Hello there! I hope everyone reading this in the #northeast is safe from last night's record breaking storm. So here's a friendly tip on how to avoid a simple mistake we all have made - myself absolutely included! In the first picture you'll see a #barbellplate placed with its rear facing outward. This is very common in every gym you go to. In the second picture you'll see another plate with its outer layer up front. That outer layer is the lip of the barbell plate. It's always best to make sure you return a plate to where you found it with the lip facing forward. The reason being you can easily place your fingers under the lip in order to easily grip to plate and hold it in both hands. So next time you finish your sets and you're preparing to #rerackyourweights (which I hope you all do regardless!), make sure the outer lip of the plate faces forward. It makes things easier for everyone. I'm available for #oneononepersonaltraining at the ICONIC @strongandshapely. I'm also available for #athomepersonaltraining as well as #onlinepersonaltraining via Zoom.
