    Why does anyone manufacture or buy these moronic things?

      It's to discourage people from deadlifting. That's literally it.

    This is an option they're called hexbumps and you wrap the first plate so that the rest of the hex plates are slightly off the floor.
    However

      If you're not strong enough to lift each side and slide the 45 into place then you need to deload and work on your strength

        Looked it up and a Hammer Strengtth bumper plate which my gym has has a 17.717 diameter and a iron goy hex plate is 17.5 inches. Would that .2 inch be enough i wonder

    I used to use these for years, best and only real solution is to not use them at all. But until you replace what I did was either use a smaller plate to act as a stop to stop the bar rolling into my shins and snapping my legs, or a few small bits of 2x4. If the bar rolled away from me I just dealt with it can re-adjusted after each rep. You could use some sort of padding underneath each side so the plates kinda sink into them preventing roll, but then you have issues of correct height etc.

      This method+ adding another plate on the other side for a stop as well and the bumper plate method are probably the only methods and even then it's still a pain

    No idea, I'm going insane trying to deadlift with them recently. Might need to switch to only touch-and-go style or SLDLs because it's getting too annoying. The only way I've found is to lower the weight slowly so they land on the same side and don't shift, but I need to readjust my foot positioning then anyway

      If you have no bumper plates you can try setting down 2 plates down on each side of the plates. 10s should be enough. The idea is to create a platform for the weights to rest in. Not perfect but it should prevent the weight from smashing into your knees or rolling too far away

      Just do RDL's or reset every rep.
      Another reason I hate commercial gyms.
      At home I use a standard bar and with 25's on it I get a really nice stretch.

      This. Put em between two bumpers. Also saves space on the bar. It will however affect how the bumpers rotate so it's not ideal.
