    I'd talk to the management/owner(s) and let them know that a better option for deadlifts would be to put in a platform. Keeps the underlying floor safe; keeps the lifters safe, by virtue of having solid footing; and generally (IMO) looks more enticing to people wanting to incorporate deadlifting - especially if the person in question is a potential new member who's reviewing gyms and wants to deadlift.


    eta: Just realized shor0814 mentioned platforms. Oops, should've read the whole thread.

    Damn, if it were me, I'd walk up and tell them I'm going to sue the *kitten* out of them should some damage happen to my knees.

    The moment you bring up "legal", you will see things falling into place.

    Just say you will slap a 1 mil lawsuit plus medical expenses. Don't laugh or smile when you say this.

    Give that one a shot. When they revoke your membership and walk you out of the gym you can guess where you went wrong.
