What’s the difference between a competition and a training weightlifting platform?
A competition platform is 4 × 4 m, the size used at IWF competitions, while training platforms are smaller and thinner, sized for daily lifting. Werksan’s IWFCP44 is 4 × 4 m and 10 cm thick; training platforms come in 3 × 2.5, 3 × 2 and 3 × 1 m at 3 cm.
