A week in workouts #6 (3rd – 9th August, 2020)

Really happy with my performance this week, shoulders aside. I had a substantial setback on the shoulder press, going backwards by three reps. I may have had a bad day or I may have misrecorded the weight used in prior weeks. Truth is I do not know, I only know that I maxed out at 9 reps on the second set. I’ll be interested to see how I perform next week.
