Basically you put it under the bar and it lifts it so that you can slide plates off easier.

Manny, what is it that you don't like about the bumpers? Not like I have a lot of choice--whichever bar I'm purchasing, that will be the bumpers that go with it. Apparently, werksan gives a ton of cash and equipment to USWA, so I'm inclined to support them just 'cuz.
Nothing wrong with the bumpers per se, I just dont like the plastic cased bumpers with the super bright ass coloring. The 2nd generation werksan were ribbed and a hard rubber cased bumper. Its really awesome.

In re: squat stands, which ones are super solid? Some that I've worked with scare the shit out of me--they just move and wobble way too much.
You can get the separate stands or you can get them attached like this:

PLATE RACKS AND WEIGHTLIFTING PLATFORMS

Personally, in terms of storage, I like the separate stands, but they wil probably give you that wobbly feeling.
