I'm not sure what the difference was, either I gained physical strength or I gained mental strength or a combination of the two, but I was able to finally surpass the Overhead Press 5x5 @ 30kg today. Some day in the future I would like to 1MR 90kg or so at this weight (about 200 pounds) without a jerk or a throw up of the weight. That goal is right up there with being able to squat 1.5x my body weight and bench 1.2x my body weight. 

Overall things weren't that much more difficult today than they were on Monday. Overall I was feeling stronger this morning than previously. This may be due to the fact that I seemed to have slept relatively okay last night. I went to bed early-ish (10:30PM) and tried to force myself to sleep. I woke up a few times during the night, but always went back to bed instead of getting up. Eventually I hopped out of bed at 6:30am relatively rested. RELATIVELY. I didn't really get a full 8 hours of sleep, but I was in the bed for 8 hours... maybe that's a start.

Anyway, Friday should be "fun". I have a sneaky suspicion that I am going to alternately stall on Rows and Overhead Press at least until I start stalling on my other lifts. I think I'm going to have to start looking into de-loading strategies relatively soon in order to keep my progress up.
