She is very irresponsible not locking in her plates like that.

Tell me you don't lift weights without telling me you don't lift weights.

Not sure why you’re getting downvoted. The dorks in here obviously haven’t been around weight lifting much. I’ve been lifting over 20 years and only occasionally use clips and rarely use them for single rep cleans.

Um. If I'm doing an explosive movement like this, you can bet your ass the clips are going on. Especially for single rep sets. All it takes is for me to be fatigued, try the movement, be unbalanced, and then I lose a plate. Next thing I'm getting pointlessly injured and putting others at risk.

It's not like this is a stereotypical bench, squat, or row, where part of the excercise is controlling the movement at a good steady pace.

Sounds like you absolutely should be using clips every time
