Plywood and horse mats? Don't want the kids to fall through the ceiling

I doubt you'll be lifting much so plywood shouldn't be necessary

If you're thinking about doing olympic style lifting upstairs and worry that your kids might fall through the roof, then maybe you shouldn't be thinking about olympic style lifting.
EDIT: Sucks that you already have kids, though. Your gene puddle has already tainted the gene pool.

Good topic. Let's discus.

not sure I would want to risk fricking up the structure in my house...you thought about putting some mats and a fan in the garage for them to use until this phase passes?

Garage or gym.

If you're talking about lifting 300+ pounds, then slamming the bar on the ground from 7'+ in the air, you might need to reinforce your floor joists and floor decking. I'm not an engineer, but I don't think they're designed to handle that concentrated of a live load.
And don't you mean floor, or are you just joking?

1) Someone you know that does Olympic style lifting.
2) A two story house.

Then you have nothing to worry about; they are only lifting upstairs

Olympic style is very technical. If you are thinking about doing it in your house then you honestly shouldn't be considering it.

lift in your garage or the driveway. you dont want to drop weights in your home

Where is he going to let people from 100+ nations stay during the lifting?
I bet some of them will smell badly.

Lifting in an Apartment
This video is a perfect example of a home gym which can be erected on a second floor. However, this gym is designed for powerlifting and not Olympic weightlifting.
Honestly, you would be wise not to have such movements performed in a confined space. Olympic lifts are usually performed in large, spacious facilities for a reason. And nearly every movement should take place on a quality platform.
Your floors will most definitely take a beating, but you also need to worry about the bar potentially hitting the ceiling or your walls.

A video camera so you can post the video of whatever whackiness ensues.

the plywood is only for a solid lifting base. horse stall mats should be used only where the bumper plates will come in contact with the floor.
the horse mats and playwood should all be flush fit.

Well you're already a tool, so you have that down

Please provide a live feed to all lifting that is done. I don't want to miss the imminent destruction of your home. These opportunities only come around every so often.
