I have been growing my home gym set-up since the winter of 2014 and I was finally in a position to be able to invest in making my own olympic platform in 2016. I used layered plywood and horse mat in 3 pieces so the platform would hug my lifting cage frame and be a bit more portable in the event of a move (there have been MANY). I also included a quote and emblem from my favorite Overwatch character who is actually canonically an olympic lifter.
