Rogue Deadlift Platform

Purchased this a while back before the price increased. Added some Titan rubber tiles and plywood for the center. I often cycle band work in by using the pegs and it works well. Setup pretty much replicates what you would see if you competed in a powerlifting meet.

Built by Rogue and made in the USA, but is it really worth 800 bucks (when you throw in the 8 rubber tiles)? That's a hard call. I bought this used for much less, so my value proposition was different, but it's otherwise a well built, bombproof platform. My only gripe, is that by default the tiles don't sit tightly in the frame, meaning you'll have small gaps between tiles no matter what you do. I solved this problem by buying thin/wide washers from the hardware store then inserting them in between the frame and tiles. This has snugged up the matts perfectly. In short, I love the platform, a great value if you can grab one used, but for 800 bucks you have to *really* want a dedicated platform to make this worth it.

Made a custom 30x8 Rogue platform with parts from the 4x8, 6x8, and 8x8. Just have to make the side brackets to bolt on.

Nice platform, that does not pick up with band tension.

Works great, the rubber tiles are way way way better then horse stall mats but are ridiculous expensive

Good quality deadlift frame. They want to charge you an arm and a leg for their plywood and rubber tiles so lots of people still diy the inserts. I don’t see much value in this over a homemade play unless you really want to pull against bands

I’ve always preferred having a dedicated area for deadlifting when possible - the extra thickness of the tiles helps protect the floors in the basement as well. Rarely use the bank pegs, but it’s nice to have the option. The tiles do tend to shift and can sometimes cause issues with foot or bar placement. Probably could build your own but it’s worthwhile to grab if you can get a deal on a used one

Ive used this a lot when I went to commercial gyms. The platform itself is good and does the job fine, I just couldn't stand how the rubber tiles always moved and shifted which showed gaps between them. Those of us with OCD this creates a nightmare when trying to have the bar lined up nice and straight

It’s unnecessary by a long shot but I love having a designated area to deadlift on. One bit of frustration is the slats for the band pegs require you to buy/make some wood inserts. Basement Brandon made a great vid about a million years ago on how to make your own but the ones they sell are fairly cheap. Fun fact they only started selling those after Big Brandon pointed it out and they are made to the same dimensions. Would only buy if you are a powerlifter with some room as it takes up a lot of real estate without being more functional than two stall mats. I love it though

Nice platform, but it's basically just a frame. Most I know don't end up using the bang pegs, but it is nice to have the option. You need to get the slats if using the pegs though, which then means you also need wood inserts between the slats to make them level.
