Product: Silicone Barbell Spacer (1 piece) — 9.1 x 1.8 x 1.2 inches Key benefits Safer plate loading and unloading: elevates the inner edge of a weight plate so you can add or remove plates without balancing the bar or bending under heavy loads. Faster, easier setup: reduces time and awkwardness when changing plates during training, especially for heavy deadlifts or singleperson sessions. Stable, slipresistant performance: textured base increases friction on smooth or rough surfaces to prevent the spacer from sliding during use. Features and specifications Material: durable silicone for resilience and repeated use. Dimensions: 9.1 x 1.8 x 1.2 inches (single piece included). Compatibility: works with all plate types — bumper, cast iron, hexagonal — and fits trap bars or standard barbells on floor or box setups. Design: loading groove holds the plate edge securely; textured bottom maintains grip on indoor and outdoor surfaces. How it works (simple steps) 1. Roll the inner edge of the plate up into the spacer's loading groove to elevate the plate. 2. Add or remove plates while the bar is held in place. 3. Roll the plate back down into contact with the bar for safe, controlled lifting. Practical applications Regular deadlifts: quickly load heavy plates on standard barbells without needing a training partner. Deficit or box deadlifts: use on box setups to lift plates for deficit training or when starting from a raised surface. Home and garage gyms: reliable on uneven or outdoor floors where plate handling is harder and slippage risk is higher. Why choose this spacer Simple, mechanical solution to a common gym safety and convenience problem. One compact piece fits multiple plate types and bar styles, reducing the need for extra tools. Textured silicone construction balances grip and durability without damaging plates or bar finishes. Care and use notes Place on a flat area before loading plates; avoid extreme heat sources. Inspect periodically for wear; if the silicone shows significant tearing or deformation.
