Treadmills with a runner over 180 lb, air bikes at peak intensity, and dropping any plate over 25 lb. Walking pads under 5 mph are usually fine.
Not really — even with bumper plates and mats, the deck flex transmits to floors below. Use a trap bar with deadstops, or skip pulls and use Romanian deadlifts and kettlebell swings instead.
