Workout And Words For September 3rd – Treat Your Bar Like A Baby!

When you think about a baby you probably don’t think of your Rogue weightlifting bar, but here at Double Edge we have the saying “set your bar down like a newborn child”!  What does this mean?  It means that as tough as those bars look they still can be broken when there is no weight on the bar.  So to help clarify on how to put away your weight and bar we have created a simple step by step process to treat your bar like a baby!

Step 1:  Take off your safety clips and small plates

Step 2:  Grab hold of the bar with one hand while the other hand pushes off the weight on one side of the bar

Step 3: Don’t drop the bar!! While still holding onto the bar push the bar up to a vertical position so that the other weights slide off the bar and onto the floor

Step 4: Pick the bar up and replace it where you found it.

Step 5:  Pick up the weights that were left on the floor and return them to the appropriate weight rack

Step 6: Help your neighbor with their weights!

Step 7: Smile!  Great Job!

 

These short steps will help you make sure that your bars keep working and your baby handling skills improve!  Thank you!

 

Love,
