Summary
Bumper plates are extremely useful when performing heavy lifts. They are designed to be the same height allowing you to drop them at any point while minimizing noise and damage to the floor. Unfortunately, this same principle makes adding or removing the plates very difficult. Traditionally,there have only been a handful of solutions; none of which are ideal.

None of these options are convenient. People don't always have a lifting partner to help, you likely don't want to tire yourself out attempting to re rack the weight, and most gyms don't have a barbell jack.
NEW SOLUTION
The Bumper Block! We designed this tool to be so small it can fit on your key chain, yet effective enough to accomplish everything the above methods do. Simply set the Bumper Block on the floor, roll the first weight onto the block, then freely load or unload the bar with ease. Whether you go to a fitness center or have your own home gym, the Bumper Block is the ultimate lifting partner!
