Cycle 3 – 1s Week: Overhead Press: 11/28/14

Decent sleep and felt average as I start the day (5/10).
Energy level improved for the session (6/10) but my left elbow was still acting up.

Decent session but was upset with myself by not getting my goal reps on my main lift.
But I did more than necessary.
