Cycle 4 – 5s Week: Overhead Press: 2/28/14

First training session after a couple weeks off due to sickness and recovering from it.
Slept around 6 hours and felt good as I started off to the gym (6/10).

I should have dropped the weight some considering I just recovered from a double infection but I was being stubborn.
Paid for it by not able to finish my whole session the way I wanted to and even stalled on the main lift.

Think I will finish off the 3s week and see from there if I will deload and start Cycle 5 early with much lighter weights or move on.
