    Carried a wardrobe up some stairs today. Stared at it for a long time. Concluded there was no physical way to get it around the stair head. Carried it back down. That was not a lot of fun.

    Bench 20 2 x 5, 30 x 5, 40 x 3, 47.5 x 1. 53.5 x 5, 5, 4. Damn close this time. Will probably have one more try.

    Sunday 13th
    Dismantled the wardrobe and carried it up in pieces today. That worked better.

    Squat 20 2 x 5, 40 x 5, 50 x 3, 60 x 2, 70 x 1, 75 x 1, 82.5 3 x 5. Felt hard and heavy, but all reps moved fast and technique OK.

    RDL 60 3 x 12
    Resorted to straps on these, so also did 2 thumbless holds for 20 sec and 28 sec resp.

    one-leg squat 3 x 10. Got the balance down, so will add weight next time.

    Hanging leg raise 2 x 5

    Treadmill intervals. 4 rounds of the 12.5:9:5.5 this time.

    Also, while everything still feels heavy and hard, I am feeling less nervy and crap about training. Might be the re-shake, might be nothing. But it's nice.
