Description

Loading and unloading plates on a barbell resting on the floor is one of the least enjoyable parts of heavy deadlift and row training. The Body-Solid Tools BSTOBJ Mini Olympic Bar Jack takes that hassle out of the equation. Simply slide the jack under the bar, lever it back, and the sleeve lifts off the floor, giving you enough clearance to add or remove plates without fighting friction or risking pinched fingers.

The BSTOBJ can be used alone to raise one end of the bar—perfect for most deadlift and row setups—or you can use a pair of jacks to elevate both sides of the bar at once. Built from 11-gauge steel and finished with a heavy-duty plastic coating, the mini bar jack is designed to withstand repeated contact with bar sleeves and plates while protecting your equipment from scratches.

Because it’s compact and easy to move, the Body-Solid mini Olympic bar jack fits seamlessly into home gyms, strength studios and full commercial weight rooms. Use it on traditional Olympic bars, specialty deadlift bars or hex bars where allowed. For any lifter who regularly trains from the floor, it quickly becomes one of the most valuable tools in the room.
