Cycle 4 – 5s Week: Squat: 12/1/14
Good amount of sleep and decent feeling as I start my day (5/10).
Energy level was a good after my warm-ups (6/10) and was sustained most of the session.
Left elbow is a bit better but not fully recovered yet.
Also had to work-in with another lifter.
Think it helped motivate me and make my session better.
