    Problem is the Trap Bar is too narrow, about half the plate mass hits the wood part of the platform (corners of poly-plates eventually rotate around). . . the rest lands on the rubber part.

    I debated with myself in my mind to say something, but every time this happens, it doesn't end well . . . no matter how nice and calm I am about it, it winds up being a confrontational thing.
    The other male is pissed another man is telling him what not to do, why, and/or he's doing something 'wrong'.

    This has happened a couple of times with me trying to "rescue" the good Oly bars we have left . . .from the landmine attachment, metal bladed J-hook racks, etc . . .
    I pointed out to a bro he was deadlifting with a yellow girl's bar once, didn't end well.

    I'm open to suggestions.
    Similar situation happened at my old gym. typical bro dude, trap bar "deadlifting" on the only lifting platform in the gym, dumping weights on the wood which left noticeable dents. I just complained to management, the guy could do it anywhere in the gym, but does it on the platform while other people are waiting.
