this training day was not the bomb.

bench felt heavy, but at least now i know i can hit 120# on my WORST day!  i definitely let the bench effect my mood and attitude towards the rest of the session.

back squats were going okay, but i did have the most foul attitude.  by the middle of the heavy sets, i really ran out of steam.  in an unprecedented move, i cut them a set and a half short.  the bar felt heavy and unstable, and was peeling out of the squats.  i also dropped the ball and totally forgot to try full grip on my warmup sets.  next week!

max reps kill me!  i weighed 113.8# that a.m., used 115#.  goal was 20, so i was happy with 17, not sure how i ended up pulling out 21. :)

the week before my period is always the worst training week of the month for me.  this time, it hit me like a fucking freight train.
