Shout out from Lord Alan? This quarantine just started looking alright.
Too funny - quarantine humor at it's best!
Great idea!!
Packaging: It came in a sturdy rectangular cardboard box that said Yoga on it. czcams.com/users/postUgkxZkaD2JsPC-fUMkF3vxJ2echoiXZ3T9aM I didn't like how it let possible package thieves know what might be contained inside but great packaging otherwise. The yoga mat came rolled up in a plastic wrap, which was fairly easy to remove.Contents: I got the green yoga mat and it came with an adjustable velcro carrying strap already secured to the mat. There was also a warranty card. There was a bit of a plastic smell coming form the yoga mat but it quickly dissipated after using it once.I've only used the yoga mat twice so far but I am loving it. It's such a game changer to my work outs, especially compared to my bed and floor, haha! I can confirm that it very thick, slip resistant, and comfortable. i didn't look at the dimensions prior to buying the mat, but it is so much longer than I expected! Width is normal size in my opinion. I don't know if it really is tear resistant yet... only time will tell!
This was way more useful than the last 999 home workout videos I’ve seen on CZcams lmao
you're EVERYWHERE !!!!!!
Rogue Mending Plates - $49.99 for 4 pack. Expected ship date: 05/01/2020
They'll powder coat them so you know they won't scratch underneath the floor.
Is there a SoCal and Ohio variant?
Waiting for the Titan Fitness knock off version
still waiting for my order xd
It was a steal at $49.99 plus $20 for shipping. They took really good care of me.
Awesome idea Alan!
This is perfect timing Alan. Installing my mats today. I love you.
You have saved me years of frustration!!! I was googling how to stop gym mats from slipping and BAM! This video came up and it did not disappoint! So simple but so perfectly effectively - best hack I’ve come across ever!!!
We found that we needed to put a 2x4 on top of the mat before smacking with the sledge hammer. Without it, the prongs would bend over and cause the mat to dimple. That said, great idea. We ended up using smaller mending plates than you show and they probably don't work quite as well but were certainly easier to install. Thanks for the video!
I actually just did this in my garage gym. Found these when I was in home depot a few weeks ago for a different project. LOVE It.
Exactly what I was looking for! I am putting together a home gym with stall mats in my garage, this will work perfectly!
Great timing, I just put some of these mats down in my home gym. Thanks for the tip!
You have NOOOO idea how much this video was EVERYTHING. My goodness this has been making me CRAZY for years! Thank you from Canada.
Dude, first time lomg time. I been watching for a few years now. You are thriving in this current climate. Thank you for providing all this useful content.
Just finished doing this in the garage gym...awesome. Alen thanks for sharing that tip!
Simply ingenious and thank you for sharing!
I wish I knew about this a few years back when I installed my flooring; I've been constantly kicking the mats back together for far too long and now that is going to change :)
I always think you say "train on time!"
Solving problems before I even encounter them! Thanks Mr Thrall!
Wow great idea. I bought 6 mats today from Tractor Supply. I have them in the drive way baking in the sun. I pressure washed them with Simple Green and will leave them in the sun for a week or maybe two flipping them over half way to bake the other side. They reek horribly and I want them to hopefully off gas outside before I put them in my house and it smells like a tire factory until New Years. I will be going to Lowes to get these plates to hold them in place once I get them in the house. These things are gawd awful heavy to move around so I think they will be a great long term solution for a gym floor in my home. Thank you!
Thanks for sharing a great idea! I will try it on my horse mats this weekend
Thanks for the tip also worked well to hold together recycled rubber outdoor pavers and I've been stumped for awhile how to frame or tie those together. Tips transcending across all challenges of life.
THANK YOU! You have spared me so many headaches with my shifty stall mats.
That’s what I’m talking g about. What a great idea, I would have never thought if this approach in a month of Sundays. Thank You.
Never had given this a thought... but need to do it now... thank you.
Merry Christmas and happy new year to you too! :)
awesome, this is exactly what I needed. thanks for all the great videos!
This video just saved my life!!! Brilliant!
Awesome solution-Thanks for sharing!
Happy new year to you too sir
I've used the mats and the mending plates for years in my garage gym. They work great.
Glad to hear a shoutout for BCD! Been watching him for years.
Damn so easy and simple! Awesome tip and I’ll be doing this in my garage gym, thanks Alan.
Alan, thanks for this video man. Big help for my basement gym!
Geez oh mighty!! These gaps have been killing me for years!!! 🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️thanks a mil
Better info than I’ve gotten in the last 10 days of CZcams binging!!!
great idea for horse barns too! YAY! Thanks!
This is waaaaaayyyy simpler than the solution I came up with. I used 1x2inch and created borders all around the edge of the mats. I bolted then to the floor and the mats no longer move.... I feel like an idiot after watching this video.
I just dabbed some glue to the corner of each mat. worked like a charm
Love your work again
I just cut some stall mats to install on a flat bed for a pickup. This will work great for keeping them all together. Thanks!
I love how your subtlety trolling Jordan with the title.
Love this! Thanks Alan
2 minute Tuesday? I last 2 minutes everyday of the week
Just what I was lookng for!
