I made some handles for my plate carries because the bungee weren't too safe. 

They worked out ok, but with two issues. They put my hands in a different position than they should be (I think). Instead of my palms facing my legs, they end up facing behind me which makes it uncomfortable.  I could get used to that, but the other issue is that the plates slip and end up pulling the handle askew on the chain. So, with all that being said,  what I think I need to do is just connect the chain around the plates and then get 2 more sections of chain for the handles and connect that with a swivel. That way I can rotate my hands and the plates, even if they slip, will still hang somewhat evenly from the handle section. 

I'm disappointed, of course, that I couldn't get the 115lb per hand that I wanted. I need to figure out a better way to steady the plates before I pick them up. I was on uneven ground and between trying to hold them to get the handle in position and trying to keep them from rolling away, I used up what little energy I had even before the lift. And I think I pulled something in my quad. Not bad, but it feels funky. So today was an experiment. At least I did what I did. But the frustration of having to Mickey Mouse everything is really starting to erode at my enthusiasm.  Something has got to give. I've never liked Mickey Mouse anyway.  He's an ass.
