Re: Where to get 3/4" rubber flooring
I bought 100 sheets and they gave me a 20% discount. Brought it down to $32 a sheet. The employee was shocked that I'd want that many. He was even more shocked when I went back and bought 25 more.

Re: Hearing impaired scam?
What's their end game though? How do you scam someone like that? Sure, you could book appointments promising to pay and then just not show up - that would just **** the gym owner off. How are they...

Re: Concrete floor/cracking/crumbling/craters
I know very little about concrete flooring, but I do know 2" of concrete is way too thin for dropping deadlifts. What are your lease terms? How many months do you have left? If you know someone is...
