Press Assistance Day - Cycle 14

Press Assistance Day
Cycle 14

Overall Impression:

so...ive decided to rename the bench press day to "Press Assistance Day" as it seems more appropriate

i had a good workout on the whole. i weighed myself in today morning completely unfed and after i took a huge dump and i was 178. when i went to the gym in the evening and weighed myself post workout i weighed in at 183. i guess i ate a lot of food yesterday. but good news is that the extra weight is looking good

- 135 lbs x 3 reps
