Oct 30 – Chest
This was the first workout so far this off season where things felt off so I am saying this because I want you guys to know that it happens to me too. Not sure if it was just the gym or possibly new movement or what but my strength was sub par to put it best. Hard not to get frustrated but I tried to just do my best to exhaust my chest even though the weights were down through different means.
