Bluefever, that's good advice. If you use a preloaded bar, you might have to move away from the rack so others can get to it. Sometimes, if you get a preloaded bar from the higher supports on the rack (like a 75 or 85 lb bar), you might not be able to to clean it up to return it. In that case, it's fine to leave it on the floor near the rack, ask a staff member to put it back for you, or ask a stronger person to replace it for you when they have time. But you can get it down by yourself, just brace hard before you lift it off. OR use an Olympic bar (only 45 lb) and add plates to it.
