Cycle 14 – 3s Week: Squat: 6/17/13

Solid 6 hours of sleep before I went to the gym and feeling decent (5/10)
Felt better as I progressed into my main lift (6/10) but started feeling fatigued as I worked on my assistance work.
Think I should have had more rest in order to have done a better session.
