Cycle 5 – 1s Week: Power Clean & Deadlift: 2/23/15

Less than my usual amount of sleep lately but started my day good (6/10).
Energy level was great after my warm-up sets with the power cleans and sustained that way the rest of the session (7/10).

Somehow my left wrist and left elbow is not 100% today, could have been caused by extra chin-ups at home.
But that didn’t seem to hinder my session today.

Everything went smooth and I left feeling stronger today!
