things will flex if you push hard enough, the thing to worry about is a "soft spot"

ie if your deck flexes about the same amount with about the same pressure everywhere then your decks are probably ok

but if 1 area, typically circular and about the size of a small plate, flexes a lot more than the rest of the deck then you may have delam problems. ie a "soft spot"
