captnj, unless u stay at ground floor of HDB or your training barbell never exceed 40kg, putting rubber mat can't make much difference as the impact of 500lb drop is enormous and your HDB neighbour below will definitely make noise about it.
the power rack is about 9 ft tall, 5ft wide. most HDB rooms cannot house it.

Ermm.. I don't think captnj lives in a HDB aptment.
Hmm... why not? should be ok I guess.. check the design plan of your house.. most buildings in singapore should be able to withstand such loads

can. 220kg is considered light in civil engineering term, even 1 cubic metre of water is 1 ton in weight. if u really want to put one, then lay the heavy duty rubber mat which can absorb the shock and disperse it down. Your power rack should be near the edges of the wall, all the edges of the wall ideally join with the supporting reinforce beam below and this can support the most bending moment. The most secure is the corner.
u can call up HDB to inquire and double confirm this.

Then is like fuc*ing a girl without boobs liao. All the pleasure half the fun. ;D Although the proper technique for the snatch does require a hip thrust, i think the 2 activities are very unrelated... and the lowering eccentric protion is what makes old time o-lifters more thick and muscular than now days. Of cos they were in heavier weight classes and they did not set the same records as now but they were thicker and more muscular. hehe i dun mind nore muscle:) and slow lowering will prevent hte police from coming over to check that im not a public nuisance:) haah

so captnJ any accidents before when olifting. cannot slam weight wait stuck how. ;D lower to around shoulder level then drop weight close to body , catching it on the thighs. Thats the correct lowierig technique without dropping. although i have to admit that dropping is fun...

concrete is good at withstanding direct load but it is poor against sheer force and tension.
i think this setup will be good;
Power rack | | \|/ steel plate | \|/ heavy duty rubber mat
the point load will be distributed on steel plate which in will be buffered on the rubber.
If u put the power rack on the rubber alone, then only those supporting columns will stress on the rubber mat, the point load will be very high and this will wear out the rubber easily plus passing more forces down onto the floor.
