Re: Scary_Tiger\'s Log
My gym has a device, it's about 6 foot long and T-shaped. It has a groove to hold the barbell on the top of the T, and you put it underneath where it holds the bar high enough to get 45s on and off. See if you have one at your gym. It's very similar in concept to this but without the wheels:
 I don't actually use it though, since it's not that hard to add one or two pairs of 45s to a bar on the floor at my gym (guess it depends on the floor surface).

Comment: So today I come in and all the bars are empty. I hate putting plates on bars on the ground. I've got no idea what I'm doing. [/ QUOTE ] I just deal with it. I figure I could use the extra work required to load plates to a bar on the ground. I also rack weights that other people don't bother to rack when they're done.

[/ QUOTE ] You seem to be picking a weight/exercise, doing as many as you can, resting a bit, doing as many as you can resting and so on. Instead pick a weight you are almost positive you can do the same number of reps each set with. Than if you complete all the sets, increase the weight or the number of repetitions your next workout. If not, leave everything the same for the next workout. Going until you can't do anymore everytime is oging to lead to overtraining and excessive soreness without any additional strength/size benefit.
