Overhead Press

ARGH 260 lb was so close!

My back (low and middle) was feeling a bit sore, probably from maxing out on front squats yesterday. For some reason, the left side was a bit more sore than my right. This might have caused my core to be weak on one side.

Maybe I'll try again next week.

Ever since I started taking strength training seriously, I was bitten by the Iron Bug. Then it burrowed under my skin and laid eggs in my heart. Now those eggs are hatching and I... the feeling is indescribable.
