Why Friction Grip
In competition, bars must be loaded with the heaviest plates first and then progress to the lighter plates in descending order. Since competition collars weigh 2,5kg, plates that are 2kg and lighter are placed outside the collar and must stay in place during lifts, hence the friction grip. This way referees and loaders can ensure accurate weights are loaded on the bar and make quick changes during fast paced competitions.
