pyramids switching weights

[fingerplays]

What kind of clamps does Cathe use? I have spring collar clamps, although they look smaller than hers and harder to squeeze. Is that because her weights are sand and may come with larger clamps? Thus, I can't keep up for smooth transition. I pause the dvd alot. It's frustrating. Any suggestions?

I am using something like "quick-release collars" and with those I am usually done changing the weights before Cathe. I am sure someone still sells them - I got mine from the FIRM years ago.

Spring clamps are about $3.00 at any sporting goods store. The ones that came with my barbell had short "grips" and that really slowed me down. I bought new ones at Play It Again Sports and the "grips" are about a fourth of an inch longer. It made a huge difference.
