After battling with changing plates on the barbell one too many times, I thought there had to be a better way.
I'd had enough of trapped fingers, nearly-squashed toes, and worrying about my back every time I needed to load or unload a bar. It's such a small part of the workout and somehow the most annoying.
It struck me that using a barbell can be genuinely intimidating, especially if you're new to the gym. Am I doing this right? Is everyone watching me? How do I even do this without looking silly?
And even if you're completely comfortable in the gym, once the bar gets heavy, taking bumper or weight plates on and off by hand is a real pain. Quite frankly, it's a chore nobody enjoys.
