No. No blocks. They don't allow me to deadlift off the floor completely in my gym because I "lift too heavy" so I folded two Yoga mats and used them as cushions between the plates and the floor. The yoga mat completely folds in. I was worried that I would be doing these off a block like rack deadlifts but even with the Yoga mats the bar is barely 1 inch off the floor. Add to that the 45 lbs plates in my gym here are smaller than the bumper plates I use at Trinity.

Exactly, Eric. It was supposed to be a few inches off the chest. But since I am doing Military Presses instead of the Bench, I used the same principle and set the bar a few inches off my clavicle. It's at this weird point where the bar is just at my nose (or rather my lower forehead).
