Lifting without Aluminium Barbell Collars is dangerous. You set up for a lift and put your plates in place. You’re confident that you can keep the bar stable enough so the plates don’t slide off. But little do you realise that the plates slide a few inches with each rep. On your last rep, the bar tilts ever so slightly, causing one or more plates to completely slide off. The heavy side then violently launches downward and the plates slide off that side as well. At minimum this causes a loud bang and elicits stares from other people in the gym. Worse, you or someone around you gets seriously injured. This is especially problematic in big boxing gyms, which often purchase cheap barbells that are abused. Many of these bars are slightly bent, which makes it even more likely that the plates will gradually slide off. Even if you’re lifting a light load, things can go awry. Maybe your form isn’t on point and one side of the bar goes up faster than the other.
Please note, we recommend training without barbell collars if you do not have a spotter for your bench press. This is because if you get stuck, or you put a bit too much weight on the bar you can tilt the barbell sideways to slide the weights off.
Initially I bought these as a spare, however, I can have all barbells set up prior to each session. The inner lining makes these slide 'slowly' though, which I prefer when standing or seating as the plates shouldn't slip off the barbell
