Titan fitness 45 LB Pair Wagon Wheel Pulling Blocks - 430119
The Wagon Wheel Pulling Blocks are offered in a pair of 45-pound weights, designed for athletes from beginner to serious Deadlifter. Each plate is crafted from 0.375-inch-thick laser-cut steel, features a 51 mm collar opening and a 2-inch lip that helps carry and prevent wear from drops. These 26-inch Wagon Wheels eliminate the need for typical Deadlift Pulling Blocks. With their increased height verse the standard 17.7-inch weight plate, loading and unloading your barbell becomes a breeze without needing a jack or wedge. At this elevated height, the barbell is set up for partial range-of-motion deadlifts perfect for taller athletes or powerlifters suffering from knee and lower back issues.
