View Full Version : T-bars
Reminder - BigAnt style
Just wanted to remind everyone when doing t-bars, real ones, always be sure to make the other end secure in the corner...whether you grab someone quick to put their foot on it or lay a heavy dummbell across it...Safety!

This needed to be said, well done. Seems obvious but there are way too many catching close calls about to, "wear" the bar. Even when you have your foot on those olympic bars in the corner, when your bro drops it, it sends a serious shock to your foot.
Indeed...I posted the same thing in another thread months ago...I just lean a couple plates on the end.
Gotta protect the boys downstairs if you know what I mean!

Ya one time I forget to check if it was SAFE lol and I got whacked right in the nuts.
I just jam it in the corner of one of the cable stacks. That way if it comes up, it just hits the bottom plates and I'm safe.
put a heavy dumbell on it or have someone stand on it. The first time i did these the bar came up when my buddy was doing his set. With all those plates crashing to the floor and the gym being right above a resaurant we werent allowed to do t-bar rows anymore, apparently the tables shook (SERIOUS), now at the new gym it isnt a problem
