StrongLifts 5x5 (Part 2), Week 3, Day 1

Today was a rough one. I felt like crap when I hit the gym today and that translated into being exceptionally weak. I didn't even manage to complete all the exercises I wanted to because my wife was being a bit of a crybaby at the time and just wanted to leave after her workout. She's on night shifts and every time she goes on nights, she is completely unbearable to be around until it's over. I don't think she even knows.

Anyway, I was weak. I don't know why but I did manage to do quite a bit. Hopefully I can pick it up later. The only positive thing is that I progressed on the bench press again. It's starting to get a little bit scary honestly because when I get to that last set I can totally feel the last couple of reps being hard. This means it's only a matter of time until I fail. I just need to be able to fail gracefully and put the bar down safely. I'd feel better if I had a mate to spot me or could get a rack with a proper safety setup.

Oh well...
