Throwing down power blocks?

The bumper plates also come in handy for those first starting out on the deadlift but can't do 135. Instead of figuring out the number of plates to stack, which step to use to gain height or attempting to use a fixed barbell that is much lower to the ground, the bumper plates come in handy. Or at least, they would have if the trainer had mentioned the gym had any... I know now, after I made it past 135 on deadlift, but oh well. They were interesting to try pendlay rows with too since I still haven't made it up to the 45 plates on that one.
