April 14, 2013 – Heavy Press Day

The past few days have been a butt. Plain and simple. New changes at work caused me enough stress that I got sick with a head cold. Thursday and Friday were extremely stressful. I tried lifting after work Friday but it was bad one and I went home a fell asleep without eating dinner. No appetie the following day either and I slept 14 hours. Just went for a walk and spent most of the day thinking and trying to myself to eat and drink. The short of it is DE/ME for lower body, cube stuff for incline and what I've been doing for the overhead. See how this goes and try to to squeeze in events at some point. Will be much easier when I'm done with night school.

32 Minutes of Stretching

Comments: Not feeling so hot with the cold. Weird using the axle for incline. Just feels dense. Only done it once before several years ago. Not bad, just under my barbell max. Moved on to floor pressing with the swiss bar. Just warmed up with plate-quarter-plate and went from there. Quite tired from this. Didn't push the rows as hard as I could've. Hard to get my air doing reps being all congested. Finally got all the reps on triceps stuff. Good bit of stretching to try and loosen up my glutes, hips and back.
