Cycle 3 – 3s Week: Bench Press: 11/7/14

Decent amount of sleep and feeling average as I start my day (5/10)
Sustained energy level was just decent through the session (6/10).

Think I hurt my left elbow/lower left bicep area during my SLDL with Fat Gripz last session.
Noticed a slight discomfort during rows and pull-ups but not during presses and chin-ups.

I was also rushing today so only did dynamic warm-ups and no foam rolling and wall balls.
Still decent performance for what mattered today.

But a couple extra reps compared to last session!

Left arm was tough due to the elbow/bicep issue.
Stopped at 17 reps on the right arm to not unbalance.
Think I will deload on this next session.
