Hey, to me the advantage of the genesis jack is that you can change all the weights (empty the bar if you like), but with the Dead Wedge, you need a plate to be loaded, as that plate goes on the Wedge and provides the extra height so that Additional weights can be added. Hope this helps.

One benefit of the deadwedge that I don't think is explored enough: Resetting the bar position. The floor at my gym isn't super great, so the bar tends to settle in weird positions. Dead wedge gives you a place to set it so it don't go moving all the damn time.

Agree with a lot of things, but with that said, Dead Wedges are not useless. Especially if the gym you go to doesn’t have a plethora of change plates laying around or if it’s busy at the time you go. Dead Wedges are small, light enough, and cheap enough to bring with you in your bag. If anything there was useless it’s the T-Bell.

Instead of deadwedge, DL jack, or change plates... consider this “easy on the floor” alternative. Dead lift off of a 4x6 x 3/4 horse mat as follows. Orient the bar parallel to the 4 ft side. The bar ends will extend well beyond the edges of the horse mat. Any weights you add will clear the ground because of the 3/4 in mat thickness. When loaded, 3-4 plates will rest on the horse mat, but you can easily add/remove plates because of the overhang. Key advantages: you never have to roll or manipulate the bar. Weights go on and off like a piece of cake. My gym floor is all horse mats. I had one extra mat, so I doubled up. I wish I had done this years ago. Enjoy!
@HeCoversMe3 жыл бұрын
I like the dead wedge...it has the little ramp to roll up easier. Once that bar loads up I think it will roll up the wedge angle much easier than going against the square edge of a plate. If you don’t want them send them to me 😀😀😀

Genesis Jack's are cheap???? the f are you talking about coop. That costs over 100 plus shipping and you have to load both sides of the bar separately. A titan full deadlift jack cost me $65 and had free shipping and works much better than any small jack. Only recommend a single side jack like the genesis jack to people who train at commercial gyms and want to take one in their gym bag.

Ditto. I went from a Rogue mini deadlift jack to a Titan full size deadlift jack. No way I’m going back to bending over and lifting, and then lowering each side separately. The full deadlift jack is so much easier. You stand upright, jack the whole bar up, load it, then lower it. Easier. Less steps. Standing upright. When you’re doing heavy deadlifts less jacking around (pun intended) is better.
