Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin, ensure your power rack is wide enough to clear the safety pads. Load your 2-inch Olympic plates onto the sleeves and secure them with collars to prevent lateral movement. When using, ensure the shoulder pads are centered on your traps. Care for the unit involves wiping down the pads with a damp cloth after sweaty sessions to prevent odor buildup and checking the bolts on the handles periodically to ensure they remain tight. Store the bar horizontally on a rack to maintain structural integrity and prevent bowing over time.
