Nope. Not gonna be doing the bench press for a while. I felt the strain in my left pec immediately on my first rep but I finished the set. At least I know the injury is not debilitating, just needs time. Have to work the tris that much harder.

A rushed workout––again, me needing to get to work on time. It was also soooo darrrrned muuuuggy. A fan, my kingdom for a fan! No denying I need to sleep better, but I'd also had four days off from last week, so I knew my body would be sluggish to get back on the bull.

My foot is feeling better every day, so I am tempted to swap out my leg extensions for a decline leg press, at least for a few sets. Next workout I will swap out the barbell for dumbbells. Muscle confusion, new techniques I read about, etc.
