How do you remove weights from a trap bar?

Published in Weightlifting 1 min read

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):

    1. Jack up one side of the trap bar. This lifts the weights off the ground.
    2. Tilt the trap bar downwards on the side where the weights are to be removed.
    3. Slide the weights off the bar.
  • With a Partner:

    1. You hold the trap bar in a stable position.
    2. Your partner slides the weights off the bar.
