People tend to pick a lot of weight plates during deadlifts, they prefer not to bend again to put down the weight gently. So, they drop the bar, which makes a lot of noise. To avoid this, grab two drop pads and place them on the ground, positioned underneath the barbell sleeves. Remember if you want to perform a full range of deadlift your soles have to be on the same level with plates. When you’ve pulled the bar, you can leave the bar so the weight plates must land on the drop pads. The plates will land on the drop pads, and the foam will dampen the noise enough not to disturb anyone around you.
