Title: Where to buy Rubber Weight Lifting Mats
Post by: darksol on November 27, 2006, 12:45:29 AM

I recently converted our extra bedroom into a home gym.  I lifting up to 150 lbs (per dumbell ) for dumbell presses.  Our carpet, and the pad are the only thing protecting the floor ( concrete ). I am not so worried about the floor, but I am worried about breaking my 18" dumbell handles that I had to pay out the A$$ for.  I have searched around the internet and I have found a 6' x 4' x 3/4" rubber matts.  Would these be the best for protecting my handles and the floor?,  If so any ideas where I can get them cheap?  The best price I have found was $129 Shipped.  The Matt weights about 100 lbs.  They also have some in 1/2", and 3/8" thicknesses. I am thinking the 3/4" thick ones would be best.  The highest my dumbells will be dropped on purpose will be from 2' above the ground.

Yes I did do a google search, and I have already found those companies, but being its google and there are probably Hundreds of places to buy the mats, I thought that maybe someone might know of a place not easily found on google.

believe it or not you can get em at stores such as Rural King and Tractor supply. I don't know what purpose they serve a farmer but they are the same thing.About a half inch to 3/4 inch thick and about 3 ft x 4 ft or a little bigger not certain on the size,but I have seen them and they are  about 30 bucks each.
