    I really debated about starting a log. This journey gets very personal at times. It's hard to announce to the world things you didn't even want to admit to yourself. But that's why I did it. It needed to be right in front of me so I could deal with it head on. And I needed support to get through it. Who would have thought I'd find that here of all places. :lol: But I did. These guys have been a great help and encouragement through some tough times for me and they probably don't even realize it. - Pagangoddess

For lighter weights you could almost roll it up your body, holding the weight near your knees as you lie back onto the floor.

For heavier weights, could you make a temp. stand, say from bricks? Allowing you to then slide under the bar?

I use a chair just above my head so I can pick the weight from there.

Haven't worked out yet what to do when I fail ... (happened already once, wasn't easy to wiggle out underneath 75kg with only 15kg plates as largest plates on the bar :shock: )
I prefer to be called 'H' ;)
