Lifting platforms in San Jose and the Bay Area: common questions
Which gyms in San Jose and the Bay Area have Olympic lifting platforms?
Read the quote under each gym. Some say Olympic platforms, with bumper plates or jerk blocks. Others say deadlift platforms, which are fine for pulls but not always set up for the snatch and the clean and jerk. If you need bumpers you can drop from overhead, ask before you go.
Can I drop the bar on these platforms?
Each gym sets its own drop rule. Open the gym page to see whether it says drops are okay, and ask the front desk if it has not said.
Is chalk allowed at these gyms?
Some say so and some have not said. The chalk rule is on each gym page. See how to check any gym's chalk rule.
A gym near me has platforms but is not here. Why?
We only list a platform when the gym's own website says it has one. Suggest the gym with a link to that page.
