Weekly feature: What did you do

As no one else has posted this, I'll do it...

***

What I did: Went to the gym on Tuesday for my back training and some running, and felt great about it. Used the first four shoulder rehab exercises in this video three to four times a day, with very good effect.

Also, helped a friend move. Lifted about 30 items between 5 and 30 kg, carried them down three-and-a-half flights of stairs, down a long driveway, lifted them into a van, later, out of the van and down another flight of stairs. And walked back up all those stairs. In 30°C heat. I am dead on my feet today, but quite proud.

I went to the gym to do barbell lifts, and deadlifted 116% of my bodyweight! This is the first time I've ever lifted a weight that outweighs me.
