What are the Best Deadlift Mats?

Deadlifts are one of the core weight-lifting exercises. Known for their ability to build core stability and strength, they also strengthen the hip, back, leg, and abdominal muscles. Because this move involves lifting a loaded barbell off the ground to hip level, this powerlifting exercise sometimes also carries a level of risk of injury to the athlete or damage to the wood or concrete subfloor or deadlift platform. To help minimize the likelihood of either or both, the use of deadlift mats with or without a bumper plate is essential.

Sundance Rubber Horse Stall Mat

Stall mats often double as deadlift mats and the Sundance 4x6 ft x ¾ inch straight edge product is among the best options. Made from 100 percent recycled rubber, these mats deliver excellent impact-absorbing benefits with a non-slip pebble top. The durable ¾ inch thickness does an excellent job of standing up to cold and damp conditions with a grooved underside that allows for some drainage and airflow. This product provides stable comfort and traction and does a great job protecting the subfloor from damage caused by heavy free weights or weight machines - at an affordable price. They lay down without the need for adhesives, and because they are designed for equine use, these are among the toughest mats on the market, performing very well in the harshest of conditions.

Sound Reduction Gym Floor Tile

Deadlift mats that combine extreme durability with superior sound and shock absorption are the Sound Reduction Gym Floor Tiles.
