Just hit 500 square yards of carpet in a single week for the first time
It was a massive commercial job in a new office building in Denver. I was pulling 12 hour days with my crew, and we were just laying it down non-stop. When I tallied it up on Friday, the number honestly shocked me. I didn't think we could push that much material that fast. Has anyone else ever pushed past a personal limit like that on a big job?

You said you were "pulling 12 hour days" and that number honestly shocked you. I read an article once about how people in trades hit these crazy output levels on big deadline jobs, and it said the body and mind can do way more than you think when the whole team is in that zone. It sounds like you found that limit and just blew right past it. That's a serious week of work.

Totally. The key is to eat way more than you think you need, even when you're not hungry. And drink water like it's your job, because you'll crash hard if you don't.

Yeah, that's a crazy amount of carpet. Hitting a wall like that and just pushing through feels unreal. Good on you and your crew.
