You can remove weights from a trap bar by either tilting the bar with a jack or having a partner assist you while holding it.
Here's a breakdown of the two methods:
-
Using a Jack (or Tilting Method):
- Jack up one side of the trap bar. This lifts the weights off the ground.
- Tilt the trap bar downwards on the side where the weights are to be removed.
- Slide the weights off the bar.
-
With a Partner:
- You hold the trap bar in a stable position.
- Your partner slides the weights off the bar.
