Workout:
I had a rough workout today. My body was just tired from the past week of training.
I did 3 rounds of 6 squats with the 44's, and then had to back down to the 35's for the other 5 rounds.
I tried to do a few presses with the 26's and just couldn't get them up so I did 4 sets of 5 windmills with the 26's instead.
I then proceeded to come home and sleep :).
