Weightlifting Platform Rules

• The Fitness Floor has platforms for specific weightlifting exercises. 
• RWC staff may modify or prohibit exercises deemed unsafe or inappropriate for the platform.
• Be considerate of others waiting to use the platform. RWC staff may limit time spent on a platform as needed.
• Deadlifting is the primary authorized lift on platforms. It may not be performed elsewhere in the facility.
• Olympic lifting and any overhead barbell lifts are strictly prohibited. 
• Only the lifter and designated spotter(s) are allowed on the platform during an exercise.
• Proper athletic footwear is required at all times.
• Use collars on all free-weight bars with plates, regardless of the load.
• Chalk use is permitted under strict conditions. Chalk must be kept in closed containers, and all residue must be cleaned up after use.
