How to best support a bathtub

So I gutted my bathroom only to find that the old bathtub was only being supported by a thin piece of wood down the middle and nothing but two makeshift cheats. I supplied photos. My question is, what would be the best method to reinforce the floor beneath the new tub without altering any of the current plumbing? I was considering floor joists, but the sewage pipe runs right across the width of the opening. Suggestions please? submitted by /u/chartrmx9868 [link] [comments]
