awkward moment at the gym today unfortunately 🤦♂️
Same 🤣
Hahahahah I was literally having trouble removing the clamps just now and someone offered to help. I’m a woman with pride I felt like an idiot and immediately searched for a video to watch
Loading & unloading is a whole set itself
Really appreciated this video. Loading/unloading a bar is what we do all the time but have never seen someone do a walkthrough of it. I learned something. Thank you.
Thanks for watching!
Took me a while to realise that there is a dog in the video lol
Ghhhhhhhh
Took me to see your comm to notice 😂
same I didnt even notice it until halfway lmao i was like "ayo wtf theres a dog there"
It's black and white so it blends in with the background. 😳
Dude, when you slid the bar out of the plates, my jaw hit the f*cking floor! All these years, that never occurred to me. I always awkwardly shimmy the plates off the bar on the second side. YOU ARE FREAKING GENIUS!
Completely COMPLETELY embarrassed myself loading AND unloading even with a bar support to roll it off and it was just humiliating lol, I tried deadlifts too heavy to test my strength , stopped, couldn’t take the weights off the last side and interrupted a person at the gym to ask for help with (light) weight to take off of my bar ... hated myself in this moment 💀😂
This exact same thing Happened to me more than once lol
I have done this at least four times. I feel you
We've all been there. I mean me. I have been there 😂 did none of the easy methods in this video...i feel so silly but also so looking forward to get back there and load and unload my bar like a pro 😂 then probably proceed to make other mistakes 😂
😂😂😂😂😂
You're a woman. It's not that big of a deal. For a man, it's way more embarrassing
I watched this randomly on my feed, and I’ve used this technique every since 😂
I was struggling to get off a plate off a barbell in a packed gym and no one helped 🙄. I’m glad that this is actually a common issue and I’m not just awkward haha.
This is the kind of elite knowledge I subbed to get. *level up*
Thank you for this. This is one of those awkward scenarios in the gym that no one talks about until it happens to you for the first time.
Just back from my first gym session. Made a complete ass of myself trying to load and unload a barbell on the floor.
Thanks to your video. It'll have been a one off!
I had avoided deadlift for like, ever, because I'm stupid and I realized a while ago that I was looking stupid trying to load/unload the thing. Great vid!
Me always terrified of loading and unloading and then watching this video like 👁👄👁!!! Thank you!! Cant wait to use these tips and tricks
2:40 : and then you just do magic and suddenly there is a cute doggo!
Thank you SO MUCH for this! I always stuggle with loading and unloading a barbell and I’m glad I found a video that explains everything perfectly
As a beginner BB lifter, this was tremendously helpful, thank you!
I’m gonna be going to the gym for the first time in my life and I have crippling social anxiety. So this was very helpful thank you.
You have crippling social anxiety but ur breasts are taking up half ur profile picture
It’s a 285 dollar bar that literally made to hold several hundred pounds. Falling a couple inches will not hurt it, I promise you.
I dropped the bar on my foot. It wasn’t injured too much. I googled to figure out how to unload the bar and this video has saved my life. Thank you. I was about to stop lifting 🤣
Thaaanks a lot! Guys in the gym always leave behind a loaded barbell and I always have to struggle with unloading (I'm just 54kg/119lbs :D)
Man i'm def throwing hands on tht whoever dude it is if he always does that
Definitely one of the best videos on loading/unloading. Never even thought about how to effectively do this. I watched other videos and everyone else teaches by dropping the barbell or using some weird technique. I really appreciate this. Thanks so much.
Thank you so much for this video. I have been struggling with loading and unloading plates and was about to give up. It was taking me a long time to get the plates on and off. This really helps reduce the time I spam spending on the set-up and dismantle of the bar.
Videos almost done and I just noticed the pup!! So cute 😊!!
Omg! So simple yet so effective! You are the only one on CZcams to beautifully explain loading and unloading the bar. It can be daunting for a beginner so thank you!
I kinda struggled with this and was wondering what was the best way to do these! I appreciate it! Thank you so much!
Thank you for this! I've almost thrown my back out loading and unloading plates so much appreciated. Especially with all these sanitizers ruining the metal and making it even more difficult to glide the plates off.
Yes your video was very good, I never really took time out to look at loading or unloading plates. Thanks
Thanks- sliding the barbell out from the plates was surprisingly novel and yet should be intuitive. I learned something!
I have extreme anxiety and last time when I went to go do this for the first time ever I did pretty much everything wrong somehow and just felt like a dork. Lucky no one was around but in the moment easy stuff like this is hard for me ,so thank you very much for this video
Typically use the smith machine but have been wanting to move away from it. Felt super awkward unloading the plate and had some difficulty.
