The Deadlift Jack Alternative for Your Gym Bag - Raises Loaded Barbell & Plates for Effortless Loading/Unloading. Powerlifting, Weightlifting, Crossfit, Home Gym & Deadlifts.

Make room in the gym bag for this dead wedge. Convenient to bring to any gym, inexpensive and simple to use. At a certain weight, picking up the barbell end to load plates just gets ugly. Also, I was never satisfied using smaller plates as a prop to assist in a load as the barbell tends to shift and roll. This inexpensive wedge is easily portable but sturdy and stable when needed and is in reality all one needs. Deadlift jacks are great when your gym has them (and there not being used across the room) but they do get cumbersome to lug around. This works very well for quick loading, anyone can use it, and I will say it again -INEXPENSIVE and PORTABLE. Buy one and put it in the gym bag folks.

Works great, the color makes it hard to misplace, and gets the job done as expected. I haven’t got myself a rack and I wasn’t confident on what sort of jack I wanted so changing / adding weight for a deadlift was not easy. This raises them enough to prevent that issue. Bonus points for servicing as a chock to prevent my bar from migrating across small unevenness of the floor. I got two, but you could 100% get away with one.

This product is simple and perfect, I love it. I lift fairly heavy weights (for me) for my deadlift and Romanian deadlift, and have invested a lot of time perfecting my form as to not injure my back, neck, or anything else during these exercises. As I progressed with my lifting, I realized the most awkward part of this lift was switching weights out once I surpassed ~300lbs, trying to lift a bar loaded with weight while sliding another plate on or off can be an awkward operation. You can use a small plate, or clips to roll the inside plate on for this procedure if you want, but as we all know, the plate can slip off or the bar will slide out. This simple wedge makes changing weights so easy and effortless, its worth every penny, and there is no reason it shouldn't last forever. I had this item in my Amazon wish list for a few months, and continued to be cheap and not buy it. After having a sore back one day, and then switching weights out (making it worse), I gave in and bought one. I suggest anyone who deadlifts heavy weights buy one, with Amazon's return policy you can always send it back...but you wont.

I have a starter set of Fringe Sport Bumpers (10-45lbs) and this is a great little tool for deadlifting. It's small and lightweight and seems to be made of a durable material (I've had it 3 months so far). I've even used it on carpet and it does its job. The only thing I would say, it's not much help getting your first heavy plate on/off the bar, which can be tricky for someone new to this sport. But once your first plate is on, it does lift up just enough to slide on or off any other plates. Easy to roll into position even with heavy weight. For its affordable price, I would say it's well worth it and would buy again.

This is a great tool for any serious lifter who does not have a deadlift jack available at his or her facility. I bought my Dead Wedge a few months ago and I personally find it to be most useful when loading more than 3 plates per side. The main advantages of using this versus a small plate for loading your deadlifts are that you can roll the weight onto the wedge and the weight will be firmly cradled in rubber so it won't slip around or roll off while you're loading your plates. The device itself is made of seemingly very durable, heavy duty rubber and I would be quite surprised if anyone managed to break this thing. The wedge is very light, maybe weighing only a few ounces and I carry it regularly with me in my gym bag. Overall, this is by far the next best thing compared to a deadlift jack and value wise it may even be superior to a deadlift jack for most. Furthermore, although I have had no reason to correspond with LIFT, they seemed very invested in their customer service and customer satisfaction, which is always a huge plus.

This is a great time and energy saver for anyone loading up multiple plates on their deadlifts or olympic lifts. I love that it is orange (highly visible) and it seems to be made of high-quality material that will hold up for years. I have a home gym now but wished I had this in college as its easy to pack into a gym bag and take with you to the gym. Just remember that you still need to struggle to get that first plate on and last plate off - the wedge will only help you with every plate after the first. To get around this problem I load my first plate on each sleeve while the bar is on the rack and then move the bar down onto my platform. Then I roll it onto the wedge and load up additional plates. When I'm done I use the wedge to take off all but the last plate and then rack the bar to remove the final plate. This way I am always able to conveniently add/remove weight. My process won't work for everyone's setup so just be conscious when buying that the wedge will not remove 100% of the inconvenience surrounding adding weight to a bar that is on the ground.

Great value and great product. Even as I start my deads with a Rogue Hi-Temp bumper, which is slightly smaller diameter than the myriad of other plates I've picked up over the years for my basement gym, the Dead Wedge works perfectly. Safer and easier than using a 2 pounder, which is what I used to use. And my gym cannot afford the size footprint that a deadlift jack would require. Using the Dead Wedge has actually granted me a tiny bit of reserve energy at the end of my pulls to actually strip the bar and replace the plates to their proper storage! Imagine that!

Such a simple design, but functions extremely well. It is small and light, I carry it with me in my gym bag. Despite being light, it works as described, providing some space to slide plates on and off. I've used it with both steel plates and Olympic bumpers. With Olympic style bumpers, I've used it with both the professional thin ones (where the 45 is about 2" thick), and the thick all rubber style (which are about 4" wide), and it works with all of them. Basically, if you load any kind of barbell on the ground, you will benefit from this item. For the benefit it gives at this price point, it cannot be beat.

A veces las mejores ideas no requieren gran complejidad. Éste es el caso: Una simple cuña de plástico. Esos dos centímetros de elevación que proporcionan facilitan mucho la tarea de cargar discos de gran peso. Yo he notado la diferencia.

the dead wedge is a great product, pretty much perfect. I have my gym in my garage and use bumper plates on a rubber floor so loading the bar for deadlifts is a pain in the rear. I was looking for a deadlift bar jack but they are expensive and I don't really have the space for it. Came across this little product on Amazon whilst searching for a deadlift Jack, it does the job perfectly, is cheap, and takes up no storage space at all. Absolutely perfect for my needs. Highly recommended.

Parfait. Très bon qualité!

Hält, was versprochen wird: eine einfache Möglichkeit die Scheiben auf die Stange zu bekommen, wenn diese auf dem Boden liegt. Über die Langlebigkeit des Gummis kann ich noch nichts berichten, aber Erstwahrnehmung ist solide. Man kann diesen ohne Probleme einzeln benutzen, aber ich stelle mir vor, dass 2 Keile vorteilhaft sein können, damit die Hantel auf der unaufgebockten Seite nicht herumrollt und man die Stange in einem Zug bestücken kann.

Premetto: Faccio Powerlifting e mi trovo regolarmente a caricare e scaricare moltissimi chili dal bilanciere ad ogni sessione. Ho preso questo prodotto per due ragioni: - Per evitare di sprecare energia inutilmente, che potrei invece utilizzare per le mie alzate. - Perchè non è ingombrante Anche se i dischi si sfilano facilmente essendo rialzati (di pochi centimetri), purtroppo la fatica è sempre presente; questo principalmente perchè la posizione in cui si è piegati fa fare comunque molta fatica. Metto le mani avanti, forse sono stato io a pretendere troppo... Mi dispiace togliere una stella perchè di per sè è resistente, fa il suo dovere e si può trasportare praticamente ovunque dato lo spazio irrisorio che occupa, ma lo ritengo comunque un'alternativa non all'altezza di un barbell jack, dove il bilanciere viene sollevato ad un'altezza secondo me meno "faticosa" e permette di maneggiare dischi da 15-20-25kg più rapidamente. Quindi, volendo concludere, fate le vostre valutazioni prima di acquistarlo, anche in base al numero di Kg che spostate in una sessione d'allenamento.
