Jim,
How did you construct the deadlift platform for your rack? I thought there was a post about this, but I searched the forum and could not find anything. Thanks.

Fitness central who originally built the racks also built my platform. It's just 4 pieces of tube steel, if and when I build another platform I would use 2 x 4's and would make it a little bigger than my current one. I would go wider and a bit longer. I believe there is 2 layers of plywood and 3/4 inch or 1 inch mats on top. Make sure you have enough room for plates to sit on the platform when deadlifting inside the rack with bands. Right now, when I dl with lighter bands and several plates, the plates are slamming into the tube steel and has dented the shit out of it.
