Bands

[Andre518]

I was wondering if I were buy some bands would I be able to set them up and use them in a commercial gym for squats and deadlifts?

[Eric Downey]

Sure you would. We do it all the time.

Me, too.

Yeah, you can loop them under the power rack if possible or under heavy dumbbells.

I always love the "WTF" looks I get from the gym rats when slinging bands

[Brian Hopper]

I have used mine in a Golds Gym and nothing has ever been said to me.

As long as the rack is mounted/attached to the floor

At my gym at home I choke them to the bottom of the rack for squats (it's raised). When I'm up at school I choke them around 2 heavy dumbells

For deadlifts you can just drape a band over the bar and stand on it

Right, or at least weighed down.

Yes, but make sure you have proper tension in the hole. The tension in the hole should be ~60% of what it is at the top. Don't let the bands go slack in the hole. I screwed 2 2x6's together and would use those to get more tension. If you just knot the band around the bottom of a rack, then you probably won't get enough tension in the hole.
