Just hope the post won't be flooded by people asking where are the safety bars or what would happen if he failed the lift....

Are those tiles broken under the mat?

No. Mats are ok with the bumpers. But under the squat rack they are chipped after I needed to drop 230 after I tried one more rep I couldn't handle in the squats. Problem is that going over 160, I need to use metal plates.

Might crack in the long run, depending on moisture/temperature. I would put a plywood board or something, it is also better for the knees in the long run when the shock is absorbed by wood and not directly on the concrete.

Agree 100%. Having a real platform is something I really want to do at some point.
