STOP wrestling with your weights like it’s arm day

Here’s the slickest way to load the bar for hip thrusts & deadlifts… and it’s way easier than you think.

🪡 I call it: Threading the Needle 🪡

Here’s how it works:

1. Stand your 45lb plate upright

2. Slide the bar through the hole (like threading a needle)

3. Bring the second 45 up to the bar’s edge

4. Lift + push it right on — smooth as butter

No more awkward tilts. No more grunting before the lift even starts.
