Hi Kate! I have the Smrtft 80 lb adjustable weights and I’m doing a new training program that includes squats and other exercises where I need to rack the weights on my shoulders. Do you have any suggestions on how best to rack the weights on your shoulders without hurting your shoulders? The edges are sharp and doing heavy squats is rough to get the weights up without hurting my shoulders. For now I’m just clipping a towel around my shoulders, but was curious if you’ve come up with a better solution since you’ve also got Smrtft weights. Thanks!

Hi, Ma!
So what I do is balance the rear plates on my shoulders and the front plates on my forearms – your biceps have to be parallel to the floor. It distributes the load and makes it more comfortable for the shoulder.
If you need another fix I’d try putting a dishtowel or wash cloth folded up under your sports bra straps for some additional padding!
Let me know if you want a video demo! Xo
