Cycle 2 – 5s Week: Overhead Press: 9/12/14

Woke up too early and didn’t get the longer amount of sleep I wanted.
Energy level was just decent from start until I did my accessory work.

Performance today was not as good as I wanted it to be but still managed most of what I wanted to do.
I guess that sleep hurt me a little.

I think I could have a shorter session if I didn’t BS a little with someone I know at the gym.
Decent session and can be improved upon.
