Why do you even use the keepers?

what is them?
Andrew Gray
I do it because at higher weights the bar flexes when you complete a rep. This flextion can offset the plate ever so slightly, but over the set, this can lead to major weight imbalances along the bar.
Grayson Bennett
You put them against the plates on your barbell to keep them from shifting during your sets.

>Flexion is a big word
I even misspelled it now that I look at it. But unironically, going to university has been conditioning me to use bigger words.
Ian Foster
I use them so if I do something wrong and tilt, the weights won't slide off and completely throw me off. I don't use them for bench though. If for some reason I need to bail, I'll be able to at least slide off one side and try to get out then

I catch myself going off randomly on geology terms for basic rocks that people usually don't even think about. It gets annoying sometimes.
Julian Green
Cuz my college gym forces me too

Nolan Walker
Because Im DYEL lifting heavy, as such sometimes my left arm has a harder time than my right, which could lead to injury if the plates were loose. Simple as that.
Cooper Murphy
just words like ramification/supersede/correlate completely baffle them
>tricking local government into giving autist a gun and paying him to carry it
Daniel Bell
some cock sucker keeps putting them on the curl bar, and I'm walking around the gym looking for the fucking things
Austin Thomas
They're necessary for deadlifts and olympic lifts. I guess if you're being an idiot while squatting they'll keep plates from falling off. Otherwise you don't need them and probably shouldnt use them
Brandon Morales
More weight. Man these dyels.
Hudson Jones
Plumber here, I thought they were some new design of pipe cutter I'd never seen.
Christian Martinez
this
Jeremiah Ramirez
I used to think that these were unnecessary but then I joined a powerlifting gym and those weights are really slippery on the nice barbells, even small movements side to side will make them shift position
Sebastian Ramirez
Are you me? What a random path In life that we share
Gavin Clark
yeah it's fuckin annoying when the plates shift around when you're deadlifting. the plastic ones hardly help though. gotta use the metal ones.
