HAPPY BIRTHDAY ZARSKY!!!!
(Some say that Zarsky's birthday was yesterday, and they may be right, but it is difficult to pinpoint since she was engineered in a lab and is a collection of body parts grafted together to make a human embodiment of all things evil and destructive. I chose to post the recorded birthday for her brain since that is reportedly the most evil component, which is today, 5/8.)

Deadlift
3 x 3

Power Clean
90% x 10

Hmm. Would fighting with shuttlecocks count as Alectryomachy?

"It's kinda like putting a saddle on a horse" (As Mandy is putting the magic belt on me).

"Either buckle the girth or tie the cinch up loosely. Tighten the girth or cinch gently in small increments. It’s common to girth a horse up suddenly and tightly, causing the horse to kick or bite. This can cause the horse to resent being girthed up and become ‘girthy’. Some horses may bloat themselves in anticipation of discomfort. Ask the horse to step forward, wait a moment for it to exhale and tighten the girth gently again.
Only tighten the girth enough to hold the saddle firmly in place. Some riders feel the tighter the girth the more secure they will be. There should be no need to make link sausage out of your horse by over tightening the girth—this can lead to injury and may compromise your horse’s breathing. You should be able to slide your fingers between the girth or cinch and your horse. "
