Cycle 12 – 1s Week: Power Clean & Deadlift: 4/16/13
Slept for around 4.5 hrs before work and snuck in a couple naps here and there.
Didn’t feel that great but not too bad as I arrived at the gym. (5/10)
Energized a bit as I finished my power clean warm-up sets (6/10) and had a steady energy from there.
I am guessing I had a nice Carb Back-load the night before and helped my session despite the less than adequate rest!
Good session overall but I ran short on time and had to skip sit-ups as part of my assistance work.
Not too worried about it much as we do some core work in my martial arts class the next day!
