Also I plan to invest in bumper plates with the rack I purchase so I don't think there should be much impact to the concrete underneath. Just wanted to make sure I am good or if anyone has done this and regretted it. From what I have read, typically the recommendations on the forum are to get bumper plates as well as some kind of flooring to protect concrete. just wanted some opinions on my specific setup.
Thanks!
