Comments: Still fighting off this cold so workout was a tad rough. Felt slow and heavy but film suggests otherwise. Still going strong with the planned weights. Wide grips actually felt somewhat tough this time. First set is always harder than the second. Dead pressing was easy. Dips were pretty tough, weight was swaying back and forth. Tried a warm-up set for front raises but it didn't really help much so I may just continue jumping right in to the work weight. Finished up with the usual.
