I hate using the T-bar machine at the gym and prefer using an olympic bar and performing this exercise off the ground against a squat rack.
Problem is the more weight i put on the bar the other end lifts up and falls out of place :S

I found this homemade device as a solution anyone know of a device you can buy so i can bitch at my gym to get it?

if you had strick form and proper technique and left your ego outside and gym you wouldnt have the problem. i slap on 5 45s and have no problems at all with the rear lifting

Yea i have a training partner put there foot on it, but sometimes i dont have one which is the problem.

You saying corners are best for by yourself?

My gym, as far as I know, is in the process of ordering this. Not sure how well it will work, but the idea is sound. Seems like it'll do the job:

Place the end of the bar against any wall. Put a dumbbell over it. Problem solved. I have been doing this for years without a problem and when bulking I lift up to 8 - 45's at a time.

Just dont put no 20lb dumbbell over top of it lol. Put he heaviest one closest to you.
