DID YOU KNOW…

An angel loses it’s wings every time you drop an empty (or unloaded barbell). Please, oh please, never drop an empty barbell whether in warm-ups… or in the WOD. The impact damages the bearings in the barbell, inhibiting the spin and making it wear out much sooner.

By the way, you should never drop a barbell even if loaded with anything less than a 25-pound on each side. So if you have a single 5-pound, 10-pound or even a 15-pound weight on each side of your barbell, you should place the barbell down. Reason? The impact in this case damages the rubber plate’s metal bushing and/or bends the rubber, making it crack or warp. But more importantly, these barbells are extremely bouncy and can bounce into you or your neighbor making it a safety issue. Daybreak (and that little angel who keeps his/her wings) thanks you!
