Cycle 3 – 3s Week: Squat: 11/3/14
Decent rest but I only felt average as I start and end my day (6/10).

Energy level was mostly the same through the session.
Only managed a little over my minimum on the main lift but didn’t have it to do my goal for the day.
Not bad but felt I could have done better in a better day.

Struggled with the SLDL with Fat Gripz and I think I will drop the reps a little to help build myself up on it.
Otherwise a decent training session.
