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

This is the most ingenious thing. You're going to think, "I don't need that. How hard is it to just pick the bar up slightly and put the plates on? How hard is it to just use a 2.5lb plate instead?"My friend, you are wrong. Give in to your lazy self. You're on this page for a reason. You want this. And I'm here to tell you that you need it. It's flawless. It does exactly what you want it to do: it ever so slightly raises the plates to make unloading and loading a breeze. It is lightweight. It fits in your bag. It's orange, so all the other gym goers will see it, mentally call you lazy, and then go home and think "...do I need that? Maybe I do need that." And soon you will all have dead wedges and you'll be dead wedge bros. You'll make friends. Your gym crush will see your new confidence and your multiple plate deadlift and think that maybe he or she needs a mate who works smarter, not harder. You will be the inventor of the wheel among a gym of cave men.Go buy it already.

I did not realize it was just one until I received the product. I went and looked at the description, and it does say it is just one, but it is at the very bottom of the description. All the other brands sell them as a set, so it is a little deceiving. They also say "all you need is one"... I found that quite laughable. This is a convenience product, and they are trying to tell me it's okay that it will be less convenient than the competitors? Insane. The whole point is to make your life as easy as possible when you are moving around 500+ lbs. I don't want to be moving it back and forth. The product itself is well made, but you'll probably wanna pick up two. I wish that would have been a little clearer when I was comparing prices.

Prior to purchasing "The Deadlift Wedge" I own an iron deadlift jack :-/ Man oh man....If you've ever seen or currently have one of those heavy deadlift jacks then you understand my frustration of dreading to carry that big piece of equipment to and from the gym on deadlift days (grr....)! When I saw the deadlift wedge I almost immediately became over joyed with "Amazon so Rocks Excitement" (you all know what I'm talking about, that feeling when you see something on Amazon that you probably would not have discovered in Wal-mart) pun intended. The deadlift wedge is a handheld heavy-duty rubber tool that will fit into your gym bag (NO more hulling iron). Eureka!How it works: the following explanation assumes you have weights on the barbell for deadliftingSTEP 1 -- Place the deadlift wedge on the floorSTEP 2 -- Roll the very 1st plate (not the last one) on top of the wedge (make sure it's centered)STEP 3 -- Add additional plates (typically works best for 35lb or higher plates)STEP 4 -- To remove plates, repeat Steps 1 thru 2My fitness team and I couldn't wait to use it and I am telling you we were all so thrilled at the ease and convenience from using this wedge. I only purchased 1 (one) out of curiosity. Now that I've seen it in action, I am ordering another so that we can Load and Unload barbell "simultaneously". TRUST ME if you are serious about deadlifting then you want to give this wedge a try. No more dreading to remove the weights from the bar especially on go "heavy" days.One of my fitness teammates loaded and unloaded 600lbs with ease and no back pain onto the bar using this wedge!

While my gym has a bar jack for changing plates, I have been to several that do not. Changing plates on a deadlift bar without any type of lifting mechanism is miserable/annoying and can lead to unintentional injury. The DEAD WEDGE is a convenient tool to have on hand if a jack is not optional, but it’s convenience is limited to the number of plates you have on the bar.I am lucky to have a family member with the space and resources necessary to build a solid all-around gym during this quarantine mess. In constructing this personal gym, we have added numerous tools to accommodate just about everything imaginable to cover any facet of powerlifting/bodybuilding training. In order to avoid unnecessary clutter and conserve space, we added a pair of DEAD WEDGES to the gym. Two were bought (they are sold individually) so plates could be changed on each end simultaneously.The simple premise of the wedge is roll the inner plate up the wedge ramp into its “plate groove” and provide enough of a lift to allow the outer plates to slide off without having to lift the bar end to do so. While the idea is simple and somewhat effective, the more same-size plates you add to the bar makes it more difficult to use, especially if you are loading/unloading multiple 45 lb. plates to accommodate significant weight variances between/among lifters. When you get to 4-5+ 45lb plates on each side, a trial-and-error method is necessary to roll the bar up the ramp and not “overrun” the ramp. The lift provided by the wedge is much lower than a jack provides, so there is a tendency for plates to “scuff” the floor when removing then.Honestly, while the DEAD WEDGES do offer a space saving benefit, we are probably going to opt for a bar jack and just keep the wedges as a gym bag extra for emergency purposes.

The dead wedge is awesome! If you’re working with heavy weight on the platform, it makes it much easier to add plates.You only need one wedge because you can add all the needed plates one side at a time.Using the wedge is very easy and intuitive. Quick tip: When you’re approaching very high numbers, it’s better to put the wedge near the outermost plate.Overall, the wedge has been durable and is an everyday carry in my gym bag!

The Dead Wedge is great for folks like me who use bumper weights but are looking for a space-efficient alternative to a deadlift bar jack. It's simple: just roll the plates up and the Wedge and add/remove as desired.A bar jack may be best in terms of usability, but it'll cost a lot more and take up way more space. The Wedge just stays outta the way until you need it.Note: one order of the Dead Wedge comes with just that: one wedge. I like having two myself, so buy what you need.

What a great little tool!I have a commercial gym in Whitstable, Kent, and have a deadlift jack for the lifting platforms which works well, but is not of use when pulling off of blocks, so I thought I'd give one of these a try rather than keep trying to balance the plates on a 2.5kg disc each time.I'm extremely pleased with it, and I am very fussy when it comes to gym kit.Very few gyms have a deadlift jack, and humping on plates when your lower back is already fatigued can feel harder than the actual lift, so I'd highly recommend this to anyone for their gym bag, or better yet encourage your gym to buy a couple.

Superb and simple little device that's fast become my deadlift buddy. The last thing you want when pushing through deadlift training is to be hunched over struggling with switching plates. I had looked at deadlift jacks but the price wasn't worth it. This little guy holds the top plate secure while you remove or add plates. Simple and time saving - allowing you to focus on the lift.

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.

As a lifter in my 40's, when the deadlift bar got over 180kg it was starting to get a little taxing on the back loading and unloading the bar. This simple wedge makes adding and removing the 20's so easy. This travels in my gym bag at all times. Highly recommended.

£13 is true price; simple, robust and effective. Watch out for jealous gym goers who try to pinch it!

An excellent piece of kit for the gym and so simple and easy to use. Made from what appears to be a good quality rubber compound that is malleable and not brittle so it won't break!Fits nicely into my gym bag without taking up any room.

Brilliant - simple effective idea. Will be ordering another so I have a pair. One is fine if you train alone, two will just make it even quicker with a training partner. Just line up and wedge it slight under your first plate weight and roll forward - add your next plate weight and roll back and lift - simple!

Makes stacking wights on the bar for deadlifts a lot easier...Get it as believe me you will thank yourself each time you load the bar.

This item is so simple and yet so effective. It's a lightweight and simple alternative to a barbell jack that you can carry it around in your gym bag. It make changing plates almost effortless and it's a fraction of the cost.

Very handy bit of gym kit especially when the plates start piling on. Highly recommended for your gym bag.

Works perfectly. I can't believe more people don't use this. Can't comment on durability yet but as a product very functional.

Great item fast delivery very happy

If youre thinking about it, buy it. SO much easier unloading and loading the deadlift bar! saves time and energy and struggle

I'd been wanting one of these for a long time and I'm so glad I got one. A smal, simple bit of kit that makes adding/removing plates to and from the bar less of a chore.

Great item, if you deadlift you need one! Remember to push the ground down, then after you lift you can change your plates "dead" easy!
