Olympic Lifting Platform (8×8)

Width 96″Depth 96″Height 4″Shape rectangle

Overview

The Olympic Lifting Platform is a heavy-duty 8-by-8-foot base built to absorb the impact of dropped barbells during cleans, snatches, and deadlifts. It's the centerpiece of a serious home or garage gym, protecting the floor and giving a stable, defined lifting station.

Sizing & placement

At 96 by 96 inches and 4 inches thick, it is the tallest and largest floor piece here, so give it open clearance on all sides for a loaded barbell plus room to bail. Plan it as a dedicated zone and keep at least 36 inches of walkway around the platform.

Where it works

Made for home gyms and garage gyms with a hardcore, powerlifting or Olympic-weightlifting focus.
