Cycle 3 – 5s Week: Overhead Press: 10/31/14

Decent sleep for once but had really poor amount of sleep the last few days.
Only felt decent as I started my day (5/10) and didn’t improve much the whole session.

Only managed the bare minimum on the main lift and the accessory work was tough.
Mentally felt like I should quit halfway through the accessory work but pushed through.

Could have been a bad day due to the poor rest the last few days.
