5/3/1: Cycle 2 – 3s Week: Overhead Press: 9/26/14

Cycle 2 – 3s Week: Overhead Press: 9/26/14

A little less sleep than I wanted today.
Felt average as I dragged myself to the gym (5/10)but felt better as I started my warm-up sets.

Decided to do Wall Balls instead of Rowing Machine as part of my pre-workout warm-ups and like it.
Helped grease myself up for the presses.

Good session for the main lift and decent on my accessory work.