Very helpful thank you 😊
I can’t believe I’m watching this but yeah it’s helpful to us awkward people at the gym 💀
Thank you ! I am watching to make sure I am still properly doing it right since I signed up to help at Strongman competition 😊
this will definitely save me from a back injury. Very helpful!
Thank you so much for this video. So helpful.
would try this next time! thanks for the helpful tips
Thanks man I’ll definitely use this. Loading and unloading is a workout for me lol
Im pretty new to working out and this helps a lot i struggled with loading a plate for deadlift
Seems like a simple video, but this really helped to understand better loading/unloading etiquette. Thank you.
It took me a full 2 and a half minutes to realise there was a dog in this video 🤣
Thank you. I have been using "preloaded" bars, but they are difficult to deal with as my strength has increased. I'll feel much more confident on my next deadlift day.
This was very helpful. Thank you !
Thank you so much for this tutorial. I was doing it the hard way and facing the plates the wrong way.
🙋🏻♀️ uhh I desperately needed this video. Feel like a dope for how I was trying to load and unload weight. Thank you!
I have a home gym and workouts alone, and I never feel embarrassed to myself after watching this, haha, great content, thanks for sharing
Your method of unloading is way more efficient than the gymnastics I do. Thanks
The doggo in the back is a VIBE! Chillin! Thanks for the vid!
This video legit saved my life. Gonna share it with my grandma so she can try this at home
Man, believe it or not the answer to a question like this is really one of the great things about utube. I truly wish you could of seen me, an "advanced beginner" trying to load the bar. Wow. What a mess.
This is a great video, thank you very much. Peace.
The first gym video everyone needs to watch 😊
Very helpful! Thank you 😊
Love this video thanks
I am mind blown by this hack. Thank you.
Knew there was a more efficient way to unload. Very cool, thanks a ton!
Fam, this is the smartest thing I have ever seen, this should have millions of views
I recently just increased to 45# plates and felt so awkward trying to get them on and off the bar. Thank you for this video!
Appreciate this video, brother, thank you.
Oh my god. Beautiful. Will try this tomorrow
Thank you for the video, im about to start going to the gym and dint wanna look stupid or ruin the equipment.
Thank you for showing us how to do this. i'm a beginner and was worried I was gonna clank the weights and look stupid in front of everyone. Tbh a lot of these seemengly small things are why people are intimidated to move from machines to barbells.
tq for the video..this what im looking for
Great video, thanks brother!!
Excellent video and cool dog chilling!
Sometimes, after lifting deadlifts I lift the loaded barbell on a squat rack and easily remove the plates without bending too much, its just bonus rep :D , when the barbell is too heavy for moving then I do this with my friend, we lift it on squat rack together. But, yes this was really helpful video, thanks :) .
Omg! I learned a lot from this video today
thanks mate! i'll try it now!
Thanks this was great!!!!
Thank you for this.
Also. Props on “labels in” on the loading of the plates. The “lip” towards the middle allows you to pull them off securely
Thank you 🙏 thank you 🙏 thank you 🙏. Very well explained 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
This is actually helpful
Much appreciated!!!
Really helpful
Same so thankful I watched this video. I am always so skeptical and don’t want to look awkward lol
Thank you so much!
Thank you!
2:48 when I noticed that adorable pup!!!! 😊
WOW, never thought of sliding the bar out. Will do future.
I have a gym setup in my garage, when doing deadlifts I just use two car jack stands to rest the bar and slide the weight off.
so efficient, i started a month ago thank you
Thank you 🙏
Hahahah I love reading the embarrassing comments 😂 great video!
Nice tip 👍
Very helpful
thank you so much
This is so easy...but so amazing at the same time..not sure why I never figured it out on my own 😅
As a complete beginner I've been struggling for weeks getting the plates of the bar😂. Thanks for the video
I'll never slam a bar down again without seeing your face 😂 thank you for the tip it wasn't intentional BTW. This is such a helpful video
Haha! These videos get better and better! I think I've used every single one of those inefficient methods mentioned. Will definitely use this! Thanks!
Glad you found it useful, thanks for watching!
Thank you
Upvote for the helpful content and also the dog :)
THANK YOU
I learned something!
thank you good sire! lol i now will no longer be struggling hahahaha
2:16 I mean I’m saying you didn’t have to call me out in front of everyone! 😂😂
Thank youuu
Any good tips on loading and unloading a dumbell?
Omg when you slid the bar out…. Real lightbulb moment 😂 I’ve been an idiot
hahahha. i have always wanted to deadlift but haven't because i didn't want to look life a complete idiot at the the gym. so grateful for this. shaka!
U think it wouldn’t be a big deal but is is appreciate this
Thanks a lot! I learnt something new today that no one teachers (because they themselves don't know how to do it properly 💀)
