With all that rest over the long holiday weekend, I expected to wake up ready for a size surging Monday. For some reason, however, I woke up tired. Really tired. Major lagging, and I can’t blame the holiday food because that was actually minimal. Heck, maybe I needed more of it. LOL..

Size Surging Monday Summary
I was on slow-mo this morning, but I still pulled myself through it. Ended up being a decent workout, and I changed chest work a bit so that incline work was up front to get more upper pec emphasis. Otherwise, it was mostly a carbon copy of last Monday. I like the reduced volume, but it also leaves you with minimal time to make up for any lack of energy. And that just reminded me of why this morning’s workout wasn’t as great as any of last-week’s. I totally forgot to take my pre-workout supplements. D’oh! Lesson learned, and obviously something I need right now.
