at least two side walls coupled to the weight platform;
wherein:
the curved weight platform has the upward concave shape starting from the at least two side walls; and
the curved weight platform is made of a semi-flexible material such that an inward force is exerted at a top of the at least two side walls when the item of exercise equipment is disposed on the curved weight platform.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The system of claim 1, wherein the curved weight platform further comprises a bump extending upwardly from curved weight platform, the bump having a rounded shape.
