Dead Wedge - Deadlift Jack Alternative and Barbell Wedge

Slide it under the plates on a loaded barbell. The wedge lifts the bar just enough that you can change plates without fully unloading the bar, stripping everything down, or wrestling plates off a flat floor. It is a simple tool for a specific and genuinely annoying problem.

The Dead Wedge works on virtually all standard bumper plates and iron plates. Thinner competition plates may sit lower and require more precise positioning under the edge — but it handles the job. Works on any floor.

A deadlift jack is bulky, takes up floor space, and is not always where you need it. The Dead Wedge lives in your gym bag. If you train in a commercial gym or anywhere that does not have a dedicated jack next to every platform, the wedge is a faster, simpler solution. It goes where you go.
