This workout was a rough one. From the first set of DL's it was a struggle. In analyzing it I think it's because of a couple of reasons. First, it was a bad sleeping night. Too much on my mind and not enough mind to deal with it. I tried to get to bed early but ended up tossing around for 2 hours before finally relaxing enough to sleep. Second, this workout is pretty damn tough. On those last sets of both exercises the weight feels as heavy as the first. Couple that with not being in the gym for about 6 months it's been a while since I worked that heavy. So I'm taking the next couple of days off and will get back in there on Sunday morning.
