That should work, you could even do one layer of carpet or carpet tile with the centre cut out and a second layer over that.

Notes:

  • Had really good sleep last night, which made it harder to get up and train because I was enjoying it. I like to take the moments to celebrate this, because at the height of my illness, I was sleep avoidant, absolutely hated sleeping, and would get up to train at 0300 because I just couldnā€™t stand being in bed any more. Big contributor to today is that itā€™s become grossly humid, so I had a fan pointed directly at me all night, which the combination of cool breeze and white noise put me right out.
  • I was a little naughty on the squats and caught myself putting the bar a bit low on the first set. My superpower is that, since Iā€™ve dislocated my right shoulder 6 times, tore the labrum in it and experienced a few dozen subluxations, I can contort by upper body into bizarre positions to achieve a low bar thatā€™s actually illegal in some federations. Cool for moving max loads, but tends to shift the emphasis away from where I need. It being grossly humid has also made it that Iā€™m pretty excited about moving away from low bar and no longer wearing my grip shirt.
  • Pressing strength was pretty solid for today. Itā€™s been a struggle with my bodyweight not climbing up rapidly to meet demands.
  • That GHR weight keeps changing not because I keep changing it, but because I keep forgetting how much is actually loaded in the vest. I confirmed that it is for real 60lbs, so weā€™re going with that.
  • Went the full week doing 18-17-17 chins. Now itā€™s 18-18-17. Opened up the workout with 18. Also been including 10-15 unweighted reverse hypers with each session, to help with my SI joint.
  • Weighed 83.0kg this morning. Hard to know if Iā€™m looking at ā€œreal weightā€ at this point. The humidity is making me sweat more, Iā€™m coming down from a high sodium week, and this weekendā€™s gastrointestinal atrocities are a contributor as well, but I had a wonderful meal last night of 6 slices of homemade sourdough pizza topped with all the pork (bacon, pancetta, and lean ham) along with olives and pineapple, and then 3 sourdough cookies and a sourdough brownie alongside some raw local honey. That meal ALSO helps motivate me to train on Mondays.
  • ABF may be in a holding pattern. My kiddo is prepping for a track and field day at school, prioritizing running events and the Valkyrie has her next half marathon coming up in May (sheā€™ll be completing 40 half marathons before turning 40 with this one: huge milestone).
