  • Assuming they are in good condition , provide a stable base . Should provide some dampening when you drop the bar on OLY lifts. Don't really notice a difference for anything but deadlifts personally.

    They tend to get fucked up in commercial gyms from lack of maintenance/ abuse. End up with dips in them , meaning the bar rolls about and is tricky to get straight when on the floor for pulls .

  • Thanks. I had looked at DIY vids to build one but struggled to work out the reasons for having them. I will stick with rubber mats on the garage floor for now. Thanks.
