Squat Day

Beginning Thoughts:
I was not in the mood for this workout. My hips as SO sore from Overhead Squats! I was groaning and creaking like an old man during this workout. Not to mention it was freezing walking from my room to the gym and I got soaked wet in the rain too.

Overall Impression:
With final exams starting from Thursday, I've just been very busy and stressed. My form on the squats was a bit iffy because I just could not mentally focus. Next time I'll do better, I'm sure. 

I hope everyone's had a good start to the week. Good luck!
