Thanks Ryan, I see that now. The bar won’t sit still on the gym floor, rolls, they don’t have a deadlift platform so I think I end up mish mashing steps 1 and 3.
On sloped floors, I've had good results using one or two towels to prevent the rolling. I found it less of a concern than worrying about dinging plates against plates and risking the bar moving.
At one point, I was considering experimenting with making a pair of heavy material bags filled with a low amount of sand for the same thing - enough to stop the roll, but deformable enough not to interfere with the bar...but the towel method worked well enough.
I like the towel idea, I’ll call them my Deadlift Prayer mats.
