Cycle 2 – 3s Week: Bench Press: 9/19/14

Decent sleep but felt like I could have slept longer.
Changes today was added weight to the pull/chin-ups and dips and removed the warm-up set for Kroc Rows.

Energy level was average at start (5/10) and was decent for most of the session.
Main lift was fine but accessory work was tough.
Starting to sense a pattern here.