Thank you for the support. That is one mighty Flag.
Omg. I need this hack. Thank you!!!!!
Wow, thanks. Excellent tip. Thank you!
Genius idea. Thanks so much
The 3/4” stall mats are the only way to go for garage gyms...and using these plates is that hack that you wish you knew day one lol.
Which mats do you recommend?
Awesome trick ! Currently building my own home gym !!
About to try this today… thank you sensei
My jaw dropped when I realised the pure simplicity of this solution, my ocd is now cured xD
This is the video I needed. I have 2 loose mats in my garage and they slip apart when I deadlift sumo - after tomorrow, they will not. Thank you Obi Untamed Kenobi.
Amazing. Thanks Alan!
Cool, but do it in summer! As the tiles will dilate with warmth ;) ...or just leave some space between the rubber tiles and the walls.
Thank you so much for this!
Awesome thanks Alan!
Holy smokes, such a simple solution. I’m always moving my mats back into position.
Great idea, thanks!
Genius level idea!
This is awesome, much better/simpler than screwing them all to the floor
This genius! Thank you!
Such a good idea, where has this been the rest of my life
Awesome solution
Happy Easter my friend.
Instead of mending plates I used gorilla black tape, sticky-side up. I applied a line of tape (gluing only half of the width of the tape) along two adjacent sides of each tile, then positioned tiles so a side with no tape would fall on the tape on the side of another tile, just like interlocking tiles go together. My method takes more time and effort but does not destroy the tiles or make a noticeable bulge where the corners meet.
Bro I been fixing mats since I was 16 u just changed my life
Just from the thumbnail I know what you were going to say - GENIUS!
I though this sounded awesome but I had no luck. The mending plates wouldn't penetrate the mats, so either my local menards has really shitty mending plates or my local farm and fleet had unreasonably sturdy mats
Bringing tha wisdom!
nice tip, will try in home gym
Damn you're foxy dude 😆 beard, hair, marine, Danzig ... outstanding combination. Congrats on the bub! X
Chur the videos! 💚 New Zealand
These mats are so awkward to move and sticky to the touch, how do they manage to move around so much once they're on the floor?! There is dark magic at hands here
Vibrations from dropping hundreds of kilos every day.
That, and hundreds of people who probably weigh anywhere between 50-100+ kgs walking all over them all day.
U arent natural my guy, just because u can naturally move ur hand onto a syringe doesnt make u a natty
@@T0YCHEST His traps don't seem overblown and his strength doesn't seem unnatural either. Just because you lack dedication and self discipline doesn't mean someone who is more muscular and/or stronger than you is enhanced.
Brian Patrick van Oers ik the first part he is natty, i just want to annoy him like his constant comments annoy me, disagree with the second part u don’t even know me my guy and my genetics are better than his.
Brilliant!!!!!!
Thanks!!!!!!!
Thanks for sharing - from Ireland
I got a free Pacific Fitness DelMar. Just had to go take it apart and rebuild it. Been buffin up on quarentine 💪
Mind blown! thanks 🤙🤙
Brilliant, thanks a lot
Thanks for the awesome idea! Works great! Got these at Home Depot for about $.36 a piece!
I've had these under my Agway mats for years, and they're still going strong. I put them farther from the edge to avoid deadlifts dropping right on them though.
Hey, do they add a bump to the corners?
@@NitinMalhotra Nothing noticeable in lifting shoes - maybe a few playing cards equivalent in socks.
Yo this is legit hack, thanks!
Great idea 👍 I personally use black gorilla tape to keep mine in place. Maybe I'll get a couple of these and give them a try. My only concern is a possible bump under the mats where these are placed.
Same concern here. How is the gorilla tape going for you?
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU. The gaps between my mats HURT MY EYEBALLS!
Was just bitching about this last night. Timely video. Going to get some today.
Genius idea
Thanks for this vid.
Intro reminded me of my mom when she had her TGA
If you know, I mean really know how useful this information is. Then it’s been a great journey to this point, happy gains friend…
Thanks Alan! Got my 2 horse stall mats and getting setup for my Ironmaster IM2000 delivery coming tomorrow.
If I have 2 mats, should I just use 2 of those mending plates??
Also if you take the edges of your matts and shave them to a 45-degree angle you can get really tight seams where very little stuff will get down in the cracks.
My handyman uncle got me to do exactly
this when I got my mats. 🙏
because I was wasting all of his gorilla tape
Yeah buddy 🌻
Literally just as I walk up from my basement testing my old ass floor mats
Thank you 🙏🏽
"Just roll with it."
Adapt and overcome.
Cool tip! Where did you buy those horse stall mats? My local Tractor supply store is out of stock on those.
Siiick a$$ gym floor hack!!!
No joke have been looking for a fix for this for years. Was about to go buy some gorilla tape and pray it held
Awesome idea, but if you have to take a mat out how do you separate them without damaging the mat? Thx for the help
Ah man this is exactly what I've been looking for, I was gonna use tape 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️ haha thank you!!
Love love love
this is one of those things that I am just like why the f did I not think about that???? genius man genius!!!!
