Cycle 15 – 1s Week: Overhead Press: 8/23/13

Had a couple of naps before I finally was able to sleep for 5 hours before work.
Couple more naps after and think that added well enough to make me feel decent as I started to go to the gym after work (6/10).

Energy level boosted nicely after my warm-up sets (7/10) and stayed that way the rest of the session!
Good session overall and helped motivate me considering my lacktastic previous session a couple days ago!
